Dream Big and Protect Your Dreams!

How To Protect Your Dreams
By Maureen O'Crean

We don't often hear people talk about the care and feeding of our dreams, but this is a very important component of bringing our dreams to fruition.

Do you recall ever hearing about an assignment that has been used in high schools where students are asked to carry a raw egg around for 24 hours and pretend that egg is a baby? This exercise gives people the opportunity to experience what it's like to have a very fragile being with them. Our nascent dreams are as fragile as that raw egg- or perhaps even more fragile. To me, a dream is akin to a soap bubble. Remember when we were little children and we blew bubbles with a wand and that bubble stood precariously on the end of that wand? That soap bubble is really a better metaphor for what our dreams are like.

Imagine you are walking through the world with that bubble. You can't protect it because if you touch it, it breaks. You can't cover it. There is nothing you can do to protect that bubble except carry it with a steady hand. I want you to imagine that bubble is your dream. What you have to do is protect yourself via the company you keep. That's one of the surest ways to protect your dream. You want to surround yourself with success thinkers. Make sure that you only share your dream with somebody who can hold it in their heart as carefully as you hold it in yours.

There are social agreements in the world whereby governments send delegates and decide to take action to protect the welfare of the entire planet. Sadly, there is very little social agreement for protecting individual dreams. You can see this manifested when you talk to people about your dreams. For instance, someone might say, 'Oh, well, that's nice but that's not possible. You might not have enough money. You might not have enough education. You don't know what you're doing.' Those individuals, while they mean well, are really dream stealer's. You want to make sure that you are not in the company of dream stealer's, but in the company of dream keepers.

It is also crucial to develop patterns of success. In The Magic of Thinking Big, Dr. David Schwartz outlines several success practices; for example, 'Be a front seater.' It's often said that the front seat is the million dollar seat if you're in school or at a lecture. By making a practice of taking a front seat, it shows you're not afraid to go to where the action is.

Another pattern related to success is making eye contact with people when you speak with them. I would challenge you today to go out in the world and watch how people speak to each other; most of the time you will see that a person's eyes are wandering when they are having a conversation. This indicates a lack of confidence, so you want to train yourself to look right in the eye of anyone you're speaking to, everyone.

Another success practice is walking 25% faster than you normally do because this gives you an air of confidence. And, once you have an air of confidence, anything can happen. It also changes your physiology when you walk a little bit faster than you normally do. The same is true about speaking up when you are talking. You want to speak forcefully and gently, but do speak up.

Another key behavior you can adopt is smiling more. When you smile, you change the chemistry in your body. You're happier and it's easier for people to like you. And being likable is 90% of getting anything accomplished. There is a 9 to 1 factor between likability and technical skills. So if you're in competition for anything-a job, a part in a play, anything you can think of-likability is 90% of it. If you don't like yourself, no one else will. So it's vitally important to work on liking ourselves.

I encourage you to keep your dreams alive and to surround yourself with people that support you. Protect your dreams by incorporating physical success practices that project an air of confidence.

Effortless Steps to Transformation

Transformation does not have to be a long, painstaking process. There are many shifts we can make with ease on a consistent basis. These small variations can add up to major changes in our thoughts, behaviors, and ultimate results. The important thing is to consciously make them a part of our everyday lives until they become automatic and effortless. Try these suggestions, and you’ll be transforming before you know it!

1. USE TRAVEL TIME FOR PERSONAL GROWTH.
Consistently absorb the thinking patterns of successful, happy people by listening to them while in your car. You can download motivational books and podcasts from ITunes and play them on your MP3 player or burn them to a CD. This doesn’t take up any extra time from your busy day and the long-term payoff is definitely worth it!

2. STRETCH YOURSELF.
Make it a practice to do something a little bit outside of your comfort zone each day. It doesn’t have to be anything exceptionally risky. It just has to challenge you on a personal level. By gradually stretching, you begin to develop a rock steady belief in yourself and your ability to handle a variety of situations.

3. TRY ON SOME NEW BEHAVIORS!
You are an expert at doing what you continually do. If what you are doing works for you, by all means, keep doing it. In the areas of your life that you want to transform, however, try on a variety of new behaviors. With the inquisitiveness of an investigative reporter, observe the results you get. Which behaviors do you want to maintain? Which do you want to eliminate? The choice is yours.

