By Denise Turney<\/p>\n

The genesis of faith is in the realm where physical eyes do not see. Faith might reveal itself in an emotion or thought. For example, if you want to land a six-figure job and buy a new house, faith might cause you to feel happy, hopeful and joyous when you drive through neighborhoods filled with houses that resemble the type of house you want to live in.<\/p>\n

If you let the feelings and thoughts strengthen you will allow faith to connect your inner and outer vision causing you to see with your physical eyes what you first saw with your inner vision. Eventually you will have what you asked for (whether you used words or simply desire, absent words, to ask).<\/p>\n

Temptations to Stop Using Faith to Realize Your Dreams<\/strong><\/p>\n

It all sounds simple enough and it is simple. However, we live in a physical world (even the physically blind use physical senses like touch to navigate the earth\u2019s terrain). It\u2019s tempting to keep checking to see if our faith is moving our inner vision for what we want into the physical realm. When we hear of others who have manifested their desires ahead of us we can start to feel like we\u2019ll never get what we\u2019ve been asking for. If we compare ourselves to others too much, we might start telling ourselves we\u2019re \u201cunlucky,\u201d \u201cnot from the right family or background,\u201d \u201ccreated to sacrifice our desires so others can achieve\u201d (this one is absolutely absurd!) or a failure.<\/p>\n

I\u2019m sure you can guess what likely occurs next. Yep. We quit trying to achieve our dreams, and that, my friend is not a fun life, because our authentic self will not stop asking for what it wants, and we may live a life of conflict, lacking peace, if we don\u2019t get back to exercising strong faith to realize our dreams. It\u2019s this refusal to quit that keeps moving Love Pour Over Me<\/span>\u2019s Raymond Clarke forward, propelling him to pursue his dreams to become one of the world\u2019s top middle distance runners. Refusal to quit is also the reason Raymond never stops believing in and searching for love<\/a>. Like many of us, the wait for true love seems too long for Raymond. Yet, the thought of living without love is too painful.<\/p>\n

Realizing Your Dreams<\/strong><\/p>\n

The bottom line is \u2013 we were created to live vibrant, joyous, love-filled experiences . . . nothing short of it . . . ever. As we start doubting and not getting our most sincere, love-based requests while witnessing others doing the same, we may even tell ourselves that it\u2019s the human condition to struggle, to be in conflict and misery. But this is a lie. Fortunately, there are enough of us using faith to realize our dreams to blow this lie out of the water.<\/p>\n

For many students at a famous Pennsylvania university, Raymond\u2019s successes serve as encouragement. Other students on the spacious university campus simply admire Raymond\u2019s athletic achievements from afar, cheering him on with each win. While appreciating the support, Raymond can\u2019t help but long for his father\u2019s approval, something he didn\u2019t get even when he was a little boy. This is where Raymond\u2019s seeds of doubt about love and a truly good life derive. He starts to wonder if he can have what he really wants \u2013 a lifetime of love.<\/p>\n

However, just because we don\u2019t know how to start a car doesn\u2019t mean a car won\u2019t start. Just because we haven\u2019t succeeded at riding ocean waves doesn\u2019t mean ocean waves can\u2019t be ridden (surfers do it all the time). Just because no one had broken the four minute mile didn\u2019t mean humans couldn\u2019t break the four minute mile (Roger Bannister broke the supposedly impossible to break four minute mile in 1954. Since that time the supposedly impossible fete has been accomplished by track runners many times with the fastest mile to date being run in 3:43. Perhaps it was the mental barrier that needed to be broken before the actual fete could be accomplished).<\/p>\n

Possibly searching for a list of impossible fetes <\/em>that humans achieved will help you to realize whatever you\u2019re telling yourself is impossible might be very possible<\/em> if you exercise faith to realize your dreams. Perhaps if you read stories of other people who felt a dream birthing inside themselves then worked to achieve or manifest the dream in the physical realm your faith will be strengthened.<\/p>\n

It also might help to think about your love-based desires and paying attention to how good you feel when you see yourself achieving them. It\u2019s this joy you want to feel all the time. Realizing your love-based dreams<\/a> can help you to do this. It worked for Raymond in Love Pour Over Me<\/span>. It\u2019s worked for countless people around the globe. It can work for you.<\/p>\n
