| Dream become Goal How |
It is brilliant to have a dream. It may even be brilliant to have a aim. True, there is a school of thought that maintains they ought to not require goals. They looked at this view a few months ago. My own perception of this viewpoint is that it applies to those goal-lists that time management folks advocate. They can be useful, or a burden, depending on where you are in your personal growth. Today, though, I am taking a look at something different.
Now me taking a look at the difference between having a dream and having a aim.
A dream is a aim without legs. It is a brilliant thing to have, can be the guiding passion of your life, but unless you clarify it and give it the legs to move toward you, getting there is going to be much a matter of luck.
*It clarifies what you require to the point that you will always be attuned to anything that is relevant. Opportunities won't pass you by unnoticed.
To transform a dream in to a reachable aim you must clarify it, provide the details, make it so clear that you can see it, feel it, know what you will feel like when you get there. This works for you in lots of ways.
*It makes false detours and dead ends less likely to distract you.
*It shows you what you require to do to get there, step by action step.
*And perhaps the images you carryover in your mind and heart will echo out to the universe for manifestation.
The clearer and more vivid the picture, the more likely are all of these things to happen.
As an illustration, I will use a dream anyone might have regarding a career, but the principle remains the same regardless of the nature of your dream.
Let's suppose that you yearn to work outside and close to nature. Anyone asks you to tell them more, but you cannot. You don't know. All you know is that you require to work outside and close to nature. This is a dream. Why is it not a aim? Because it is not specific. That description could fit lots of occupations, including park ranger, beach bum, safari tour guide, farmer, landscape gardener, migrant worker, beekeeper or lots of more.
There is a saying, "be cautious what you pray for, because you will certainly get it, but not necessarily in the form, and at the time, that you expected." This is applicable when your thoughts are not specific. Imagine putting out a prayer and a require to the universe that you discover a job that involves being in the outside and close to nature, and having your prayer answered by falling in to a job as a beekeeper. when you are truly terrified of insects!
This is not bad luck, it is bad management. Bad management of your own desires and intentions. Both your own unconscious and the universe require clear direction before they can start to manifest a path, not to mention get results. In case you are to harness your own energy and that of the universe so as to bring your dream in to reality, you require first to generate it in imagination.
All right, let's start again. You require a job working in the outside and close to nature. Buy yourself of the lots of books on the subject of career choice that will help you to clarify. Ask yourself those annoying questions that any career counselor would ask you.
What kind of work would you like to be doing? Do you like people? Do you like animals? What kind of animals? (There is a huge difference between working with a friendly kitty-cat and working with huge wild animals who would prefer that you not be sharing their space.) Do you enjoy structure or freedom? And be cautious of this, because all of us think they wish freedom until they find ourselves working alone and without guidelines or supervision. For some people this works fine, for others it is far more threatening than they had realized.
For every picture that comes to you, follow it, ask yourself the way it fits, the way you will work with it, and what comes next, until your dream is as vivid and enthralling as a star film. Know in your heart that this is what you require to be doing along with your life, that it is a job you will enjoy a lot that you'd love to do it even in case you didn't must earn a living. Then put THAT picture out there for manifestation. This time there will be no mistakes.
When I write "Put it out there for manifestation" I am not saying that you then sit back and wait. of my mother's sayings is "Pray as if it all depends on God, and then work as if it all depends on you." It is lovely advice. But now, along with your mental picture in place, you know what it is that you are working toward.
What you DON'T require to put out to the universe is exactly how this manifestation has to happen. In case you do, then you are limiting the way in which you and your aim can come together. In truth there's more paths to your aim than you can imagine. It is fine to choose that you will work on, with a couple of fall-backs in case of obstacles, but be cautious to stay clear that these are not the only options. Whatever it is that you seek, it may be manifested in ways beyond your wildest dreams. |
