Dreaming Your Way to Your Dreams

This doesn't mean sitting around ONLY dreaming of that heart's desire. But one of the most powerful things you can do to go from wishing you were living another life (like writing for a living) to having that life is to cultivate a clear vision of what you wish for in your heart and then hold that vibe as dominant.

It's a little tricky. After all, feeling like a successful writer or owning whatever you feel you must have or achieve when you seem so far away from it can make you feel kind of crazy. That's okay. I'd rather feel crazy and make things happen than live in fear of dreaming big and staying stuck in a life I don't want. Just insist on manifesting it no matter how impossible it may seem in the present.

Step one. Allow yourself to go to that magic dream life and feel the way you'd feel if you had already achieved it. Revisit it as often as you can and take steps towards making it your reality in whatever ways you can. You'll be amazed at how the universe cooperates with that kind of innocence and effort. I've done it many, many times and have not only surprised other people but myself as well.

Just this weekend, I was writing an update on a high profile missing persons case. You may have heard of it. An 18-month year old toddler named Joshua Davis Jr. went missing from his home and he's still missing almost a year later. I interviewed the police but they wouldn't give me the family's contact information. Finally, I found them on Facebook. I finished the story yesterday morning and two hours later I had a phone call from a local TV station. My name is now on the executive editor's desk.

So you never know where your writing is going to lead. All it takes is one or two people to notice and you find yourself with offers on a whole different level. Last night I had a series of fascinating dreams (one of which will go in my next book) but the one I want to share with you is this one.

I dreamed of finding a note left to me by the universe. It read, "Do the business that's in front of you right now and the business you dream of will come to you."
Shades of Jiminy Cricket's song to Pinocchio, "When you wish upon a star..." I loved this as a child and have clung to it all my life.

Now I feel like I've crossed over to being corny but it was on my heart to share this and so I offer it to you with the hope you will find your way out of whatever darkness you find yourself in and live in the light of what you long to achieve.
