What does it mean to believe in your dream

Believe in your dreams. They were given to you for a reason – Katrina Mayer

Dreams are Realities unrealised!

Many of us, we have loads of dreams…but only a handful of us realise them…Why?

Because of the outer voices that derail us, making us fall in the belief that our dreams are impossible to realise, either because they are too ambitious or because WE are not good enough the turn them into reality.

The power of visualization is AMAZING, MAGICAL and POWERFUL! WE have the capacity to ‘SEE’ things that is not yet true, TRUE in our MIND – in fact this is how it is – every thing that has been ‘created’ or I should say ‘invented was created twice, once in the MIND and then in reality. The mind of the human being is the factory of imagination – WE IMAGINE TOMORROW and the FUTURE! That’s the power of the MIND!

Our dreams are magic, and if respected, nurtured and honored, they ultimately bring an abundance of meaning and purpose to our lives. Dreams guide us as we reach for the stars, follow our heart's desire and do the things we are passionate about. Dreams help weave the fabric of who we are, and they reveal what matters most to us. They allow our spirits to shine, and they reflect our uniqueness and authenticity.

Even when we hear the call to put our dreams aside, louder, clearer and more powerful voices remind and connect us to the truth, beauty and wealth of our dreams. These voices are our own, coming from our subconscious mind, reminding us most of the time of WHO WE ARE!

SO, you see, we can DREAM any DREAM, as BIG as can possibly be imagined by the MIND, BUT this is where OUR mental strength and toughness is put at test. Will we persevere AND believe in our dreams or are we going to simply put it aside as the outer voices are shouting us to do?

“Seeing” it is not enough - you have to Believe!

Seeing is Believing!

You may have heard this saying – Seeing is Believing, but what you see is not always true!

So, what is a Belief?

Your belief system is NOT necessarily correct or accurate. Interestingly, not only are you driven by your beliefs, but you will also unconsciously look for evidence, or other experiences that will confirm and reinforce your beliefs as you don’t want to be wrong. Your beliefs are often your perception of the way things are and what you believe to be true. But this does not mean that your belief is actually true!

Tao de Haas, in his article ‘about my brain’ says:

In other words, when you believe something to be true you will rarely question or think about the validity of that belief.

You form your beliefs from a very early age. These beliefs are based on your environment; what you were told, what you heard as well as what you observed and experienced. Your beliefs are also the conclusions you draw from these experienced. You form beliefs about yourself, about others and the world around you.

People hang onto their beliefs even if they are limiting or fly in the face of evidence to the contrary. This is why it is so hard to logically reason with those who hold strong beliefs based on a ‘feeling of knowing’ rather than evidenced based logic and scientific proof.

On some level, people might know their beliefs do not make sense and are contrary to all evidence, but as the latest research in neuroscience tells us, beliefs that are not consciously and deliberately challenged will always win out over evidenced based logic and reality.

You create your beliefs consciously as well as unconsciously and you hold them dear. You will also try to reinforce your beliefs constantly (unconsciously and consciously). Why? Your beliefs fulfil part of your safety needs. Your brain needs to have beliefs in order to feel safe. You have created a whole system of beliefs that have formed your map of your inner and outer world. Without your map you are likely to feel lost.

This map is called your belief system, a system that guides you in your everyday functioning. As Johann Wolfgang van Goethe said ‘Man is made by his belief. As he believes, so he is’. You don’t want to contradict yourself or prove yourself wrong. Why would you want to admit you are using the wrong map? So you will defend your map of both your inner and outer world.

So, are Beliefs a help or a hindrance?

Your belief system (your map) is often strongly influenced by other people’s opinions and prejudices. The formation of your map was more than likely unconscious and without deliberation. So what if your map is sending you in the wrong direction or a direction that you don’t really want to go? Or your map doesn’t align with your needs, values and desires?

That is why it is of utmost importance that you challenge and update your beliefs often to ensure your map supports and guides you in the direction you want to go. Re-examining and reinterpreting the experiences that created your belief system, especially negative ones, is essential if you want to change your beliefs.

E8 – Fanning the Flames of Desire

Fan the flames of Desire to glow as bright as the sun – Mahima Pareek

Wishing will not bring you riches, But DESIRING riches with a state of mind that becomes an obsession, then planning definite ways and means to acquire riches, and backing those plans with persistence which does not recognize failure, will bring riches.

In the book ‘Think & Grow Rich’, Napoleon Hill gives us 6 steps using which your DESIRE for riches can be transmuted into its financial equivalent:

E7 Understanding Desire

Desire knows no boundary. It is simply the very nature of the Universe itself. Desire is the very root of the Universe. Darcy Lyon

Galen Guengerich Ph.D., in his article ‘The Four Stages of Desire: From Everything to One Thing’ in Psychology today wrote about why we should stop wanting everything and focus on what matters most.

As a culture, we’ve had ambivalent feelings about feelings of desire from the very beginning. The Christian tradition generally takes a dim view of desire, mainly because it tends to focus on the ephemeral satisfactions of this world—variously termed the lust of the flesh or the pride of the eye—rather than the eternal rewards of the next world. Western philosophers, on the other hand, have generally viewed desire as fundamental to human life. To be human is to desire what we do not have.

Desire motivates us in many important ways: physical desire, for example, is called hunger or thirst; intellectual desire is called curiosity; sexual desire is called lust; economic desire is called consumer demand. Remove these expressions of desire, and human life as we know it would cease to exist. Our culture in general and our economy in particular are built on our desire for things and experiences we do not have.

The 15th-century Indian mystic Kabir, a poet and philosopher, who today is revered by both Hindus and Muslims, argued that desire constitutes the true wealth of humanity. One of the leading 20th-century interpreters of Kabir was a spiritual teacher named Eknath Easwaran, who once explained in a videotaped lesson that Kabir views desire as having four stages.

