How To Create The Life Of Your Dreams!

Who doesn’t want to be successful? It is the American way to achieve your dreams and live happily ever after. For some of us success flows from everything we do, while others have to work a little harder and change course from time to time. Regardless of which of these categories you fall into, here are five principles for true success:

 ·  Create Your Vision
 ·  Feel the Outcome Now
 ·  Make Space for Your Dream
 ·  Take Right Action
 ·   Appreciate Signs that Your Dream is on its Way

Create Your Vision

The first step to creating the life of your dreams is to have a clear vision of what that looks like for you. But before you envision your dream life; you need to make sure that you are ready for what you’re putting out to the universe. Be honest with yourself on this one. Perhaps your dream calls for a lot of traveling, and you have a dog at home that you’re not ready to board. Or, maybe you would like to own a successful business, but have no interest in managing other people.

Bottom Line: If you are not 100% ready for what you desire, it will not come.

Once you’ve made sure that you’re not sending out mixed messages, you can proceed with the next step of making space for your dream.

Make Space for Your Dream

In order for something new to come into your life, it needs to have a place to land. This goes for everything, including your thoughts. Human beings think the same thoughts over and over. Your thoughts may or may not support the new life you’re trying to create. An undisciplined mind undermines success like nothing else. A good place to start is to get rid of negative thought patterns and replace them with positive statements that support your dreams. Then you’ll want to look at your physical surroundings. If you have junk lying around, clear it out immediately.

Bottom Line: Get rid of the old to make room for the new.

Once you’ve cleared your head and your house, get comfortable with the emptiness. It’s tempting to fill the new space with anything, just because your used to the clutter. Sit in the openness long enough to allow your dreams to arrive.

Take Right Action

Success requires us to take appropriate action each day. Like building a house one brick at a time, right action moves us steadily toward our destination. How do you know what action to take? Take time each morning to focus on what you want and then decide what steps to take for that day. Keep in mind that having a balance of activity and rest is essential, and a universal principle on which all life is based. Constant action is not required, but right action is.

Bottom Line: Small steps lead to great places.

Follow your instincts on this one. You may feel inspired to email a friend, who happens to refer you to a great contact!

Feeling the Outcome

A vision is like a template, or form that attracts the essence of what you want. The next step is to magnetize the template so that it powerfully attracts your dream. Magnetizing occurs when you feed it attention and energy. You can do this by feeling your dream life as if it is already here.

Bottom Line: If you always chase your dream, it will always be just out of reach.

Don’t chase your dream, live it. Rest in it, and finally celebrate it.

Appreciate Signs that Your Dream is on its Way

Finally, notice all the little signs that indicate that your dream is coming to fruition. Dreams are like soufflés, if you keep checking to see if it is baking, it deflates. The closest we come to seeing our dreams turn to reality are the signs that pop up along the way. Perhaps it’s a supporting email from a mentor, or finding a great deal on a piece of business equipment. These small signs are like the wonderful baking smells that tell you your soufflé is coming along just fine.

Bottom Line: If you keep noticing that nothings happening, nothing will happen.

Celebrate even the smallest victories, knowing that your on the right track and your dream is on its way.
