What's Stopping You From Dreaming Big
What's Stopping You From Dreaming Big
This was taken right around the time that my big dream to move to California was born. This was on a family trip to Disneyland & Universal Studios in California when I was 8 years old. At the time I was reading the Sweet Valley High books - remember those?! - where Jessica and Elizabeth lived in Malibu and drove around in a red convertible Fiat!! "THAT sounds amazing", I thought!!!
And so the dream was formed!
Funny enough my Mom found some of my old journals recently, where I had written down what I wanted to do when I grew up. Helping poor people and owning the Humane Society were written down. I was watching a TON of those commercials where the German Sheppard was basically crying, and they went on to tell us how much he'd been abused:(
I remember thinking that I was going to own all of the dogs in the world and live on a huge fenced in lot by the beach in Malibu, where people would have to be interviewed by me to see if they were fit to own a dog!
Some things never change. You can count on me to always let you know what is fair and what is not. I'm working on that...
What is that dream deep inside of you that's pulling at your heart strings? Read today's article below to learn where I landed on my dreams, what tends to get in the way of people making their dreams come true, and that it's absolutely okay to course correct along the way!
What's Stopping you from Dreaming Big?
See if you can tune into what you were wanting to do when you were little. I had the memory of California and the humane society, but I didn't realize I had also said that I wanted to help poor people! I remember saying in grade 6 (so age 11ish), that I wanted to either be a lawyer or a model, but not that part.
Well I definitely believe I'm doing my part to help poor people - I'm going to reframe that into helping people live abundant lives! - but the latter - the dog part - came about in a really interesting way!
And no, I don't own the humane society or all of the dogs in the world!
BUT I did work with a client once who is a K9 trainer who helps medics around the world care for the dogs who are on the job. Think guys jumping out of helicopters and landing on jet skis - she helps those types of handlers! Her training has helped to save countless animals, and as we worked on growing her business she was able to help even more dogs and people. When I was working with her awhile back, the realization set in that I was actually helping to make a difference in dogs' lives. It was a cool realization.
Throughout my childhood, whenever I felt "sad" I would think of going "home", which to me was palm trees, sunshine and the ocean. I'm not sure where this came from, but it was there. Like a knowing.
And being able to manifest something like that - that was such a big dream for me - has truly become my purpose - showing others we absolutely can be, do and have anything in life! We truly are limitless!
So what gets in the way?
Well a couple of things.
I do remember dating someone once and I shared with his parents that I wanted to help animals. I was pretty much shamed because they said there were so many people to help and why would I help animals instead?
Hmmm...
Insert doubt. I pretty much felt like a bad person for wanting to do that.
How often do we listen to other people and then talk ourselves right out of something as a result?
Don't get me wrong, feedback and validation are important, but not when it works against our dreams! Not when it talks us out of going after what lies in our hearts.
Our desires are given to us for a reason. It's how we know what our purpose is.
Most people spend tons of time and money trying to figure out their purpose, but we already have the answer inside of us if we would listen. It's our heart's desires, it's what makes us happy and what brings us joy. All we need to do is follow that and let it the rest unfold.
Which brings me to another reason people don't follow their dreams. They can't see "how" their dreams will happen and so they give up. This is one of the biggest areas to let go of in order to use the law of attraction to manifest our dreams and desires. It's not up to us! Look at the K9 medic story! I never could have dreamt that up in a million years!
Which leads me to it being okay to course correct. Our childhood and adulthood desires might look a little different, and that's okay.
I remember a friend saying to me once that I didn't actually make it to Malibu, but I was close! At least that's how I heard her say it anyway.
If we're being that knit picky we've lost sight of the whole thing. The dream was palm trees and the ocean in California, to which I achieved. I consciously chose which area I wanted to be in after living in California for 4 years. We visited San Diego a few times and absolutely loved it and the more laid-back lifestyle. It's what worked for us (insert also thinking about husbands and kids too - which I definitely didn't have at 8 years old;-)
It's absolutely okay to course correct and adapt your dreams as you go. I never would have thought I would be paid to be a speaker or start a second business in real estate investing when I first started my entrepreneurial efforts!
If we're shown the entire picture all at once it would be wayyy too overwhelming to bring to fruition anyway. But if we keep saying yes, one step at a time, to what brings us joy and what we're interested in, we will always be on track with creating a happy and purposeful life!
We just have to go for it!
xoxo
P.S. I don't know about you, but I have been so tired these last few days. I think something to do with a full moon?? Anyway, as I was sitting down to write this article it felt like pulling teeth. I didn't know how I was going to do it. But as I got started, I was reenergized writing about this topic. I got so excited writing about manifesting our dreams that I got a total energy burst! Another sure sign that we're on track with doing what we love ?

One Decision to Make Change Exciting
One Decision to Make Change Exciting
Imagine you're in a comfortable groove playing nice in the sandbox... and then everything changes.? Change is inevitable.? Things are always changing and we get off balance.
