The Power of Dreaming By Kim Normand
Dreaming and utilising the power of your
mind is necessary for all of us to be able to reach a state of excited creativity and fulfillment in life. Dreaming ormore specifically envisioning theway we want reality to be triggers our spark within and gives us a goal to pursue that is aligned to our passion. When I was growing up I was told to “get
practical” and “ you are such a dreamer you won’t achieve anything “. Dreaming was looked upon as a negative. It took me years to become proud of my “
dreamer” status as I realized without a dream I would seriously not achieve anything in my life. If you cannot see it within yourself how can you create it ? We all need that dream to trigger a path for-
ward. Children need to be encouraged to be cre- ative and to use their mind in this way. If you dream of reaching the stars at least there will be a chance of getting there, maybe you’ll reach the ceiling but without the dream you will not go any where at all. When I look back I realized one extremely
important fact. I always needed someone in my dream corner, the person or people, who believed and supported my vision. We became a team, a dreammachine. It is ideal to have others undersand and support your vision. The dream machine is much more effective if everyone involved in the process supports and is willing to create a common goal. Only with this cohesion can any team reach success for all and people will be willing and ded- icated to the necessary process. Creating a life we love based on our dreams
can be challenging. It asks us to stand up in ways we generally could not have predicted. It may trig- ger insecurity and self doubt.When there are peo- ple or even just one person that believes in us and our dream it gives us the strenght to deal with the challenges we have to face daily. It is their smile, their words of encouragement and the reality check we need that helps us to be the best we can be. Having someone in your corner should push
you to be better, do better, create better and deliv- er better than you dreamed of in the first place. So many dreams sit in a closed vault within
due to fear of failure. Fear within paralyzes and prevents dreams from materializing.We are beings that have an inner calling to search for happiness in our lives. Thismeans different things to each of us. This is the base of our dreams. Happiness, fulfill- ment and joy.
An interesting aspect
of this process is learning more about yourself. Self awareness is a natural bi- product of stepping out of your comfort zone intent on creating something that means so much to you. Creating and building dreams in not an overnight experience – it can be slow to happen and will call on you to be resilient and focused. Most times it does not have an exact end
goal.As you reach one milestone there are many more with shifting sys- tems and realities to face. Make sure you have “your” person or people
in your corner who believe and support your dream, vision and create your own dreamteamthat will take you on a path to
success.See yourself as part of the whole. Think about what the world needs most and use your creativity to benefit your environment and naturally your enviroment will support your dream too. You will expereince the greatest sense of fulfilment in realizing a dream that considers the well-being of all. Dream, visualize, create goals and go make it
happen…. KIM NORMAND, author in her own right
