Fri, 15 December 2006 CONGRATULATIONS! You have the winning lotto ticket worth millions.What exactly do you plan on doing with it? Are you just going to frame it and place it on your wall to look at and think about that great day you won? Are you going to hide it away because fear of someone stealing it is far too great for you to bear? Will you stick it under your pillow and dream about how you are going to spend all that money? All real options for any winner -- I am thinking you are saying: "Are you crazy? I am going to go in and claim my money. That other stuff is stupid." Really? Because we do that to dreams, aspirations, and desires. We don't claim them. Our talents, passions and desires get put into picture frames about the times we did something well. They could be trophies on a shelf gathering dust. They could be recordings on a CD or DVD that never gets played. They come in many forms. We pull them out when the topic comes up and someone says "You did what?" and we boast a little and reflect. Normally the conversation is followed by "Why aren't you doing that now?" Can you answer that? We does fear that our dreams will be taken away, stolen from us, as we succeed or tackle the opposition stop us? Is that real? Can those dreams be taken from us or if we truly desire something, can't we find a way around every hill and obstacle in front of us? If the front door is locked, can't we try the back door? And if the back door is locked, can't we try a window? And if the windows are closed - do you know if there is a chimney? As long as we are actively seeking, won't we see the crack in the wall we can slip through? As long as we keep trying and moving forward, aren't we making headway? What good is lying in bed staring at the ceiling dreaming about something we want to do or become? How does that get us there? It's a start-- we get direction from that, but without taking steps to CLAIM it, it is merely a thought. We will wonder in circles instead of getting to our destination. Remember Moses' journey was 40 years when it should have been days!! Claim what you want! Claim your dreams! Comments[3] |
