WHAT DO YOU SEE YOURSELF BECOMING?

YOU CAN DREAM AGAIN!

Then thou scarest me with dreams, and terrifiest me through visions:
Job 7:14 (King James Version)

What do you see yourself becoming? Are you dissatisfied?
Joy, satisfaction, and fulfillment come from finding your dream, vision and mission in life.
Dissatisfaction is only a symptom that you are not in touch with your
purpose. What dream have you discarded? Was it because of disappoint, discouragement, or just plain tough times that you turned off your dream machine?
The present financial crisis has caused many that have lost a job or their investments to retreat for relief.

THE RUT OF DEATH
Many people have learned to live in the RUT of death instead of the way of life.
Without a dream, vision, and goals you will also.
When you have lost your dream or passion for life, you try to just live comfortably.
Even though you may be comfortable doing what you are, you won't be happy with a dream.
What do you see yourself becoming?


ONLY 3% - WOW!!!
Research reveals that only three percent of Americans live lives of
happiness and personal fulfillment. We call it "Living the dream!"
The interesting thing is that similar studies also reveal that only three percent have clearly defined dreams and goals.
Could there be a relationship with personal fulfillment and dreaming and goal setting?
You bet there is! As soon as you get a new dream and set some clear goals, you mentally leave the rut you were in which results in happiness.
Why? The human being was designed to be a dream machine.
You are at your best when you are dreaming and pursuing the dream.
It takes guts to leave ruts because it takes guts to dream again
When it looks like you have failed!
You can live a fulfilled life if you learn the power of charting your course through the dream in your heart.


THE YALE STUDY
Years ago a study and survey was done on some of the 1953 Yale
University graduating class. The professor challenged the graduating class to set some long termed goals for life after Yale.
He did not make this assignment mandatory but optional as a study in human motivation.
The results of the study revealed that only
three percent of the graduates had written down a dream or vision
and clear, specific, goals.
Twenty years later, the researchers interviewed the surviving members of the Yale 1953 graduating class. The three percent who had written down their goals were worth more financially than the other ninety-seven percent put together. More importantly, this three percent group also reported a higher level of happiness and fulfillment.
The difference that made a "quantum difference" was that they had developed an attitude of expectancy.
By dreaming and goal setting they made a quality decision to live a fulfilled life.
You can live your dream! Here are three secrets to get you moving.

SECRET #1 DEVELOP AN ATTITUDE of Positive Expectancy
SECRET #2 MAKE A COMMITMENT to your Goals
SECRET #3 MOVE CONFIDENTLY in the Direction of Your Dreams


"There is nothing worse than being unable to see light at the end of the tunnel. I have learned to focus my energies on solutions, not on the challenge itself. So often, I have seen people waste energy by moaning and groaning about a problem. Yet, if they just realigned their attitude and focused on the solution or on the opportunity, the challenge would not seem as big as they think it is."
Catherine Pulsifer, from My Story
