Congratulations if you\u2019ve recently realized what your life dream is. What a wonderful awakening. Now that you\u2019ve come to know what\u2019s inside you, don\u2019t be surprised if passion to pursue your life dream starts stirring your emotions. Ideas may surface in your mind, ideas that, if you act upon them, will help you get closer to the realization, the physical manifestation, of your dreams.<\/p>\n

Birthing Life Dreams<\/strong><\/p>\n

Life dreams<\/a> are different from night dreams. However, Source may use night dreams to reveal the unfolding of your life dreams to you. As an example, recall Joseph in the Bible (Genesis chapter 37, verse 5). Joseph understood the meaning of his night dreams. He had a dream interpretation or analyzing dreams gift. But, you may not. Not everyone appears to have this gift the way Joseph did. In this case, you can pray and ask Source to give you the dream interpretation. However, if you\u2019re not open to receiving the dream interpretation or knowing what the dream means, you may continue to be confused about the dream. Your own<\/i> unwillingness to receive the dream\u2019s message is what keeps you confused about the dream\u2019s meaning.<\/p>\n

Our life dreams are inside of us. They\u2019re like seeds planted within us, waiting for us to nurture them and help them to surface in our lives so the fulfillment of our dreams bless us and everyone we come in contact with. Life dreams are powerful, impossible to ignore or turn away from. Yet, it takes courage to bring life dreams to pass. The world doesn\u2019t pause so we can fulfill our life dreams<\/a>, bring forth what Source has planted in us. Our loved ones transition, children continue to be born, we get hired into new jobs, leave old jobs, move into new residences, care for our families and meet a myriad of daily responsibilities . . . all while pursuing our life dreams.<\/p>\n

Although it would be welcomed, the world doesn\u2019t slow down just because we\u2019re taking steps to manifest our life dreams. We can still feel pain, disappointment and discouragement as we go after our life dreams. There may also be times when we feel like throwing the towel in on our life dreams. In fact, after we realize what our life dreams are and start acting on them, opposition from the ego may build. It\u2019s almost as if, as long as we stay blind to the good that\u2019s inside of us, the world\u2019s thought system buffets us less.<\/p>\n

Wake Up to Your Life Dreams<\/strong><\/p>\n

Wake up to our truth<\/a> and the ego seems to rouse from its slumber, challenging our courage to bring our life dreams to pass. If we continue moving forward, running with the vision, we\u2019ll produce a good result. This work is not for the faint at heart. It requires courage. But, it can be done. Many have already fulfilled their life dreams, people like Harriet Tubman, Joan of Arc, the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., Jesse Owens, Steve Jobs, Bill Gates, Fannie Lou Hamer, Shirley Chisholm, Dr. Charles Drew, Wilma Rudolph, Marva Collins and Evelyn Ashford, to name a few.<\/p>\n

Nothing can replace your life dreams. No amount of work or fun can fulfill you the way bringing your life dreams to pass will. Considering the truth that joy is our strength, it\u2019s wisdom at work when you take the steps to fulfill your life dreams, even if you have to do so as the world\u2019s thought system tries to stop you. Awaken to your life dreams!<\/p>\n
