Dream great big, wonderful dreams, dreams that you can feel in the depth of your being. Dreams that resonate perfectly with who you are.

And know, without a doubt, that you will bring them to life. The moment you have the dream, it begins to become real. You can feel it beginning to take shape within you. Hold on to that feeling, and experience it growing stronger and stronger as each moment passes. And as you do, you’ll find yourself beginning to fill in all the details, the details that will bring that dream fully to life.

Keep doing that, keep focusing on your dream, day after day. Keep giving it rich detail, and flesh it out more fully. Do that, and something amazing happens. Opportunities begin to appear, opportunities for making the real and effective efforts that will bring your dream to reality. As you continue to focus on the what and the why of your dream, the how begins to make itself known to you.

No, the fulfillment of your dream is not going to just materialize right in front of your eyes without you having to do anything. Because if that happened, it would be meaningless to you. You’d have the artifacts of your dream, the superficial, material tokens of your dream, but you would not have the genuine, fulfilling substance of the dream itself.

To really, truly have that dream, and to experience the fulfillment that it brings, you must be the one to make it happen. You know that. You long to make a difference in this life, and nothing else can take the place of that.

And the great thing is, you can do it. You have it within you to achieve whatever matters to you. You just have to keep yourself reminded of it, keep yourself reminded of the positive possibilities, your own unique possibilities, your own special dream. Keep yourself reminded, day after day, moment by moment, in every situation, through every challenge, as you encounter each obstacle, as you enjoy the small victories and the occasional disappointments, keep yourself reminded of your dream.
