“Put it out there,
let it go. Plant the seed and let it grow” –
Ter Scott!
I am going to accentuate the positive today as I talk about
acquiring your dreams and will provide an affirmation with an assignment to do this.
Many of my readers are not experiencing the positive attainment of their dreams
and goals fast enough (in their minds) or not at all.
Are you wondering why something isn’t happening just how you
want it to happen, or fast enough? There are at least two reasons why we get
results slowly or don’t see results in our life (there are more, but I’ll cover
just two here). I was speaking to a friend recently and I was reminded of a few
things so I thought I would share them with my readers.
In the “Lords” Prayer which really is the “Believers” Prayer
we say, “Give us this day our daily bread”. If you are like me and haven’t
totally acquired the virtue of patience, you are asking “Give me this day my
weekly, monthly or even my yearly bread”. I’d like to know what is coming this
week, month and year so I can be in control and make plans, but that’s why our
needs are taken care of step by step; day by day. We need to take things day by
day and trust in the one who created the universe for our week, month and
yearly; that’s called faith. Allow me to share as to how we can get that faith
to work in our lives.
There are three steps to acquiring anything in our lives. As
with attaining success in any area (of the Major 8 ™) the formula is simple but
not necessarily “easy”. With each step there are mini steps and/or things that
must be done, or done a certain way to reach the desired outcome. I will
broadly cover a few things about the first two steps. (If you would like deeper
coaching on a one on one basis via email and other, consider visiting www.terscott.com/coaching).
The three steps are: Visualize, Believe and Realize. This process
does take “time”; but it doesn’t have to take as long as we think; how long it takes,
we don’t always “know”. However, we need to expect positive results to get
positive results, not sabotage our results by sabotaging them and giving them
power of our passion to realize them more readily. Today I will speak just a
bit on steps one and two because this is where many of us get stuck; nurture your
dreams; don’t demolish them and give them the power of your passion to grow. I
will also offer an assignment for you to get going on one of your dreams and
when you see success, you’ll gain faith to move forward to bigger and even
better things; life can unfold before you in a positive way, just how you want
it!
The first reason for not realizing our dream is that every time
we “visualize” the good of what we want, we sabotage it. One way we sabotage
our dreams is after we “expect” good things and our dream to be realized, we
talk ourselves out of it by thinking and saying things (in our minds and out
loud) like, “this stuff doesn’t work, it will never happen to me, I can’t do
that”. So, my advice is to just “put it out there and let it go. Just plant the
seed and let it grow”.
Secondly we don’t give our dream “power of passion and
emotion”. After “planting the seed” of what it is that you desire, believe it
with all of your emotions. Feel the feelings you’ll have when you have the
dream as if you have already received it; because you have. It’s like you are a
kid again (unless you are a kid reading this) and you’ve placed an order from a
mail order catalog and you know it’s on its way. You’ve ordered it, now let it
get processed and get shipped to you! Isn’t that exciting? When you order
something from a catalog you don’t belabor the fact that someone has to get
your order, put it in a box, ship it to you, and the carrier has to fill the vehicle
with gas, etc. etc. You know it is on it’s on its way and you are excited!
Here’s your (exciting) “assignment”. Use your own need or dream in your assignment. I am sharing an example here to give you
an idea as to what to do. Let’s say that you have a dream (or need) to attain
$100,000. Right away you are empowered because you know what it is that you
want (many people don’t know what it is that they want); you have a target to
aim at.
Number a sheet of paper from 1 to 10. Get in a quiet place
where you won’t be disturbed. You can prepare yourself by praying, doing stress
reducing exercises, or whatever to get yourself situated for inspiration.
When ready, ask: “How can $100,000 come to me easily?”. Be
careful not to ask the question in the form of “What can I do to get
$100,000?”. This is not all about “you”. And, you have already done everything
“you” can do, and this is bigger than “you”. Get “you” out of the way and let
God/Universe do it’s thing.
Now without judging your thoughts that come to you, just
write them down. For instance, if “win the lottery” comes to you write it down.
Don’t say “I’d have to buy a ticket, I never buy lottery tickets” etc. By doing
so you are sabotaging your dream and the visualization and belief; that’s two
thirds of the three step process! Could someone else who bought a lottery
ticket win and give you the money? Of course! So write it down!
Write as fast as the thoughts come to you and don’t stop at
ten if more ideas come to you. But write down at least ten, even if you have to
think a bit harder for eight, nine and ten. Set a timer on your smartphone and
invest at least ten minutes doing this. If you have time after you’ve written
you ten, look over your ten and maybe more ideas will come.
Now with your ten, be grateful for these ideas and say
“thanks” for them.
Carry the sheet with you or write them on a 3 x 5 card and
carry that with you.
Look at the list as often as possible during the day, but
for certain just when you get up and before you go to bed.
Your accompanying affirmation:
“There are so many ways to attain (name the dream) and I’m excited as I
see it come to realization. I am grateful that (name the dream) has happened
and I experience (name what you’ll be having, doing and being) fully today”.
Now, you can go away from here after reading this thinking
that all of this is “hokey” or “won’t work for me” and all I can say is that if
you keep doing what you’ve always done, you’ll always get what you’ve always
got. That’s just my way of saying, get off you bottom and give it a try. If you
don’t have a big issue, “problem” or dream right now, great; practice by attaining
something (that in your mind is) small so you’ll be ahead of the game when you need to do something. Visualize,
Believe, and Realize today, tomorrow and forever!
I hope this will help you to acquire your dream faster and
bigger than you can ever imagine. Be sure to do the “assignment” or you’ll
never know the power of realizing your dream and build your faith for attaining
bigger dreams and having the peace in knowing that anything you desire is
possible and within your reach!
Make it happen. Make it a great day!
