What if you’ve been working really hard trying to get a promotion or making those sales so that you can realize your dream of being a millionaire. And then one day the realization hits you that it may never happen -- you may never be a millionaire. OR, it may hit you that working this hard to achieve this one goal, may not be worth it.
What do you do? Do you just give up that dream?
That’s a HUGE idea isn’t it. Giving up a dream. Almost blasphemy to say it. But here’s what I’m really talking about. When we hold on so rigidly to an idea of what a situation, or a thing, or a dream, should look like, we strangle the air out of its potential.
What I mean is that oftentimes our dreams are desires that mask what we really need instead. Perhaps the dream of being a millionaire is actually a desire for certainty. Or not, maybe you just want to be stinkin’ rich.
The problem is that when you expect your dream to arrive looking a certain way, you are inviting disappointment. I think it's best to try and be as clear and concise with our dreams and base them on a truthful need rather than reacting to a neediness based on ego and narcissism.
The potential of our dreams lies in the asking, but most importantly its fruition depends on our ACCEPTANCE of how it shows up on our doorstep.
