Of course we do need to keep working at it, but holding the vision close makes the process more natural and reduces resistance.

Although I have an idea of where I want to go I think the trouble is making sure I stay on the right path. <a href="http://www.asparkstarts.com/2010/07/is-there-an-easy-way-out/" rel="nofollow">Is there an easy way out?</a> I have found there isn't. You have to keep working hard until you get where you want to go. As I stop and think about my “vision” I get excited about the possibilities if I can maintain my effort and course.

Dreams are like gardens, they need to be cultivated and nurtured. They need to be assigned value and shown respect or they get trampled down in the name of being realistic. Every great discovery and invention has been the result of someone refusing to abandon their vision. The greatest potential of each individual human resides in our vision. We can all choose to unlock that potential and grow into the best possible version of ourselves. The possibilities are enormous, but very few are truly aware of it. I guess I was hoping to stimulate some awareness. Thanks for being here Robin, it means more than you know. Hugs and gratitude.
