Long forgotten
Dreams
Course through the
Veins of past
Regret
Filling the soul of now
With hope
Awakening the river of
Light

My heart
Greets each
Twist and turn with
Harmonious revelation
Carried away
On a tidal wave
Of bliss

Each breath
Mingles with
Heartfelt wonder
A waterfall of golden
Light
Soothes the
Essence of humanity
Gifting relief
To all who desire
To receive
Boundless well-being

Imbibe the river of life
Intoxicate your soul with
Liquid radiance
Cast stones of
Possibility
Into the ever-expanding
Chasm of desire.

Today’s post is “Part One” in a three part series on “Living The Dream”. Today we’ll look at how to begin creating your ideal life.

Are you living the dream? Are you willing to do whatever it takes to get there?

That’s a big question. Let’s face it, most of us think we’re willing to do what it takes to get where we want to go. There’s a difference however, between saying you’re willing and actually taking the steps to get there.

I came upon a cartoon on twitter recently that simply and brilliantly illustrates this point. The speaker asks his audience, “Who wants change?”. All the hands go up. Then he asks them, “Who wants to change?”. All the hands go down and all eyes shift down to the floor.

Are you ready and willing to put your dreams into action?

In essence, we love the idea of change, however, when it comes to creating change in our familiar lives we resist. Why? Because even though our lives may not be exactly as we would like them to be, they’re familiar. And familiarity keeps us in our cherished comfort zone, whether it’s to our highest good or not.

Saying you’re willing to do whatever it takes is great. However, without clarity, you may find yourself in perpetual inaction. For many of you this statement is the precursor to a list of excuses. I’m willing to do what it takes but I’m too busy, I’m too tired, I’ll get around to it, it’s on my list, I don’t have the skills…fill in the blank. Do any of these sound familiar?

I  used to think I was doing what it takes. I busied myself with lists of tasks and courses that promised to bring the results I thought I wanted. I can tell you from my own experience and the experience of many women I’ve worked with, living the dream all begins with getting clear on what you want.

Without clarity, all the action in the world won’t get you where you think you want to go.

You’re here to live a joyful, prosperous and successful life and you get to define what that is for you. How awesome is that? Each one of you has the power and inner resources to create the life you came here to live.

Where to begin?

Create a script of what it looks and feels like to be living the dream.

Grab your journal, a piece of paper or open a new word processing document and begin scripting in detail about what your ideal life looks and feels like. Get out of your head, into your heart and allow your stream of consciousness to take you on a journey as you fill the page.

Write from the perspective that you already have what you want. This gets you out of your old stories and helps you create a new reality.

Here are ten questions to help get you started:

• What are you doing?
• What do you love about what you’re doing?
• Who’s with you?
• Where are you?
• What are you experiencing?
• How does it feel in your body?
• What steps did you take to get there?
• Are you aligned with what you really want?
• How would you describe your emotions?
• What do you want your future to look and feel like?

Being specific will also help you delve deeper and gain clarity about what you want, while building excitement about the abundant possibilities available to you. This gets you into vibrational alignment with your dreams and begins drawing them to you.

Think of your script as a work in progress. Continue to add to it or change it as you further explore what you would like to create. Let it fuel the inspiration behind the design of your ideal life.

Next week in Part Two of “Living The Dream”, I’ll take you through a visualization that will help you expand your vision and raise your vibration in alignment with what you want.

With love and gratitude,
Pamela
