Treasure Your Dreams

When you set a goal, do you believe you will reach it? I’m sure you at least hope you will… think you might… but do you truly, truly believe that it will happen?

There’s a phrase I’m sure you’ve heard of — “Fake it ’till you make it.” And that is exactly what you must do when you set a new goal. You need to talk the talk and walk the walk as if the possibility of not reaching whatever goal you have set for yourself is simply just not an option. It’s already happened — it’s a done deal, no matter what.

When you can adopt that philosophy, your whole world will begin to shift. I know mine did! Oh I know some people look at my like I’m crazy when I say things like “Oh yeah well this time next year my check will be ______”, or “In two years we’re moving into __________ neighborhood”, etc — but in my mind those things are already a reality, and I see no problem sharing my belief with others!

Now don’t get me wrong, you don’t want to go out there blurting all your goals to everyone you meet — if you want to know why, you should check out my blog post on that subject here: http://treasureyourdreams.com/treasure/?p=55

What I’m saying is that you should eventually be able to reach a point when you are completely comfortable with your goals — a point where they are already such a part of your life (through the reality in your mind) that you can’t imagine your future without them! It is at this point that magical things will begin to happen in your life — as long you have the belief to back up the actions, and the actions to back up the belief, you will be unstoppable!

 The quote I leave you with is this (one of my all time favorites), by Paul J. Meyer:

“Whatever you vividly imagine, ardently desire, sincerely believe and enthusiastically act upon must inevitably come to pass.”

As I write this blog, I am sitting in a hotel room in Wilkes Barre, PA (about 2 hours north of Philadelphia) waiting on everyone to begin arriving for our annual company convention.

I know most people think “convention” and immediately imagine stuffy suits and even stuffier meetings, but not me! I think of travelling with my friends, incredible buffets and 70s Disco theme night.

That’s what you have to expect when you travel to a “convention” in my business! I am so blessed to do what I do — to spend time coaching, training and working with some of my closest friends as we watch not only our own dreams come to reality, but the dreams of our team members as well.

We have 4 fun-filled days planned with tours of our corporate headquarters, dinner and a show with the company leaders, a 70s themed disco dance and a Havana Night’s themed night party on the deck. Of course, there will be a few “meetings” too *smile*, but stuffy is not a word I would even begin to use in describing the great presentations we are sure to listen to this week.

Really though, it’s the new friends I will get to meet, and the old friends I will get to reconnect with that I am looking forward to the most! There is truly something to be said about the quality of people you spend your time with — and I spend my time with some pretty incredible people!

I can’t imagine waking up each morning for 40+ years and going to a job I hate. Or even going to a job that I don’t absolutely love! Sure, there are days when you just feel like you need a break — but 99% of the time I wake up excited about each day, and go to sleep feeling completely fulfilled each night. I am so BLESSED!

The best part though, is that it’s not just me! Virtually everyone attending this convention feels the exact same way – and THAT is incredible! To have a business opportunity where people not only don’t HATE what they do, but they genuinely love it — well, it doesn’t get much better than that!
