The future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams” is a famous quote by Eleanor Roosevelt.  I have talked about the fact that we seem to dream less as adults than we did as when we were children.  My belief is that dreaming does not have an expiration date, it is something that should continually happen.  Whether one has big dreams or little one's, it is important to keep thinking about the "what if's" in life.  In order for any dream to be able to manifest itself in your life, one has to give the opportunity for this to occur.  I was thinking about all of this when I was having a conversation with someone the other day and that person was telling me about how they thought a relative of theirs would react negatively to a suggestion they had.  I stopped the person as soon as they began to intimate that this could never work.  I had to point out to that person that a self fulfilling prophecy can be in the making.  There is a direct correlation to giving power to a negative vision as the possibility of that occurring can then be reinforced with how you think about things.  I had to go back to this individual and make them ask themselves, "what if....things worked out they way you planned them?"  They stopped for a moment and I could tell that the possibility of having a positive outcome had never crossed their mind.  If we were to never think about the right possibilities in our lives, we would be living a stagnant existence.  Rather than speak out loud about what cannot be, I think one should speak possibility as much as possible.  I am sure if you were to ask any famous entrepreneur about how they were able to be successful in their business ventures, they could all point to what was once a dream.  A great idea, a life shift or a personal reinvention can all be within reach, if you first dream out loud about it first.  Think about the possibilities that can occur if you were to give positive energy the thoughts that you have in your mind about what you want to accomplish.  We all have this innate ability to succeed and overcome, because we all have human will.  All we have to do is align what it is that we want, via a simple and direct plan.  Then you nurture that seed that you planted inside by watering it daily with your own positive thoughts, as you see yourself in the future succeeding at what you wanted to achieve.  Never let anyone diminish your dreams and if you have those people around you, filter them out.  The more power that you have over your own thoughts and what you want out of your life, the more you will be able to accomplish.  Remember to keep dreaming in all shapes and sizes and never stop reaching for the stars.  With continued persistence, you will find that soon enough the stars will all be within your reach.