In my upcoming book, Workplace Sandbox Strategies, Resolving Conflict from the Inside Out, I draw attention to the parallels of business and our youthful years in sandbox play. Do you recall the intrigue that we felt for continuously building because when we play with sand, we accept impermanence. Everything was always changing, and even today, nothing is ever set in sand.
When we're squeezed out of our comfort zone, into the unknown, we feel fear and frustration, and we begin to pass judgement.? But... what if we could decide to change those feelings into something more productive and peaceful.
Fear ⇒ Excitement?
Frustration ⇒ Courage?
Judgement ⇒ Curiosity?
As I work with different people and organizations, I notice that some people have decided to be excited, courageous and curious about the potential that this CoVid pandemic will provide, and others have decided to be stuck in fear and frustration. Either way is not right or wrong... it just is what it is.
Each has been given the same set of circumstances, and the same options to decide from.???
- If you could choose between fear and excitement, which would you choose? And why??
- If you could choose between frustration and courage, which would you rather? And why??
- If you could choose between judgement and curiosity, which would you prefer? And why??
If you're standing in excitement, courage and curiosity, congratulations.? You're very proactive and influential, and your team needs you.? The greatest leaders can't lead without the commitment of those who follow.? Great decision! But it's not easy.? Your influential muscles area getting a workout and becoming stronger.? The world needs more people who think like you.???
If you're standing in fear and frustration, know that you're in charge, this is your sandbox and you get to shift the grains of sand however you decide.? Either decision will cost you energy and effort, the real question becomes, what outcome do you want????
If you're leading a change, empathize with how people are thinking and feeling about the change, and how you might change their emotional response to one of excitement, courage and curiosity.? A first step would be to acknowledge what has been lost.? Don't miss this step.? The greatest need of the human spirit is the need to FEEL understood, so that empathy is very critical, and very valuable.?
Embrace change because the high cost of fear is avoidable, and profits can be used for better things.

Is There Any Such Thing As Perfect Timing?
Is There Any Such Thing As Perfect Timing?
Today I'm musing about timing. I've been having things come into form that have taken ten years to manifest. My first book, originally written in April of 1996, was self published in 2006. I'm getting a handle on money issues that have been around at least that long, if not longer. I'm in a relationship that's everything I've always wanted - and have been consciously praying for and energetically working on manifesting since the early 80's.
Then I think about manifestations from my earlier years - my two kids were planned pregnancies that occurred without effort, with quick births, yet they had their own timing for being born.
Why do some things happen quickly and some things take forever to show up?
When I was a teenager I lost 50 pounds, simply by charting what I ate, limiting calories, and walking to school and back every day (about 5 or 6 miles). It took most of a year to do this, and was tremendously transformative and empowering.
Buoyed by this experience, I set my sights on a relationship, which took about five months to get the guy to go out with me. It was initially wonderful but then heart breaking.
As I look back over my different life experiences, some consciously manifested, some unconsciously attracted, and there has been a sense of what I used to call Divine Timing in all of it.
"The Universe gives you what you can handle" is one way I used to look at it. You attract what you're ready for, is another way. I've resisted what I thought the Universe was giving me; at times I'd say "it thinks I'm too friggin' capable".
But now I have a different perspective as Consciousness, reframing my experience of timing, and also of manifestation.
It's not the Universe giving me anything, it's me as Consciousness creating everything I experience in the physical.
Someone once mentioned that reincarnation didn't make any sense to them because everything was happening at once. I got the instant understanding that there is no time or space as Consciousness, so from the perspective of Consciousness, all past and future lives are happening 'at the same time' this one is. There is no linear link from past to future, it's not like going up grades in school. And if you can grasp that in Consciousness there is no individuality, then there's really no one spark of light going through a series of experiences (like grades in school). As aspects of Consciousness we just jump into the pool of life, splash about, and then jump out into the All-That-Is.
As I reconcile it taking me so long to get to where I am at, I realize that it really took no time at all. Each lifetime is just a blink of an eye. And what I've accomplished in this one is just a glimmer of the great Spark of all of creation.
As I relax into a perspective of creating as Consciousness, it really doesn't matter how much or how little I have achieved. It's all about Creation. It's all about playfully creating in the physical. I either manifest something, or I don't. It either happens now, or later, or not. I create this, or I create something else. And I can choose to create happy thoughts, happy experiences, or challenging ones.
When I shift to navigating life as Consciousness, what shows up is bigger than my little mind can imagine.
And when you add the awareness of Parallel Universes into the mix, you realize that you as Consciousness are simultaneously experiencing other possibilities within this storyline. There's a parallel self that has experienced success earlier in life, there's a parallel self that is already experiencing whatever I want to create right now.
Whatever you want to create, it already exists, you just need to step into the Universe where you already have it.
It becomes a much more fun way to experience life. And I can welcome all these wonderful things coming into my life and enjoy my time with them Now. Which is really the only time there is.
