  Introduction

  To make your dream reality, you need two things: belief that you can do it, and the power to do it. That’s what this book is about. A dream that you don’t truly believe in is a dream unrealized. That’s the key message of the first part of this book, “Believing in Your Dreams.” A strong belief system is what underlies your thoughts, feelings, attitudes and judgments, which in turn determine whether or not you will take the necessary action to make your dream happen. In the second part of this book, “Tapping Your Inner Wisdom,” I discuss strategies for tapping into the magic inside you: the inner wisdom, energy and creativity that will open you up to the possibility of your dream becoming real and help you learn from and share your unique gifts with others.

  BELIEVING IN YOUR DREAMS

  In the early stages of creating a dream, there isn’t always evidence that your idea is a good one, or that this is the right time to launch it. The same is true about a big dream, like doing less and having more.

  During this time, what is essential is that you believe in your vision. At the very least, you’ll need to have a belief that will support you in moving from where you are to where you want to be. Ninety-nine percent of more than 250 family physicians surveyed from across the country said they thought a patient’s beliefs can even aid in healing. In other words, having a strong belief system is much more than just a nice idea. A strong belief is essential.

  Your beliefs become the necessary foundation to support you in moving forward in your new life. Since our attitudes and beliefs determine the choices and decisions we make, your beliefs will either empower you or impede you.

  NEVER NEUTRAL

  Your beliefs are never neutral. They either move you forward or hold you back. If you dream of a life of ease but you don’t believe it’s possible, watch how quickly you’ll prove yourself right. But if you take the same dream—to have a life of ease— and act as though you believe in it, you will take different actions. If we don’t believe in our dreams, we either abandon or sabotage them. If we do believe in our dreams, we’ll at least begin the process of seeing where the dream will take us.
