I’ve always been an idealist. That’s not to say I don’t see the world realistically, it just means I have big dreams...massive dreams in fact. I’ve always known that the right combination of decisions could lead me to the life I’ve always desired and not only that, shape the entire world around me. I spent a majority of my life until now strategizing about how to bring these dreams to fruition.
No amount of planning and willpower seemed to get me anywhere though, I’ve found myself, more than once, running in circles without any clear idea about how to move forward. I felt as if something was blocking me and over time I realized that I was blocking myself. I’m sure everyone knows that feeling, that if you want it too bad, it doesn’t seem to come. There is a very. This actually makes a lot of sense.
You can only manifest something that you truly believe to be possible.
Not only this, the more consistently you believe it to be possible, the more easily attainable it is. Doubt destroys your dreams, but you can’t always force doubt out of your mind. Your desire and focus on these things will draw them toward you and then just as quickly, your doubt will chase them away. It happens every time, as long as there is doubt.
So give up on your dreams!
I don’t mean you should forfeit them completely. If you do, you will be left feeling dead inside. Just chill out about them. Take the tension off. Recognize them as an ideal and then move your attention towards smaller, more manageable goals. Bring your thoughts back into the present moment.
Your beliefs need to catch up to your desires
There is often too much tension built up around things we desire. We believe our happiness depends on those things and so just as our desire brings us closer, our fear of not having them brings us further away. If something is too difficult to imagine, then don’t try too hard. Treat it as a general direction you’d like to go and accept that you may not actually arrive (don’t decide you won’t arrive, just accept this possibility). Then focus on things that don’t feel so difficult to imagine. Appreciate what you have and take a break from dreaming so big. In time you will find that new possibilities start to show themselves.
What once seemed impossible will eventually start to feel more and more feasible until eventually it feels downright inevitable. Don’t get too excited. Just enjoy that feeling and you’ll continue to find new opportunities open up, even as old ones disappear. Enjoying the journey is more important than reaching the destination, and the funny thing is, when we can constantly realize this, we find ourselves exactly where we want to be.
