Subtle Shifts
Subtle Shifts

I found a great big hunk of gravity right in the middle of my beliefs this week. I had to laugh - even though as I think about it now, it's actually pretty sad.

A new friend asked me about my dreams -for my book, my business, my life. I started to paint my picture, and before I knew it,my friend was asking me about bigger dreams. She stepped in and started expanding on my dreams in ways that I'd forgotten.

That's when it hit me. While I am out talking to clients and readers about ditching their gravity, about how businesses and people can thrive in this new economy - I'veallowed myown dreams to shrink. Oh, I still have dreams -but they are pint-size compared to what they were five years ago.

Wow -I hate it when that happens. I let my own Gravity diminish my dreams. The shift was so subtle I didn't even notice - until my new friend began playing back a bigger set of dreams.

Fiveyears ago,I had big dreams, huge dreams -and I knew they would come true. During the last five years, I've slowly compressed them,limiting myself and my beliefs.

No more! I am back on track, expanding my dreams again and ditching the insidious, sneaky Gravity that put a damper on my future.

What about your dreams? Have you checked them lately?

Here's a simple exercise. If you write a journal -go pull the writing from five years ago and read a bit. Remember those dreams? Reclaim any that you've lost or lessened. If you don't write a journal, just think back to five years ago or three years. What were your dreams? Have they changed? If they've grown smaller - it's time to ditch your gravity. If they've expanded - good for you! Keep soaring!

Dreams

Hold fast to dreams

For if dreams die

Life is a broken-winged bird

That cannot fly.

Hold fast to dreams

For when dreams go

Life is a barren field

Frozen with snow.
