Today's
quotation:
You must learn to turn your
dreams into exactly expressed targets. Once you have done so, and know just where you are heading, you
are then in a position to see immediately an opportunity when it
comes your way.

Today's
Meditation:
All of us
would like to see our dreams come true-- some of them, at
least-- but most of us don't really have specific plans in
place to try to make that happen. And we don't have
plans in place that will allow us to be ready for
opportunities that come along when they happen. Most
of us simply try to keep on keeping on, on the path we
happen to be on, without keeping in mind the fact that
there's a good chance that there's a better road out there
for us, and it's up to us to make the move to that
road--it's not just going to fork off of the one that
we're on all by itself.
For
many of us, a dream is simply a dream and it will remain
that way forever. We don't acknowledge the fact that
we can make our dreams become reality if we really want
to, but we have to decide that we want to realize the
dream and then do all that we can to reach the target,
rather than simply hope and pray that we'll someday
receive our dream through some amazing miracle.
It's
only when we put ourselves on the right road that the
dreams can become truth. I'm never going to find an
exit to the Grand Canyon if I'm on Interstate 90-- I'd have
to be on Interstate 40 for that to happen. My dream
job isn't going to happen unless I prepare myself for it;
the person I dream of meeting isn't going to show up
unless I create situations in which I can meet a variety
of people in diverse situations. My dream can be
realized only when I put myself in a position in which
that can realistically happen.
We
can't abandon our dreams, but we can't take them for
granted. If we truly wish for our dreams to come
true, then we have to create the conditions that will
provide opportunities that wouldn't happen if we were
living in other conditions. You're the captain of
your own ship, and your ship will reach the proper port
only when you do all that's necessary to get it there--
you
can't just leave port and raise the sails and expect to
reach your destination, for there's
much, much more to it than that.

Questions to
consider:
What specific things might you do to create conditions in
which your dreams may be realized?
Why do so many people give up on their dreams?
What would life be like if we had no dreams to dream? |
For further
thought:
High on the
wall, in the castle of your dreams of success, hangs
the picture of what you want to be. Always keep that picture
hanging there. See yourself where you intend to be.
Night and
day dream of what you intend to do and what you intend to be,
for your dreams interpret your intentions always.
All successes are, at first, dreams.
