Today's
Meditation:
Your
dreams are your own, and they always will be. Your
dreams are that part of yourself that allows you to look
to the future with hope, that allows you to see the
possibilities and potential of this beautiful world we
live in, rather than the limitations and impossibilities.
Our
dreams are renewable if we nurture them. We must
respect our dreams and allow them their own space to grow
if they're going to be of any benefit to us. When we
respect them and try to live by them, they can lead us
into new pastures and new situations; they can open up new
pages in the books of our lives and help us to grow wings
with which we can soar through the beautiful, rich blue
sky.
We'll
never know our true potential if we don't allow ourselves
to dream of destinations that are further along than we
currently travel. We'll never witness the beauty
that may come into our lives if we never permit our dreams
to be a guiding force for our mental and physical and
emotional energy.
Nurturing
our dreams does not mean leaving behind all we have
currently; it doesn't always mean complete change in our
lives. Sometimes it does, though--my wife and I
dreamed of buying a motor home and living at the Grand
Canyon for a year, and we allowed that dream to drive our
actions, and now here we are, living in one of the most
beautiful places on the planet and loving every minute of
it. Much has changed in our lives, but the dream we
shared and went after has caused many, many positive
changes in our lives.
You
have your dreams. Love them, allow them to grow, and
do what you can to make them come true. Our dreams
are given to us for a reason, and that reason is not to
keep us frustrated about their lack of fulfillment.
