What if you could do more than you believe you are capable of? You can, if you start with believing that you can. I know this sounds simplistic, but it is. It is simple, although not easy. If you think about it, all inventions that at one time were believed to be impossible, were made possible because of someone’s thinking and belief that it could be. As a child, I remember watching the cartoon, the Jetsons, the family of the future. They had all kinds of machines that could do things that appeared incredible at the time. The one that most excited my friends and me was the picture telephone. To us (and I’m revealing my age here), picture telephones were something that seemed impossible. Now, being able to video chat is something that my daughter and her contemporaries completely take for granted.
What happens when you start to consider that the impossible is possible? One of the things I love about my coaching work is to see what happens to one of my clients when it first occurs to them that they could do something that had always appeared impossible to them. I can see their mind expand and begin to think of steps they could take that can move them towards what had previously been merely Quixotic, impossible dreams.
What might you do if you believed it were possible? What if you expanded your dreams to fit your capacity?
Dreams are like ladders: they help us in keeping our wishes and intents in focus […keeping the direction of our lives aligned]. They also remind us that we cannot can reach a position in life that is higher than our dreams. How then can we live without dreams in our lives?
May 2011 bring you a minimum of 2011 special blessings. Love, joy and peace to you Deb and our fellow bloggers!
Anthony,
Well said!
Love, joy, and peace to you, too.
Deb
Dreams as ladders? I never thought that before. I may build on that idea.
Someone once even went so far as to say Dreams Are the Goals. Since, I am that someone, I will add that – your Post captures that idea completely. You have asked us to take on the idea of having huge dreams e.g., make it your goal this year to dream bigger. And when you add the unwavering belief – the dream is undeniable. When I set the goal last year this time to complete the Poemedy Trilogy – it was a dream well beyond my reach at that time. It was my daily – I repeat DAILY belief that propelled the action which caused it to happen. Thank you again for your support in achieving this dream. My dreams are now 10 fold bigger for this year and my belief even stronger. Yes. Anthony – lets all continue to climb the ladder to greatness for the greatest amount of us.
Yes, Summer. No question about it – the bigger the dream, the better. If we don’t dream big. we won’t stretch and grow into our full capacities.
“What if you expanded your dreams to fit your capacity?”
Now that would mean really believing in your expandable capacity, wouldn’t it. Excellent thoughts here Deborah. We can discuss them further.
Dominique, looking forward to talking further. It all starts with our thoughts, doesn’t it?
