What is your dream in life right now?
When we were children, we all imagined what we would like to be when we grew up: astronaut, scientist, actress, doctor, parent, farmer, beautician, teacher, fireman, etc.
During the course of our childhood, full of play, and our adolescence, full of dreams, we envisaged lots of different roles, and any glamorous position, job or achievement seemed possible and real in our imagination.
But as we grew older we began to lower our sights. Teachers, parents, other adults, perhaps even our friends, advised us (rightly or wrongly) against embarking on certain things. All too often, we ourselves "chose" to listen to other people's unadventurous opinions, and limited our possibilities... to the point of placing rigid restrictions on our lives.
The vast fertile fields which lay before us began to shrink down before our eyes, until our vision of future success was reduced to nothing bigger than a pot of flowers. Suddenly, most of the world seemed inaccessible in our mind.
But the essential point to recognise is of course that the unlimited potential of childhood and the tight constraints of adult life, both originate mainly from our imagination.
If you believe that you can, you no doubt can.
If you believe that you can't, you probably can't.
You need to have faith in your dreams for them to come true. Take my word for it, it won't cost you anything to try and the rewards can be fantastic!
