Do YOU Have A Dream?

Today is Martin Luther King Day. This auspicious holiday celebrates the life and achievements of the civil rights leader who is known for his campaign to end racial segregation and work toward racial equality in the U.S. King’s “I Have A Dream” to promote equality can also serve as a reminder to not shackle ourselves with doubt and limitations, but to work toward achieving our own goals and dreams.

Here is an excerpt from our book, Erase Negativity and Embrace the Magic Within to help with pursuing and achieving your heart’s desire.

ERASE NEGATIVITY

•Avoid working in a career where money is your only goal. If you are stuck in a job that brings no joy and drains you of your energy, find something more nourishing to your soul. Chances are you are feeling stuck, not because you have to be, but because you have decided you have to be.

•Be mindful of the energy exchange you experience with others. Remember that you cannot change others, you can only change yourself.

•Be open to the possibilities in life. Just because things have been difficult in the past does not mean they have to continue to be that way. Your determination and strong intent will move you in the direction you set forth.

•Find things that energize you and avoid those that constrict the energy in your heart, soul and mind. Pay attention to how you feel energetically.

•You are not your bank account, your car, or even your body. When you die, none of these transient things will go with you. Learn to love yourself. Know that you are divine and have unique gifts that only you can contribute to the world.

EMBRACE THE MAGIC WITHIN

•Take time to pray or meditate. If this is uncomfortable, try five minutes of quiet reflection. No one expects you to become a monk. Start with five minutes of prayer, meditation or reflection each day and slowly increase the process over time.

•Look within and establish a pathway to your higher self. This journey may manifest differently depending on your religious or spiritual beliefs, but as long as you are open to making the connection, it can be achieved.

•The interaction between you and your higher self is often subtle, such as a quiet internal voice, flashes of insight, intuition or reoccurring images.

•Find your passion in life, develop it and share it with the world.

•The positive energy you create from your expressions of love, gratitude and kindness will reverberate throughout the universe in the same way that a small pebble thrown into the middle of a still pond can send ripples across the water.