The vast majority of people, Kabir says, are born with countless desires—too many desires to pursue any one of them with conviction or dedication. Most concern the superficial aspects of life, such as personal appearance or personal possessions. People who have many desires are the poorest of people, Kabir says, and they seldom achieve any success in any field. Their lives are also the saddest, because they are the most superficial, dominated by too many desires that matter too little.

There are other people, Kabir goes on to say, who are born with some desires, and these are usually people who lead what are considered successful lives. No matter what field of endeavor they choose, they manage to accomplish at least modest goals, because they are able to focus on only some desires.

A fortunate few individuals, however, have only a few desires. Out of these come the geniuses: great scientists like Madame Curie and Albert Einstein, great musicians and poets, great humanitarians and political leaders. These individuals have very few desires, and thus they will make their mark in whatever fields they commit themselves to.

Finally, a few rare individuals have only one desire. These are the great mystics—spiritual leaders who often practice meditation, which is a demanding discipline designed to reduce one's number of desires. Over time, says Kabir, meditation can reduce a person’s desires from countless to many; then from many to some; from some to a few; and from a few to only one. As the number of desires becomes fewer, the desires themselves become less superficial and more profound.

E6 Depth of Desire?

The Size of your Success depends on the Depth of Your Desire - Anonymous

What is Depth?

So what is “depth”? How do we define it, and most importantly, how can we create more of it? What does it mean to go deep in an area of your life – and what are some of the things that prevent us from experiencing it?

Just imagine what life would look like if you go deep in the areas that were most important to you? To do this, you need to define what depth meant to you. Let’s look at the DEPTH model on the D.E.P.T.H. model. Here are the five areas that impact how deep we go in any area of our lives: Desire, Energy, Purpose, Targeting, and Habits. Let’s dig in a little deeper…

Desire

Getting clear on what we want requires answering some basic questions… If you were to envision living life on your terms, what would that look like? Even more important, what would it feel like? What kind of lifestyle are you trying to create for yourself and your family? What are your goals and aspirations in life?

Energy

Ask yourself… What actions are you willing to take to get what you desire? What activities will you invest energy into? Where should you be spending your time? What should you be doing, and where should you be applying force to create movement?

Our desires have no value unless we are willing to put energy and effort into working toward those wants. Without that, they’re just wishes. Answering these questions will help you lock in on where you should spend your energy.

Purpose

Ask yourself these questions… What gets you out of bed in the morning? What are your core values – the things that are non-negotiable in your life? If you have a personal mission statement, what have you identified as your motivations? What drives your decision-making, and how do you want to be remembered when you’re gone? When you attach the answers to these questions to your desires and energy, you’ve created a strong foundation for depth in your life.

Targeting

E5 What is Desire?

People have many needs and wants, and many times, they just don’t get most of them. Why? People are busy working for the physiological needs to survive, and they are mostly struggling to get access to these needs. And then, people have many wants, needs that are not instrumental to survival, but people want in order to feel happy, elated, different, bossy, etc etc. In order to get access to your wants, most of the time you need money for that, thus in most cases where people don’t have the money, they don’t get these wants.

So, what is DESIRE then?

Desire is that WANT that you have that you are READY to do anything to acquire, It is not a wish, not a hope, it is a burning, dominating pulsating want! It is something that you ‘see’ all the time, something you wake up with, you go through the day with, you go to bed with….

What you need to know

First, have a vivid, burning desire to accomplish a clear cut, definite purpose. In addition, you must couple that desire with total determination to achieve it. Finally, only then do you have the fuel required to drive you to take the required action.

Know what you want. Have a plan to get it. Be open minded. Have the flexibility to modify your plan or adopt a new one if the old plan isn’t working. Believe in and have faith that Infinite intelligence will assist you. Ask for guidance. Continue to do so until such time as you find a plan that does work!

What you need to do

Definiteness of purpose

Exercise – Create a visual image of what your life will be like when you are in possession of what you desire. Design and make a “vision board” with pictures of the things you will have when you are living the life of your dreams. Place your vision board where you will see it most frequently.

What is Success and Why are we all after it?

So, why is success important to human beings?

What success is all about?

In one of his blogs, Grant Cardone, Forbes Top 10 Most Influentials CEO's, said:

The last couple of years of economic turmoil should have made it obvious that we all underestimated how much success is needed and how valuable it actually is to our survival and well-being.

How do we get success?

Success is a mindset!

If there is no such thing as success, then there is no such thing as DESIRE, and if there is no desire, the entire world revolves about comfort and conformity, and it does not lead us anywhere.

Success is vital for survival and beyond!

TO achieve success in life, we need to:

E1 What is mindset?

Why do we need to understand what is mindset?

The dictionary defines Mindset as a mental attitude or inclination. I love this word ‘attitude’. It tells us all about the kind of mindset we ‘decide’ to have when we rise up early in the morning or when we go to bed at night and all throughout our day. You may wonder, I said ‘decide’! Yes, decide, because this is something we decide even when we think we did not! Because even not deciding is a decision! When we let our mind wander, we LET our mind wander, that is we have decided to let our mind wander – something we can control, as we can also NOT LET our mind wander, we can decide to FOCUS our mind on the things that matter to us, like positivity, belief, faith, patience, perseverance, happiness, joy, living, growing, achieving, succeeding, etc etc etc But I agree, this is NOT easy. IT is not easy to have a positive mindset – it takes WORK! (483 words)

What you need to know

Which simply says that you can SET your mind to work for you…or against you!

Carol S. Dweck, in her book “MINDSET” talks about the two mindsets: (1) the fixed mindset and (2) the growth mindset.
