PUBLISHER'SLETTER
Some men see things as they are and say, “Why?” I dream of things that never were and say, “Why not?”
– George Bernard Shaw I
f I only had one piece of advice that I could give to any- one it would be to never stop dreaming. And I don’t mean night dreams, I mean our biggest desires, goals and aspira- tions. Dreams are the lifeblood of our being. They are what keep us going during the worst of times and what inspire us
to accomplish incredible things during the best of times. Without dreams, where would we be? Can you imagine the kind of world we would have if everyone stopped dreaming? It would be a stark and desolate place full of people who were numb and dead inside.
If you’ve lost your ability to dream, think back to when you were a child and
even into your young adulthood years. For the most part, as children, all we did was dream. We envisioned what kind of career we would have, who we would marry, how many children we’d have, where we would live and the list goes on and on. Why was it so easy back then? One reason is that we had a lot more time to spend thinking and dreaming. And we had a lot less responsibility and there- fore less things to worry about. Now, as adults, we barely have time to think, let alone pass the day away dreaming about how we would like our life to be. But I say we need to do exactly that to keep the dreamer in us alive and kicking!
We need to cultivate that part of us that we may have lost a long time ago.
While it would be easy for me to recommend that you spend entire days coaxing the dreamer out of you, I do understand that most of us truly don’t have that kind of time. But what I do suggest is that you try and spend 5 minutes a day every day, just daydreaming. Think of it as your visualization time where you plant the seeds of what you would like to manifest over the next year or years of your life. Now comes the hard part – I want you to take out your calendars and schedule one evening a week and one half day a month to be your sacred date times. This will be time spent in solitude, just dreaming or visualizing. You don’t have to journal or create a vision board or even write your thoughts down, unless of course you feel strongly compelled to do so. It actually would be better if you did not and you just relaxed and let yourself drift into daydream land. This is how you bring the dreamer back into your life. Trust me, you will be so glad you’ve done this, especially if you’ve lost your dreamer, as once you get it back, you will see worlds of opportunities where before there were none.
