Dont Let Go Of Your Dreams
Don't let go of your dreams. If you have determination and belief in your dreams, you will succeed in spite of your desire to let go. One notable person who demonstrated this attitude was Washington Roebling. He and his father had a dream of building a suspension bridge. Not long after starting construction, his father died. Washington carried on but was struck with the paralyzing caisson disease. It was impossible for him to go to the site. But possessed with a dream, a strong desire, and with the help of his wife, Emily, he was able to complete the Brooklyn Bridge. This story has many themes in it: determination; your dreams; and choice. Here was a man who suffered the death of his father and became paralyzed, yet, because he was determined he did not give up on his dreams! In every situation we have a choice. We can either choose the negative or we can choose the positive --- the choice is ours. In Washington's situation he could have felt sorry for himself and gave up on his project. He chose, however, to continue with the help of others. In situations you are confronted with which do you choose. . .

Look Where Youre Going - And Keep An Eye On The Blind Spots!
I recently had the pleasure of motorcycle riding instruction from a friend, Tony, a professional racer.

I had always assumed that this is what I did, but I found out that there is a big difference between "watching" and "looking" where you're going.

Make Your Dreams Reachable
All too often, we may be envisioning a level of success, which is far beyond what we can realistically accept and thus fall short of full manifestation. However, if we can envision a period of time in which our success can gradually increase, quite often our subconscious can more easily accept it. However, allowing ourselves to get comfortably accustomed to a steadily increasing flow of abundance in our lives tends to stabilize it for us.
