Do you dare to dream?

I have a villa in Tuscany. It is an old house, but it has been beautifully restored. It stands on a hill close to a small village with olive trees and vineyards growing all around. From my balcony I have a beautiful view of the gardens with the swimming pool as a focal point. I love to watch the sunset from there. On the ground floor the brand new kitchen has a large sitting area where the family gathers to exchange ideas and brainstorm, talk about our day and our adventures. On the terrace we had an outdoor pizza oven installed, the real thing and the kids are ecstatic!

The subconscious mind does not differentiate between fiction and reality! If you have a dream and are able to verbalize it with colorful descriptions and emotion, like when you tell a friend about an exciting event, your subconscious mind might actually believe that this is true for you. This is called creative visualisation, and it takes some practice! So keep dreaming and telling yourself about everything that you wish you had. Better yet, write your dream on a piece of paper and read it every day. Keep your description as vivid as possible, colors, people, sounds, smells and every detail you can possibly think of. Put a date on there, when are you planning of reaching this goal? Remember to put any of the strong positive feelings in there too and ALWAYS be grateful.

Your subconscious mind will then start noticing things in your environment that take you steps toward your dream. The tricky thing is to notice those hints and dare to act upon them! Another thing to keep in mind is that it takes the same effort to ask for 1 cent as it does for winning a million dollars, getting your dream job or staying in poverty or misery! It’s your choice, choose wisely.

Happy thoughts!