4. PRACTICE SETTING YOUR EGO ASIDE FOR SHORT PERIODS OF TIME.
When you can accept your own humanity with all its blessings and flaws, you no longer have to be perfect at everything you do. You can learn to value feedback from others as an opportunity to gain some information regarding the ways they might be experiencing you in any given moment. You can even begin to acknowledge the morsel of truth behind various criticisms without getting defensive.

Feeling the Fear and Doing it Anyway!

Check out this article by John Halderman, and learn some great ways to deal with paralyzing fears.

Have you ever been overwhelmed with fear as you have faced doing something? We all have I think each at our own level, with some becoming physically immobilized by it. If your fear feelings overpower you to the point of inaction you have given fear the upper hand. I stated it this way on purpose, your fear is not doing anything to you, rather you are allowing the fear to affect you as it does - it is all within your thought. And you have command over your thought and feelings as well. Effectively handling fear can have a great positive impact on your personal growth and development and on your overall happiness in life.

When you get the fear feelings based on doubt, worry and uncertainty you choose to allow these thoughts to roil around in your head. You choose how you interpret them and how you react to them. A fearful thought does not come pre-packaged with a specific set of feelings and behavioral commands. Those too are of your choosing.

When you let yourself remain in the fear, you are choosing to have the fear guide your actions. It's a logical progression to react to the fear feelings based on how most of us have developed our perceptions around fear. But when you realize that you have created the whole cycle in your mind, you can begin to see that you have ultimate command over the whole cycle. You can change this existing cycle of perception, interpretation and reaction to one that is more supportive of the life you want.

Dr. Wayne Dyer is well known for saying that when you change the way you look at things, the way you look at things changes. He is referring to your perception, which may appear at first to be totally automatic but it's not. Well it is and it isn't! It is automatic as it functions now, but you have the ability to change it and have it automatically be different. Just because you now, as most do, react to worry, doubt and uncertainty with fear thoughts does not mean this is the only way or that it must be this way.

So how did your perceptions, interpretations and reactions get the way they are? And why does it seem that this is just the way they should be? Because you were taught these things by those you were around as you grew up. You took on the perceptions, interpretations and reactions of those who provided the greatest impression on you as you grew up. Your mind allows this, unless you consciously step in to stop it, because it seems normal in the environment you were in when young and highly impressionable. When most or all of the people you are around do it 'this way' there is no red flag raised in your thinking to question it, so you don't. Their way becomes your way.

This is how your behavior and that of groups, families and societies is formed and why it appears to be 'normal'. And the fact that many people behave in a certain way does not make it the best way, many times it is just the easiest way. It is easier to conform than to take a unique path. You don't have to remain stuck in the mode of allowing fear thoughts to control your actions. You have command of your thinking so you can change the whole cycle or mental chain of events that occurs with fear. Initially the thoughts of doubt, and some uncertainty are normal when you are facing something new, different or challenging but you don't need to let the heightened feelings well up and create this big fear thing that you then cater to.

You can change the way you look at doubt, worry and uncertainty. They are just certain thoughts questioning what you are about to do. "Am I prepared?" "What if ____?" "Maybe I won't remember?" "How will they react?" "How do I look?" These are mostly logical concerns about what you are about to do and if you can answer them logically, without emotion, you can clear them up and soothe your mind. Some you can specifically answer and check off the list and others you will determine you can't do anything about, so you do not concern yourself with it any more. Choose to leave out the doom and gloom thoughts, the "I can't" thoughts that are not part of the original concerns - they are your reaction to those thoughts.

Just because you are concerned with how you look, dies not mean you should stop from doing it. Just because you are wondering if you are prepared or not does not mean to turn and run. Just because you have not done this before does not mean you can't. You interpretation and reaction to the logical progression of thought leading up to your planned action is what causes you to freeze up. But even when you allow the feeling of fear to well up over these thoughts, still does not mean you must behave in a certain way. You can proceed with the fear, don't interpret the fear feelings as a stop sign. Just acknowledge those feelings and move on. Accept them, realize how they come about and let them be. Fear thoughts and feelings in themselves can't do anything, only when you choose to react in specific ways do they. Choose not to react to them in ways that have you suffering and keep you from what you want.

It's your life, live it your way. Every day is a good day for personal growth and development.
