Who Are The Dream Stealers?

If you’re involved in any way, shape or form with business, network marketing, affiliate marketing, or in any endeavor where the reward is only attained when the result is achieved, then you’ve surely encountered dream stealers somewhere along your journey.
Dream stealers are those people who tell you that you can’t do something, or that “it’s impossible“, “it will never work“, “it will fail” or any other lack-minded declaration under the guise of being well intentioned, in the “know”, educated, and/or being “reasonable/realistic”.
They could be friends, they could be family. They can be colleagues and mentors and authority figures, they can be anyone who does not see the vision that you do… and they can always be spotted by the words they speak.
How To Handle The Dream Stealers
I received a phone call the other day from a man who didn’t have much of a reason to call, other than to tell me that what I was doing wouldn’t work and that he wasn’t going to join me.
He said, in fact, that it would fail because of one reason after another, and because he knows this guy and he told him it wouldn’t work… and he knows so many “famous” people who said it wouldn’t work… and he know what really works and that this will fail… and on and on and on. It was a disgusting assault on my mindset.
I heard one poisonous statement after another; one fallacy after another in an attempt to steer me off course. If I had been weak, I might have been impressed that he knew the top leaders in the industry. I might have seen him as an “expert” and I might have given in to his declarations and fallen off my own intended course…
…but that’s exactly what the dream stealers want!
I quickly stopped the man and told him that he can wish that miserable reality on me… but that is NOT what I see. I do not agree with what you see because what I see in my reality is the opposite of the picture you paint.
He “agreed” with me and then went right back into spewing venomous words so I hung up. I have no time nor the ears to hear this garbage!
It’s ridiculous… especially when my team and I are experiencing great success with what we’re doing… and it looks nothing like what that man said it would.
I speak my reality. I said I will be successful in whatever I chose to do… and I AM successful. My team is successful and prosperous and the people they help will go on to be successful and prosperous too!
Speak The Things You WANT… Not That Which You See!
If you’ve been reading my blog, you know that I speak my reality into existence on a daily basis.
Your words are powerful and they will manifest in your life one way or another.
What so many people are missing is how it all works.
Here’s an example:
When someone says “I never have enough money at the end of the month”… they are saying that because that’s the result that they are experiencing now. It makes sense to them because they see it “now” so they state it in the “now”.
That result is there because of past thinking. Everything around you right now is the past. If you get a result that you don’t want, and you declare that reality by speaking it out as in the example above… you’re going to continue to get more of the reality that you don’t want.
Speak For The Things You Want And Everything Changes
Instead of stating what you see in your reality, state what you want to see over and over again until you can’t stand it. You have to re-train your thoughts to think of what you want so you naturally go in that direction.
The “how” is not important. Being “reasonable” or “realistic” is your enemy. The first man who ever climbed Mt. Everest faced years of humanity saying it couldn’t be done. Did he know every step; every place to strike his pick along the way? Nope. All he knew was that he was going to be standing there at the top despite all of the “reasons” they threw at him.
Ever since then… over 1000 people have been to the top of My. Everest. It takes just ONE person to blaze the trail for the rest to believe it can be done.
“I never have money at the end of the month” can easily be re-stated as: “I always have more money than I need at the end of the month”. What this does is it becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy as your thoughts are focused on what you actually want to see in your life instead of the last result you got and don’t want again.
It might not make sense to you at first… and it might not feel right… like you’re lying to yourself perhaps… but that’s NOT the case!
Think of it like Dorothy in “The Wizard of Oz” when she said “There’s no place like home”. She wasn’t home… at least her mind wasn’t at home… and to get there she stated the place she wanted to go (“There’s no place like home”)… not where she was at, trapped in the land of “Oz”.
Dream Stealers, Be Gone!
Say these new, empowering words over and over again daily until you cannot stand it. Say them 500 times a day for a few weeks straight if you’re serious about changing old habits, breaking the bonds of poverty, and living a fulfilling life! It works!
Next time you open your mouth… speak your dreams into reality instead of the past, over and over again… and don’t let the dream stealers infect you with energy-sucking negative words & statements.
