Marcia's Dream NoteDear <$firstname$>, Every New Year's eve my family and I have a tradition. We dream. We write down what we want for ourselves, each other and the world. We also review last year's dreams. It's always exciting to see which dreams came true. We especially revel in the dreams that happened with little or no effort. Sometimes the act of setting an intention and writing your dreams down is enough to begin the process. It's time to set your 2006 in motion. This month's article will help you focus on what is important to you. During this holiday season, I send blessings and prayers to you and your loved ones. Dream Big, Making New Year's Resolutions StickIf you are considering setting a New Year's resolutions, here's an alternative: This year, go for your dreams! Do you dream of doing less and having more? Would you like to be more successful and less stressed out? How about being healthier or in better shape? Do you want more quality time with friends and family? How about a new job, more passion, more money, even more fun? Dreams like these, have far more chance of survival than your resolutions, which are based on what you don't want. Why? Because your dreams and desires have more power than your doubts and dislikes. There's a different kind of energy and joy when you are moving toward your dreams than there is when you are trying to "fix" something. For example, if your dream is to feel and look good, a different kind of energy will be applied than to the drudgery of getting rid of the weight by diet and exercise. "Getting a healthier, more vibrant body" will be easier than "losing weight." Similarly, "building a successful business" will be more exciting than "getting rid of debt." Dreaming Big vs. Thinking Small Similarly, once you're focused on a dream, you will need to strategize on how to accomplish it. But if you strategize too quickly, you may compromise the dream. Though the realist in you may want to know where the time or money is going to come from, you may not have it all figured out in the early phases. And that's OK, because if you live primarily focused on problem-solving, most of your energy will go toward fixing what is wrong or getting rid of what you don't want -- and your passion may be squelched in the process. Thus, it's a useful practice to embellish and enhance the dream for a while before considering the nuts and bolts of how you are going to accomplish it. As you open yourself up to unlimited possibilities, amazing things begin to happen. Follow through on your intentions as you "walk your talk." Be a visionary. A visionary has a vision or a dream, articulates it with clarity and passion, gets others excited about it and invites them to play. Dream big, share your dreams and remind others to do the same.

Dream Quote
"The world is but a canvas to our imagination." Dear Marcia,
I feel stuck and have lost my confidence as far as writing my book. I just read a great book on a similar topic and now feel I couldn't do as good of a job and I'm feeling insecure about my writing skills. I know I'm very good verbally but when I write it sounds blah. Any suggestions? E. ************* Dear E – Stop comparing. That's one of the most destructive behaviors when it comes to creativity. If you have a story to tell, tell it, and do it in your own unique style. When I write first drafts, I don't worry what others will think. That really fr^ees me up. On the logistics side, if you're great at speaking but struggle with writing, you might check out Dragon Speaking. You talk, it types. The secret is, write, a little every day if possible. Speak from your heart. And remember, no one can say it the way you will. Warmly, Need help? E-mail your questions. Serious About Your Dreams? Choose a Certified Dream Coach to provide you with a complimentary session. We ask that you are serious about hiring a coach and that you do only one "comp" session.
