The Myth of the dream
Often we will hear someone say it takes a long time to build success. We don’t like that because we think that we will have to wait for years before we can experience the feelings that we think our picture of perfection will give us. This is our first mistake. First of all, you have to know that when you achieve your external circumstance that you feel is perfect, it won’t be perfect.
You will have problems and challenges there just as much as you have them now. They may be different but they will still be there. Your picture of perfection is not a destination it’s simply another set of experiences along your way.
Many of us have desired something however haven’t even started down the path towards it because we feel it will take too long before we are able to feel the feelings of obtaining it. For example, imagine someone watching a concert pianist and wishing to be able to play like that but not taking lessons! We feel it will take too long before we can experience the feeling of playing so we never even start to learn.
The good news is you can feel those feelings you desire right now. The secret is that those feelings are what you will experience as soon as you start to take steps towards your dream. When you understand that it’s always about the journey and not the destination you will begin to feel the feelings of being at your destination as you, step by step, head in that direction.
