What Lies Within

A fan and I at PinkSoles fundraiser, 2012. Finding our inner woman!

Everything begins with a thought. Whether inspired by a succession of events, smelling jasmine on the breeze, being embraced by a friend, listening to our favorite song over and over again, or the smile of a passing stranger; everything begins with a thought.

Our thoughts can become dreams, our aspirations. We fantasize about them being real and place ourselves in hypothetical circumstances where we actually accomplish these dreams. It feels good, but it is nostalgic. It feels almost real in the forefront of our minds, but distant in the future. What is miraculous about this is that the future becomes the present in the matter of a second.

At any moment of any day, we can begin to manifest our dreams into a reality. It takes hard work, and hope and belief that we can actually accomplish these aspirations. Day in and day out, fighting the good fight to follow our dreams makes us strong and well-versed.

In the exact moment we choose to act, our effort begins the realization of our dreams. It is hard to see this right away, but over time we can. It’s like a dot painting. When you are very close to it, you cannot really see the grand scheme. But when you step back and look at it from afar, putting all the little dots in a visual order, you can see the whole picture for the beauty that it is.

Before we know it, all our hard work and effort done in the present become the past, and we are suddenly living in the reality of the future we envisioned.

What are you manifesting? Share your story about that with me here in my Fan Corner.
