The path to many dreams are clearly realized through a university degree or some type of training, while other dreams demand goals that aren't so easy to

define. These can at times be illusive, deceiving us into believing that they cannot be attained. However, don't let difficulty make you back down.  A dream

must be brought to life and it doesn't matter what the challenge.  Dreams were born to succeed. God made them that way.  
 
For instance if your heart is set on establishing something completely your own such as a home business, a non-profit organization, or a ministry, you will

need experience as well as training and or an education.  There may be many uncharted steps along the way and if you avoid them, you'll miss important

preparation and perhaps take the wrong direction.  But nothing is ever wasted, so a side-step here or there can ultimately get you to where you should go

with greater insight and ability.  
      

Put life into your dreams by examining what is needed to accomplish them, then compare that information with what you already have and know.  Scrutinize your

past experience, training, and education that may apply and then set goals to move beyond that point.  This information will put you on the first step of

your journey and in the midst of your dream. 
  

Each step of accomplishment is like a building block creating a blueprint of your destiny. Once this process is in motion always check to insure you're

moving in the right direction until you eventually attain your dream.  This is one part of your success. The other part is believing in yourself enough to

broadcast who you are and what you can do for those who will directly benefit.
  

Get rid of shyness and self-consciousness and let your light shine. Your dream at this point is alive and ready to touch lives. If you center upon how you

feel, you'll lose the intention of your ambition.  So keep your passion strong by reaching beyond your needs for the needs of others. 

Do this by speaking to people from your heart instead of just your head.  If you must write, get your point across in a way that touches people and proves they are more important to you than money.  Be yourself, but tailor who you are to the needs of those who you intend to address.  If you're speaking to the elderly for example, use terms they can understand and learn as much about them as possible. 
 

As you find weaknesses in your character, don't give up or be discouraged.  Instead, use them to better yourself and grow.  Be true to your words by living

what you say, giving others a reason to believe in you and your message.   
 

And no matter what, believe in yourself and your goals even if you suspect you're in over your head.  Take a deep breath and look at the reasons why you were

created to live your dream and you'll find the strength to overcome any and all self-destructive fears.

I hope you've enjoyed this series and that you have much success living your dreams.

Sincerely,
Margaret
