Most everyone, at some point in their life, has dreamed of being somebody special, somebody big. Who hasn't fantasized about being the one who hits the game-winning homer? Who hasn't dreamed of being the homecoming queen? And how many times have we dreamed of being rich, or successful, or happy with our relationships?
Of all these big dreams and personal goals, too many times these dreams just remain as dreams. For all our desire to aspire, they simply gather mental dust over the ages. Even though from time to time we dust them off to longingly look at them.
Just in recognizing their presence could become another sad reminder in our lives. By reviewing the glorious hopes, we can find that far from living this life of excitment, we are only stuck in the daily grind of our routine jobs. Often, just barely existing under the debt and threat of job loss.
Did you ever think that life could actually be much better if only we learned to convert these dreams to responsible action?
Of course, the first stumbling block to achieving any goal is to believe in that lie called "Impossible." There are a lot of phrases like that: "I can't do this." or "It's too hard." "It's too unrealistic." "No one can do this."
Of course, if everyone thought that way, there would probably never have been any inventions, discoveries, or breakthroughs which make up the list of human accomplishments.
Now you may recall the story of baffled scientists to tried to apply the laws of aerodynamics to the simple bumblebee. They all agreed that in theory it was impossible for the lowly bee to fly at all. However, no one ever got around to telling the bee that - so it continues to fly through its life with no difficulties at all.
One key self-imposed limit is to have these grand dreams and then to take no action on them. The outcome is often that there are only dull, humdrum lives - with broken dreams and the only action is on TV sets.
To the degree you limit yourself with doubt and assumptions of pre-ordained failure, you may never be able to have any breakthrough past what you now consider to be impossible. Sky high dreams can only fail when you take no action toward any goal you've set.
Try this exercise: Take a sheet of paper and write down the main goals you wouldn't mind achieving. Make three headers -Things you know you can do; Things you might be able to do; and Things which are impossible to do.
Now work out the steps you can see right now that would help you achieve that goal. Put them under each header according to how hard you think they are to attain or achieve.
Now every day, review that goal statement and see that dream in your mind again. Then, look over that list under "Things you know you can do" and get some of those done that day. And look over "Things you might be able to do" and see if you can get some of those done somehow.
As you start getting more and more things done in the first column, you can work on getting more things done in the second column, as these will probably become more possible to do. As you get better at getting things done, you can look over that third column of "Things that are impossible to do" and see if you now start seeing how some of those might be able to get done.

Go Beyond Affirmations and Visualizations – Feel the Energy Structure within Your Imagination
by: Pamela Skuse
|

A young child has a vivid imagination. Their 5 senses are heightened and their imagination can perform at a higher level than an adult. Why to adults loose their imagination, why do they think that dreaming is only for losers? The imagination is the whole creative area that has been shut down in the human condition - it has been shut down within you since childhood. You’ve been taught to think logical and to be analytical. You have placed the intellect and the mind on a pedestal, because you have been taught that the imagination was for dreamers - not for doers. It is quite the opposite; there is more to the imagination then just mere wishing or hoping for a mental desire or goal to be obtained.
To address your issues, problems and challenges can be broken down into 5 main categories.
1. Affirmations
2. Visualizations
3. Soul Imagination
4. Safe Energy
5. Choose Your Script
Let’s take a look at each individual category:
1. Affirmations - To some degree as an adult you may have tried to get your imagination back through affirming your desires from saying affirmations. You try to force your way through that barrier to get what you want by repeating affirmations over and over like a parrot constantly saying “I am a pretty boy”. It doesn’t mean that the parrot understands or even believes what the statement means, let alone feeling and knowing that he is or can be a pretty boy. You cannot fake something or put on a façade to cover up what you are truly feeling within you. You either feel that you are a pretty boy or you don’t. In other words, affirmations don’t really work, unless you feel that energy within you, unless you ‘are’ made up of that energy within you. It is to ‘be and live’ what you choose to feel. Energy is reflected from the inner to the outer. Your desire will reflect in the outer when you feel the energy of your desire within you. It doesn’t have to be forced or manipulated for you to achieve that desire. You just have to feel it, believe it, be it and live it.
2. Visualizations – Visualization is also a forced mental exercise, where you hope to get what you want through trying to see something in your mind’s eye. The mind is limited – it doesn’t know beyond what it knows, so how can it imagine something outside the mind’s comprehension and perception? When you try to imagine in the mind you are limiting yourself to the fears, conditions and the agendas of what the mind knows. You stay trapped in that scenario, in that belief system because mass consciousness also believes and lives in that limited condition. The mind gets stuck in your ‘proven fact of reality’, thinking that ‘what you see is what you get’ and that cannot be changed. You prove your truth and it is reinforced within your reality by proving the fact that what you believe in is your truth. So how can the mind get out of the mental stuck cycle scenario? It is to use your imagination.
3. Soul Imagination – to bring in the soul imagination you have to be willing to go beyond the mental visions and visualizations? It is to go beyond day dreaming where you think it can’t be obtained, but it is nice to dream anyway? It is to go beyond wishing, hoping and affirming affirmations so you can be in touch with your soul imagination? Soul imagination is not a delusion, unless you want it to be. Those who are delusional are highly imaginative, it is all about bringing back into your life what is appropriate, what suits you and what you choose and that can be in a balance or unbalanced state. What type of balance do you choose to be in and how appropriate does your imagery desire serve you, not others, but does it empower you or disempower you? Is it your truth or is it the truth of others? It depends on what you choose to play with.
4. The Safe Energy - The safe energy is the foundation for your soul imagination to truly express, play and to open up the imagination. Do you feel safe on the outside? Do you feel safe on the inside of you? Do you feel less safe on the inside than the outside? Do you feel separated, not integrated, unworthy, out of agreement and alignment or in conflict with self? The Who Am I Formula can assist you to bring in the soul imagination, because it is beyond the mind, but it takes trust to allow that energy to flow in. The soul imagination is to allow your energies to soar, to view and feel different potentials that exist – the positive and negative. It is to allow yourself to feel the different scenarios and then make a selection, a choice to bring back into your now moment through the breath.
5. Choose Your Script - The soul imagination goes into new levels and realms to bring what you desire into your life, without questioning or analysing from the mind, without the influence of others, for your mind has no idea what potentials lie behind the scene of your current acting play. You have many, many potentials to choose from in your life. You have written many scripts to act out and play with, so which one do you choose to bring forth? It is up to you to choose which one you want to act out and what you want to bring to life in your physical reality. So, you imagine all of the potentials and choose what you would like to imagine for yourself – the idea? Which script do you want to bring in to your life?
If you try to be specific with the details, you are going mental, you are visualizing. For example, it is to imagine and feel a life where all your desires are taken care of for you, you imagine or dream the joy and the relief… what a relief… the sight of relief is what you feel. Don’t worry about the fine details because your agenda limits the structure of energy. Have a broad overview, feel the energy of joy and relief. Allow that energy to come in and know that your desire is already taken care of. This means you don’t have to hang on to it or trap it. It is there, it is not going to go away. Just imagine that joy of that energy coming in. Breathe it into your reality and allow it to manifest.
