Deep within your soul, you have huge dreams. We all do.
Before
reading on, let your heart briefly summarize your biggest life dream.
What, in a nutshell, is your life purpose?
Our
dreams often seem so fragile and so far from possibility that our hearts
despair – or give up. So it’s literally a dream-saving, heart-saving, &
life-saving question to ask:
What
love skills keep your dreams alive?
The
first love skill is to allow your heart to dream.
Perhaps
your inner core has been beaten back or is afraid to come out of hiding.
Or perhaps you think your dream is so big that sharing it might cause
others to laugh. Transcend such thinking to a higher platform. Your life
dreams are vital to the unfolding of the universe. Get it touch with
destiny as you bring focus to your life mission. Think big and outside of
time. What is your highest calling?
The
second love skill for keeping your dream alive is to cherish your dreams.
How often do you remember, review, or state your dreams – even to
yourself? Without cherishing, our dreams remain invisible like a bulb
beneath the soil that has not yet expanded into growth.
Cherishing our dreams means we encourage them, just like we water a plant
that is seeking to grow. Give meditation time to your dreams. Give wings
to your dreams in a journal. Hold the space in your heart for your dreams
to come true. Become a dream-cherisher to others. You’ll be surprised how
rapidly their dreams come to the surface in an environment of cherishing.
Dreams cannot resist love. Find dream buddies. Cherishing of others’
dreams will be music to your own.
A third
love skill for keeping your dream alive is to act on your dreams. Step
outside the walls of time-centered, laundry-list thinking. Give your
dreams a 15-minute window of opportunity. There are an infinite number of
steps you can take – however small. For example, we began this article by
opening a new document and creating the title “Keeping Your Dreams Alive.”
That took less than a minute, but it began an energy flow. And now, here
you are with us, learning to love yourself even more with a new
dream-buddy.
Still
another love skill for keeping your dream alive is resilience. Life has a
way of shutting us down. Often it’s something someone says, intentional or
not. Become an expert at resilience – bouncing back into your destiny
space. This takes forgiveness, wisdom, letting go, and lots of inner love
talk. But what a higher & more satisfying way to live!
The last
– vital – love skill for keeping your dream alive is to love
yourself deeply as your
dreams are unfolding. Let go of scorecard-outcome-thinking and judging
yourself. Move into process-living. For example, what good is a dream of
bringing more love to the planet if we are angry at ourselves during the
process? Practice relaxing into the flowering of your dream. Love each
tiny unfolding.
Remember, your life purpose is unique. You alone were destined to bring
forward your highest dream. No one else can substitute for you. We are
holding the space for your biggest, most noble dreams to come to fruition
– and flow into being with joy. Welcome to the heart of Love!
