Often, we come up with ideas and dreams about achieving what we visualize in our minds. Whether that is going on an adventure, traveling to different places around the world, or even starting a new venture. Whatever it may be, we think of these things, but most often we do not act on them. Why is that? What stops us from doing what we desire and dream of? We tend to come up with excuses as to why it won't happen, whether it is because we don’t have the finances or we use our families or loved ones as an excuse, but truthfully, the main culprit is most often fear. Fear of failure, rejection, and getting hurt are just a few of the many types of fear, but it is fear nonetheless. The question then becomes, how do we overcome this fear?
On the other hand, many people have figured out how to make their dreams a reality. What makes them different? Are these people fearless? Did they figure out a secret formula? Well, technically yes. Whether they do so knowingly or not, they have discovered a huge secret that allows them to succeed. These are some of the thoughts that go through my mind. Am I the only one? I don’t believe so, and this is why I felt led to focus on this topic.
My husband and I are best friends, and we love to talk and share our thoughts. We can spend hours talking and discussing important life topics. We have even worked on figuring out how to make our dreams a reality, and truthfully, we have already begun seeing the fruition of our dreams. But there is still so much work left to be done. What we have discovered is that our dreams must first turn into visions. When we begin envisioning what we desire, we are beginning the process of knowing that this will take place. Believing and knowing are two different things. If anything, believing is the prerequisite to knowing. To envision what you desire, you must quiet the mind and close your eyes, and begin seeing what you desire take place. See yourself doing what you dream of. This has to be done every day, and soon enough, what you see in your mind will begin taking shape. This is the first step to manifestation. We have also realized that manifesting what we desire is tied to faith. Faith is knowing that what is unseen will take place. So this then leads to the ultimate discovery, everything always leads us to the Father. Balance in life is extremely important. Being balanced is necessary to begin working towards your vision. When we are working on balance, and we make God the center of that balance, then we begin to do the work on manifesting our dreams. It is all based on our work. We can not just imagine these things and expect them to just happen — we must work towards what we envision. What does this work look like? The type of work all depends on what you are envisioning, but the work itself has to be consistent, steady, and urgent. This is what leads to the secret formula.

Hi lovely,
This was so encouraging, not stopping at just the dream. Work towards the dream with vision.
Everything links back to faith as you said, believing in the unseen things and working. Faith without works is dead.
All things we see came from someone's idea, dream that they made manifest. Need to definitely deal with the fear or laziness.
Thank you for sharing, it took me quite some time to discover, the work that has to be done first, before the manifestion can take place, to put it another way, we have to put wood in the furnace first before we can expect heat..very insightful topic looking forward to part 2......with love and patience.
