INTRICATE ANGLES

Dream Journey #2

"Every great dream begins with a dreamer. Always remember you have within you the strength, the patience, and the passion to reach for the stars to change the world." - Harriet Tubman

In my last post I promised to give you some simple practical tips how to go on with Your Dream Journey. First off, do not give up on your dreams - that picture of the future you want to live in one day! 

Dreams carry hope&life and that´s why they are so powerful. Though, we all know people that have given up on their dreams for one reason or another. They most likely try to talk you out of them(especially if you are crazy dreamer and believe in the impossible), but don´t listen to them. Some people just haven´t had the guts to step into the unknown, they´ve become too bitter because of their own failures(though if you let, failures can also be used for good). And the fact is, not everybody is going to like it, especially if you start something completely new and risky. But without risks, you never know what could have happened. What if you succeed? What if what you dreamed of changes the world for the better and inspires others? What is the worst thing that could happen if you failed - At least you tried and left your mark in this world! It´s time to think outside of manmade boxes and dream.

In the Dream Journey, we need to take the steps to get where we want to be. Easy steps are: dream - write them down - do an action plan - execute. Of course there may be dreams that require supernatural intervention and that is where God comes in the picture(it is a lot easier, if you start dreaming with Him already from the beginning :)). It may not look the same for you as for me, since it depends on what your dreams are. If one of my dreams is to keep Dream Workshops, there´s a lot of preparing, organizing and advertising to do. I need to know what I´m talking about as well. And don´t wait for other people to do it for you, unless if it´s something you can´t carry on at all on your own. It´s also important to change the course of your life, if it´s not taking you where you want to be(I´m talking to myself too, haha). Many people don´t want to step out from their comfort zones - of their "secure" lives, because it require changes. Change is evitable, because progress in anything is impossible without change. Like Norman Vincent Peale said, "Change your thoughts and you change the world", it all starts from the inside. Cultivate positive and encouraging thoughts - it will take you far in your Dream Journey!

In case if it´s challenging for you to get hold of your dreams, here are some ideas to get you thinking(from Dream Culture by Andy and Janine Mason):

Creative dreams: Write songs/do music, inspire people through art
Big dreams: Become a president, end global poverty, find cures for deathly diseases
Fun dreams: Ride in a hot air balloon, skydiving
Things to be: A source of wisdom to those around me, physically fit
Things to have: My own business, my own home
Things to do: Graduate from college, climb a mountain
Financial dreams: Become debt free, grow many sources of income
Emotional dreams: Overcome fear, restore a broken relationship
Family dreams: Get married, be the best mother/father you can be
Spiritual dreams: See creative miracles, live from love
Places to visit: See the seven wonders of the world
The thing you want to be remembered for: Love, empowering others
The gifts you want to give: Start an orphanage in Africa, give a million dollars at one time

If you would be interested in attending a Dream Workshop with me, contact me. Teaching and activating in the Dream Workshops would obviously be more profound(everything will flow from a spiritual aspect btw). What I´ve been sharing here just scratch the surface. There´s so much more to Dreaming than what I can summarize here! Why I want to keep these Dream Workshops, is because one of my crazy dreams is to see everyone to walk out their dreams(and I mean the kind of dreams that bring forth life&hope), for every person to thrive and live in their full potential. :)

About my outfit! The dress is from Marimekko. I really like Marimekko´s clothes, because the fabrics are high quality(like this dress is 70% silk) and because of the graphics. Shoes are from Diesel.

I hope this post inspired you to dream! :)

Intricately yours,

Marjo
