Dream A Little Dream.
\nBe Afraid.\u00a0 Be Very, Very, Afraid.
\nThe Chance of a Lifetime.
\nThe Sky is Falling\u2026 The Sky is Falling.<\/p>\n

These are some messages we get in this life.\u00a0 In this society.\u00a0\u00a0 Among many others\u2026. which can be totally contradictory.<\/p>\n

Which brings me to this.\u00a0 Are you a logical thinker, or a creative thinker\u2026. or a little bit of both.\u00a0\u00a0 I think most people are both.\u00a0 I am\u2026. I think.\u00a0 Therefore I am.\u00a0 Yep.<\/p>\n

Lately, I\u2019ve been wondering about this.\u00a0 Many people give up on their true goals and ambitions only to settle for things in life which they are not so thrilled about.\u00a0 Mostly\u2026. because it appears to be good insurance.\u00a0 You know\u2026 a job, a relationship, a habit.<\/p>\n

Most of the time\u2026 we seem to like things to be status quo. We sort of settle for circumstances that will at least keep us where we are\u2026 or slightly better than the next guy.\u00a0 This is what society\u2026 and logical thinking\u2026\u00a0 tells us.\u00a0\u00a0 There are the things we are \u201csupposed\u201d to do to be fulfilled and happy.<\/p>\n

Dude\u2019s with funny names often come up with good quotes.\u00a0 So.\u00a0 As Deepak Chopra said, \u201cThe universe has no restrictions. You place restrictions on the universe with your expectations.\u201d<\/p>\n

If we could only believe this statement to be true.\u00a0 If we took the ball and ran with it.\u00a0 If we could just start expecting to live the life we have always wanted.\u00a0\u00a0 Would it become an actuality?<\/p>\n

Now\u2026 this next one\u2026 I am learning from our chickens.\u00a0 In all honesty, I was highly familiar with it before the New Hampshires came to eat and poop here.\u00a0 Also\u2026 before they were acting like big chickens\u2026 or Chicken Little.<\/p>\n

And here it is\u2026.. The single most debilitating emotion we as humans possess is fear.<\/p>\n

There are so very many fears to list.\u00a0 It could be fear of change, fear of failure, fear of what others think of us.\u00a0 Or maybe we fear of success.\u00a0 It seems that fear is undoubtedly the biggest thing that holds us back from going after our hopes, our goals, our dreams.<\/p>\n

Fear often disguises itself as logical thinking.\u00a0\u00a0 \u201cThat could be risky\u2026 blah, blah, blah.\u201d<\/p>\n

If we are always expecting things to “not be that great”\u2026.\u00a0 then how in the heck can we expect any differently?\u00a0 Things can be great\u2026. I think. We limit our existence.\u00a0 Right there and then.<\/p>\n

But.\u00a0 If we try thinking creatively\u2026. we open ourselves up to all sorts of possibilities.\u00a0\u00a0 New and different solutions, and ways of doing things.\u00a0\u00a0 We can start to recognize opportunities for growth and \u2026. and utilize our specific gifts and talents.<\/p>\n

I hope this next part is true.\u00a0 Because a lot of big thinkers\u2026 have said it before.\u00a0 The universe wants us to be happy and in love with our lives.\u00a0 IT\u2026 the whole clockworks of IT\u2026. needs you to be\u2026.. and me to be me.\u00a0 And we to be we.\u00a0 Each one of us has our very own gifts and talents\u2026 everything that makes us completely unique.\u00a0 And when we see it\u2026 use it\u2026 and share it\u2026 we our giving our gift to humanity.\u00a0 To one another.<\/p>\n

If you change the way you look at things, the things you look at change.\u00a0 —\u00a0 <\/span>Wayne Dyer<\/strong><\/em><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
