Build your dream! That is my new focus – for moving from just “working hard” to Keep allowing my highest and best!”
Build your dream! What that means to me is that I have a dream of a new house which I blogged about yesterday – and I need to not just “work hard” the great ethic I learned from dad and mom and my American country, but I found out today that if I focus on allowing my highest and best – it cuts the time in about half for building my dream!!
What do these people have to do with building my dream or build your dream as I am sharing this with others? The place is Unity of Chandler, Chandler Arizona, the guy on the left is Jerry, my husband, next is me with the flowers, and then Andrea, the outgoing president of the Board, new CEO, replacing Jerry, and then Mary a new board member. Jerry & Mary represent people who concentrated on business experience early in their life. I concentrated on spiritual experience early in my life. So, in order to build my 2nd dream which is to have a financially prosperous life, balanced with my spiritual life, they are lighting my way.
Build Your Dream – because it is not just yours
What happened today? Today, I received the bouquet of flowers in my hands and Jerry received a gift of a beautiful money engraved money clip because we followed our dream to help build Unity of Chandler spiritually and financially in a balance. Dreams are so invisible sometimes that it takes a lot of trust and guts to follow. Build your dream – that is my new montra because it reminds me over and over to trust that what I want and sense I can do and have is mine if I allow myself to have it. I just need to allow it. I started to allow myself to feel appreciation about 2 months ago, because I realized that I was a LOT better at giving appreciation and thanking others, and now very good at accepting appreciation. Therefore, I was often feeling like I was “working hard” fulfilled for my purpose, others benefited immensely from my hard work and I could not feel the connection.
Decide to build your dream and FEEL IT
I decided to change and build my dream of feeling really appreciated while I was working hard. I was fully motivated by my desire to make Unity of Chandler more successful, both to help people spiritually and to help itself financially so that it could expand and and help more people spiritually! Build your dream now means more to me because I took the time to stop and “clean up my act, monitor my thought even more. I am sure others have gotten caught in this same space of “doing” so hard for others that there does not seem time to stop and evaluate, appreciate and pause. Ok, today was a pause. I allowed myself this last week to feel appreciation for all I have done – and guess what! The world responded and I received appreciation from others – and I could actually receive and feel it.
I am happy that I can feel how deeply connected to the spiritual space I have helped create that I am, and I did build my dream there – up to today. And I am going to be part of building the next part of that balanced business and spiritual dream. I am allowing this appreciation to also expand t my personal life and our personal business. Build your dream – I get it, allow it.
