Follow your dream… even when you're not sure what the dream is? ;)

Original painting by su nimonI’m in this fabulous stage of life. Seems so many dreams have come true that now I’m beginning to live in this feeling that fabulous things are coming even though I’m really not sure what those things are. So many people I meet seem to think they have to “figure something out” or even to use a familiar phrase from the 70’s “get their sh!t together” before their lives will begin to feel more happy, more fulfilling. I’m coming to realize that I don’t need to know what the next step is, I just need to believe that joy, fulfillment and love will always surround me.
I’ve learned some years ago about the Law of Attraction. If you aren’t familiar with the term, it means I can attract into my life those things I think about or focus my thoughts and spirit on. I learned this basic concept from Mike Dooley and his website tut.com. Many people learn about this idea from the movie “The Secret” and other books.
So for maybe 10 years now (?) I’ve been believing Mike Dooley’s mantra that “Thoughts Become Things”  and because of that, I need to choose my thoughts carefully. I began visualizing for short periods everyday that my life was different. I visualized being an artist and now I have my studio/gallery in the art’s district downtown. I dreamed of finding a way to help people with energy and light, and now through my massage therapy practice, I do get to help people feel healthier and often find their smile. I could go on and on… I now play music and sing, I design clothes… I’m doing mostly just those things I’m passionate about. It’s very fun. These changes weren’t instantaneous. Now after years have passed I see that gradual transitions and certain decisions have brought me here to this place of amazement.
But now what… once your dreams come true, what to do? Dream More, of course. But now, I’m not faced with specific things I want to be doing that I’m not. So now, maybe it’s about “more.” More happiness, more love… and not just for me. Now I visualize more love, more peace for me and for you and for the world. I don’t know exactly how these dreams will come into fruition exactly. But based on my past experience… I know it’s going to be good.
So perhaps, if you’re wishing for your life to be different… you might not spend too much time figuring out the details. You might just believe and dream up a life full of love and peace and joy. And let me know how it goes for you! 😉
As always, Have Fun!

  1. The Power of Attraction is a very helpful concept, and one you clearly utilize in your life, Su. A reassuring blog indeed.
    If one sits comfortably in one’s life, one’s life unfolds well. I think it may have a lot to do with removing the things that cause stress. For many, this may be the expectations that others have of us – and finding our own, unique, voice to replace their expectations with something better and more authentic.
    ‘Being’ comes first, and when one is comfortable with that, ‘doing’ comes next.
    Thank you for this blog posting!

  2. Paul, I couldn’t agree with you more. You made a statement awhile back concerning how our society values a person based on their productivity (my recollection, not your words) and I couldn’t agree more. Being who we feel we were created to be is everything. The LOA concept I think helps people find a place to begin. It was a lovely beginning point for me. Thanks for reading my babble. Have fun!
