Dream

"I have learned, that if one advances confidently in the direction of his dreams, and endeavors to live the life he has imagined, he will meet with a success unexpected in common hours."

- Henry David Thoreau

"The future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams."

- Eleanor Roosevelt

Dreaming is the first step in goal setting. The dream gives life to the desire to achieve. It is the motivation that keeps you going when you are struggling to realize your goal. The dream is the powerful visualization that allows you to see the possibilities of what could be. It is the "why" that motivates you to act. It is the dream that has the power to change the world.

Allow yourself to dream. From the dream, the answers to "what?" and "how?" will follow. I believe that the road to happiness is paved with dreams.

Part of my exercise to put together My Treasure Map to Riches was to make my dreams more visual and to ensure that I kept my dreams in my thoughts. I have taken a picture of my Map and will be carrying it with me. As well, I have put the map in a prominent place in my den so I see it every day. One of the premises of the book The Secret, is the law of attraction. I am experimenting with this law, by creating the Map. If I think about the things I want, I will bring them to me. I'll let you know how it goes.

One of the other steps in creating the Treasure Map is to quantify how much money you will need to achieve the things in your dream. I am still working on the number. I am trying to determine what the least amount of money I would need. I am hoping that I will come up with a way to do this in my current financial position. Being an analytical person - I think I'll need a spreadsheet. Just kidding - LOL!

Keep dreaming your
