Many people live ninety years, while others live the same year ninety times. What sets the two apart? Those who live their years to the fullest are actively living their dreams. The key is understanding that we all have the potential to live the lives we’ve always dreamed of—if we open ourselves to new possibilities and opportunities.
Too often, we are conditioned to focus on our circumstances to determine what’s possible for our lives. This mindset, however, can limit us, especially when we rely only on what our five senses tell us.
To truly create the life we want, we must step beyond these limitations and tap into our intuition, imagination, and perception. By doing so, we can better connect with our heart’s desires and begin to realize the dreams that will bring us the happiness we long for.
Each of us has an inner voice—a voice not of logic or reason, but of guidance. This voice may not always make sense to others, but it’s there to help us recognize and nurture the thoughts that lead us toward our dreams.
The Key to Dream Building
The underlying principle of building the life you desire is this: The power within you is greater than anything outside of you. It’s stronger than your circumstances, your history, or anything in your environment.
We can choose to let limiting beliefs and fears dictate our lives, or we can direct our thoughts toward the dreams that will empower and inspire us.
Changing the way we think is essential in building the life we dream of. It’s a two-step process:
- Release condition-based thinking: Focusing on what we don’t want often brings it closer to us. For example, if you want to lose weight and focus on “not eating pizza,” you end up craving it more.
- Focus on what you do want to create: Think about what you desire—whether it’s a healthier body or a new career—and visualize that outcome. When we focus on our desired outcome, we are more likely to make choices aligned with our goals.
We are the authors of our own thoughts. The past or present does not need to define our future. Let go of limiting ideas, and instead, fill your mind with the possibilities of your dreams. By embracing your inner power, you can begin to write a future that supports your dreams and the life you’ve always wanted to create.
