A few months ago I had a session with a brilliant intuitive, Asa Hoffman. He shared some amazing insight about what he saw coming up for me.

As I sat in my office a few months after my reading, I found myself surrounded with opportunity and contemplating which direction to head next. I started thinking what Asa would say and really wanted to call and ask what he saw for me.

Then, I remembered, if I was to get an answer from him and put my attention to it and emotionalize it, I could most likely create it. That is how creation works.

It’s a wonderful thought, but to do that limits the possibilities. Maybe there was something beyond that I couldn’t see. By focusing on this one thing I want, I shut down from seeing something greater.

Many people have heard of vision boards and yes, they are powerful in that we create through images. However, it’s important to remember to focus on the feelings these images bring, not the actual images.

I love what Elia Wise writes in her book, Letter to Earth: “To optimize your alignment for bringing a dream to realization, translate your dream from images into values and feelings, and inhabit the values and feelings of the dream.

When you visualize, contemplate or meditate on your dream, or when you are communicating your dream to others, ask yourself: ‘What part of myself am I seeking to express by living this dream? What aspects of myself will gain realization? What values will I have the opportunity to explore? What will I bring to life? How will I feel living this dream? How will I grow?’”

Now the challenge. Once you’ve identified all of these ideals, you must inhabit them. This is where thoughts of doubt come up along with feeling distant from the dream.

You don’t need to “get” your dream, but rather BE your dream now. When you acknowledge that you are not something now, you become distant from it and then don’t put yourself in the same vibration to attract what is needed for its physical realization.

To live your dream think, speak and act like the person living that dream now. In so doing, you attract all that is needed to create it.

How does the person in your dream think? Hold those thoughts. How do they speak? Speak those words. What actions do they take? Take those actions.

Your thoughts, words and actions create the manifestations in your life. Thus, to change your circumstances you must embrace and inhabit the qualities of the person in your dream.

Now, the self-responsibility kicks in. What changes are YOU willing to make in order to BE the person in your dream NOW?

That’s the tough part.

I know for me I had to let go of what others might think. I had to realize that the fears I had been projecting on my husband and other family members were actually my own. I had to be willing to not know all the answers and give up trying to control, so I could let life flow through me. I had to be willing to be in service vs. trying to get what I wanted. I had to acknowledge that if I wanted to change my life I had to change me.

What steps are you willing to take to become the person in your dream TODAY?

Whatever Goliath you are facing in your life right now, allow yourself to be David knowing you have the strength in you to overcome anything.

Overcoming these perceived limitations allows you to create breakthroughs in your life and realize you are living your dream RIGHT NOW!

The challenges you are facing help you realize your strength. A river just flows until it hits a wall (a dam). That wall or dam can create power for miles. Without the dam, the power cannot be realized.

Embrace your dam and live your vision NOW!
