THE DREAMER AND DREAMS

I don't mean the kind of dreams you see at night while you are fast asleep. Here I am talking about real dreams. Those visions you held close to your heart and wanted to see them come true some day. Something you want to do, want to achieve, want to accomplish. How many of those dreams have you made sure came true? If you are still waiting for some of them to come true, what are you doing about it? Have you made a plan or have you embarked on a mission or a journey to make your dream come true?. Have you sought ideas, help, advice or support? Are you working on it sincerely or is it just a dream you see in your mind's eye while you laze around. Do you sometimes feel it's not worth the effort or it would be too much a task, or what's the point or the dream is too far fetched?

Some people love the dream but it's overwhelming or scary to think of the effort or process or length of time it would take to see it come true. What feelings do your nuture when you think of your dreams?. If you want to see your dream come true, you have to have this great desire of wanting it to see it accomplished. Next, you need to do everything necessary to follow the path that will lead you to realize your goals. That includes self motivation, effort and seeking information, assistance, improvising your skills, doing all that it would take and a never give up attitude. Nothing comes easy, you might face set backs, trials and challanges on your path leading to your dream. You don't have to be afraid of all that.  It's all a part of grand human experience. If you look into the lives of people who have realized their dreams, there is a common factor, they were not afraid to cross the hurdles, they were incessant in their endeavours. They accepted challenges. With every small success, they knew they can make it to next stage and the next. If you don't give up, believe in yourself, and keep working on your dream, you will find it very surprising to know that doorways and avenues would open up, circumstances and situations will arise that will turn out favourable to make your dreams come true. Experience the creativity, power and excitement as you follow your dream.

As author Paolo Coelho put it, "When you want something, all the universe conspires in helping you to achieve it". Remember, it does not happen all by itself, it depends on the sincerety and depth of your dream and your ceaseless work towards it.

THE SECRET OF POSITIVITY

Each and every one of us desire to lead a meaningful life. With all the pressures of life these days, it is easy for us to carry a negative attitude most the day or most of the time. Actually, what many of us do not realize is that we have the power and choice to live a more positive life. It is also true that not everyone accepts or believes in positive thinking. Some think it's utter 'nonsense' or some sort of psycho-babble. Among those who believe, also know how to harness it effectively to get results. Let us explore what is positivity and why should we be positive.

Positive Mindset….what is it? Positive thinking is a certain mental attitude. It is state of mind where you have faith and belief and expect and trust that everything will always work out perhaps not exactly how we want it …but it surely will work out for our good. With a positive mindset, we are inclined to find answers to difficult problems and challenges. Positive mindset helps us to anticipate happiness, enjoy good health, success and a favourable outcome in difficult situations. And the amazing truth is, whatever the mind expects, it finds. Since we consciously think good and expect good, our mind and the subconscious finds a way to make them happen, as we send these positive vibrations into the universe which are reflected back into our lives. Do I sound a bit like Paolo Coelho in his book ‘The Alchemist’.? Oh I just love that book. Those who haven't read it, do read it.

Surrounding Ourselves with Positivity: People with Positive mindset are optimistic and happier with strong self esteem. They cope quite well in stressful situations and are therefore healthier too. Whereas those who are negative are prone to anger, depression, irritation, anxiety, unhappiness and low self esteem that takes a toll on the person’s health and productivity and strains his relationships with people around him. A negative mindset attracts more negativity! Positive people have a greater capacity for love, joy, peace, kindness and warmth that brings happiness into their lives and everyone else around them.

From Negative to Positive Negative people can certainly change their attitude and turn positive. They need to become concious of their thought patterns and deliberately switch to a positive mindset. After all,  in what way has negative self talk or attitude served any good? Has it ever brought any comfort or solution? Well, the answer has to be 'No'. If you struggle with negative thought patterns, it's time to start reprogramming your thinking. Conciously think positive thoughts  and surround yourself with positive people. Change your life by thinking positive. The rewards are definitely worth it.

WHAT I REALLY CHANGED ABOUT MY LIFE

Tony Robbins

When people ask me, what I really changed about my life, I tell them that the most important thing was changing what I demanded of myself.

I wrote down -
*All the things  I would no longer accept in my life,
*All the things I would no longer tolerate, and
*All the things that I aspired to becoming

- Tony Robbins, Self Help Author and Success Coach
