Are you ready to create your future?
You create your future whether you are aware of it or not. Now it’s time to know how to do it on purpose, intentionally. You will learn how to dream up every part of the future you desire. You are the only person who can make and change your future, and now you will learn how to create it, as YOU like.
Everything starts with a thought, a dream.
Since you were a small child, you’ve always had daydreams. Your dream content might change with age, but you never stopped dreaming. Every dream starts in your mind as an imagined future. Some thoughts don’t stay for long and briefly pass you by, and others are charged with feelings and desires and stay forever.
Maybe you got confused about your dream because of outside influences from parents, school, religion, and society. Once you get clear about what makes you happy, you will gain your direction.
You are the most important person right here and right now.
I bet this is new for you - to have that attention on your own importance. But the reality is, without you, the future will not be the same. In life, we often think that we don't matter and can’t see how our participation can make a difference. But as time passes, as we like to tell you, it’s not that way; you are precious.
You are outstanding and unique with an individual and clear purpose in life.
This purpose will make you happy and give your life meaning.
I know what I want! Why do I need to get clear about my dream?
It is great if you already know what you want. Maybe you want to become a doctor, lawyer, nurse, engineer, pilot, singer, actor, painter or some other type of professional. Perhaps you are dreaming about traveling or having a house and family. Maybe your dream is to help nature, people and animals in the world to create a sustainable future. Once you have your dream, you need to get clear. It is one thing to have an idea of what you want, but another thing to make it clear. What is its meaning? How will you get there?
As long as your dream stays fuzzy and cloudy, it won’t happen. You make it happen by clarifying it, which means knowing all the details of what you desire. With clarity, manifestation occurs. Your dream becomes alive and you can see it as already created. Everything will first form in your mind; then the other steps will follow.
Why are you not already clear about your dream?
● Maybe you have never been told that you are the maker of your dreams, the creator of your future. Perhaps you have been conditioned since your upbringing not to believe in yourself. It’s likely that you were affected by limiting social norms, and comments from friends, parents, and teachers who told you what to think, feel and how to behave to fit in.
● Maybe you have been taught to focus on what society wants you to do, and not to follow your dream, of what makes you happy.
● Maybe nobody has seen your personal abilities and strengths. Or you didn’t dare to focus on them yourself, and it all got forgotten in trying to fit in and to be accepted.
Many times we are following what other people want
just to fit in and be accepted.
