Dream Courageously - Live Courageously
What does it mean to dream and live courageously? It means that you have given yourself permission to be YOU! It means that you are the leading actor in the movie of your life; standing at center stage, centered in self; choosing to cast your movie with supporting actors that enhance your performance.
One lives courageously once they start taking full responsibility for their life - ALL OF IT! And that means no more sleep walking ones way through life. No more excuses; no blame; no guilt; no more shame. I call this way of living, conscious living or living intentionally. And this takes courage, big time courage.
Each of us are born to express our unique individualized Self; the unfortunate reality is that most of us were not taught this and have lived a diluted version of ourself. I see many individuals start to wake up from the nightmare of unconsciously living life after some kind of crisis, a relationship break-up, the death of a loved one, some sort of loss, an accident, or a physical illness. The pain seems to push us to change and our Spirit then seems to pull us forward.
“It is only when you have the courage to face things exactly as they are without any self-deception or illusion, that a light will develop out of the events by which the path to success may be recognized.” I Ching
Waking up and living courageously brings peace, joy, freedom, and love that is supported by the act of courageous dreaming. Dreaming intentionally or being a conscious co-creator with Source/Divine Intelligence/Infinite Love is the natural way - the Tao. We do this by making each decision guided by our Higher Self, listening to that still small voice within that knows what is best for us as part of the Whole. We no longer make decisions based in fear, we only make decisions grounded in love. We no longer say “yes,” when we mean “no.”
A courageous dreamer knows that they are supported every step of the way by the Infinite power, order, harmony, wisdom, and love of the Universe and that ALL is in Divine Right Timing - and there are never, ever any mistakes. All is perfect in the imperfection.
Wake up! And dream on!
Peace and blessings,
