Why should a person give as much energy to fears as they give to dreams?
“Do you give as much energy to your dreams as you do to
your fears?”
If we choose to stop dreaming, then we choose to stop
living. I say choose because deferring away from our dreams is a choice. If
there were never anyone to tell us that maybe we can’t reach whatever goals we
see in our hearts, then there would never be anyone who didn’t accomplish everything
that God put them on this Earth to accomplish.
Wanting to keep your dreams, and protect them, isn’t a
crazy thing, we must all protect our dreams. We must not only protect our
dreams, but we must be willing to fight to the death for our dreams.
Stay in the moment:
Want to see your energy soar? Catch yourself living in the
past or the future as often as you can.
Notice regrets as it pops up, or guilt, or longing.
Recognize when you start thinking about what might or might not happen
tomorrow. Catch all these “past and future” moments, and then bring yourself
back to the moment you’re living in. The present moment is the only place where
we will find both peace and power.
Engage in activities that keep you at the moment:
Deep breathing exercises work, as will meditation, yoga,
gardening, reading, swimming, running; a walk in the woods, a bike ride at the
beach. Nature helps, so does humor, volunteering, gratitude, compassion, and
doing virtually anything that brings you joy.
Avoid the 24/7 always-on lifestyle:
Turn off lights, music, news, equipment, and most
importantly, the mind. And while you’re at it, stay away from conversations
with people who only want to talk about how screwed up the world is. The more
you obsess about something, the faster you’ll bring more of it into your life.
And every time we do, we just suck away our energy.
Seek friends who support, make you smile and laugh:
Avoid friends who infringe on your space, covet your time,
suck your energy, and give nothing in return. We all know who they are.
Avoid excessive food, drink, or anything that consumes more
time and energy than it gives back.
In short, avoid anything that brings you imbalance,
fatigue, and illness, no matter how pleasurable or intoxicating it may seem.
This means poor diet, sedentary lifestyle, excessive alcohol, caffeine, and
sugar.
Conclusion: When we don’t protect our dreams as we are
supposed to, then they will do nothing but disappear from our hearts, slowly,
until we are forced into an abyss full of nothingness so deep, that our only
option is death. Keep your dreams!
