Take Action: The Laboratory of Life

by Madisyn Taylor In order to make our dreams come true, we must take action rather than simply wishing for what we want. There is a popular misconception that we might be able to just wish our dreams into being. Maybe on some other level of consciousness this is the case, but here on earth what we need to do is take action in our lives. Vision is an important companion to our efforts, but it can't accomplish anything all by itself. When we focus on what we want and ask for what we want, we are initiating a conversation with the universe. Our desires, passionately defined and expressed, bring about valuable and relevant opportunities, which we then respond to by either taking or leaving them. Many of us are afraid to step out into the world and make things happen, and so we hang back, dreaming and waiting and watching. There are times in life when this is the right thing to do, but this phase of inaction must eventually give way to its opposite if we are to build our dreams into a reality. This can be really scary, and we may fail and struggle, but that's okay because that's what we're supposed to do. Waiting for everything to be perfect before we act, or waiting for what we want to be handed to us, leaves us waiting forever. No one expects us to be perfect, so the best thing we can do for ourselves is to get out there and take action on our dreams. One of the hardest parts about having a vision is that when we test it in the laboratory of life, it often comes out looking completely different than what we had in mind or, worse, it doesn't come out at all. If you read the life stories of people who have brought their dreams into reality, you will hear many stories about this experience. But you will also hear about hard work, taking action, perseverance, and, finally, the successful birthing of a dream. http://dailyom.com/cgi-bin/display/articledisplay.cgi?aid=61058 (This has come at a good time for me.  Michaela.) Ps I reminded  to use the structure of Saturn at home in Capricorn " Once Saturn is in Capricorn action comes with great power and the impact of our every decision will be multiplied, for in its own sign Saturn holds us to account like nowhere else and we become subject to the most potent forces of karmic change." from Look Before You Leap! 3rd – 23rd December 2017 UT: Mercury Retrograde in Sagittarius by Sarah Varcas by Sarah Varcas on 01/12/2017 Also I am reminded of the advice to "plan 3 times" (by Jim Self).  I am coming up to the third attempt to do something big, for me,  so lets see Third time Lucky!!! However planning 3 times means much more than that, it gives you the space to be specific and to put in your plan  1. structure in relation to what you learned during the intervals, and  2.  you have learned to know yourself, what you want and why, and  3.  the intervals between attempts have allowed you the space to be congruent with yourself by experiencing life conditions that may not  have included or allowed provision for your dreams to be lived or breathed into.  So, Plenty of motivation to get on with it the third time, in the mean time a chat about planning 3 times with Jim self....Michaela.      Morning Conversations with Jim Self and Roxane Burnett - Plan 3 Times
