The Power of Dreams

There is so much power in the ability to dream. I'm not referring to the type of dreaming that you do when you are sleep. More so, I am referring to the types of dreams that fall in the category of "Dreams, Goals, and Aspirations." Sometimes, I look at little children and the hope that they have in what the future holds. They constantly dream and use their imagination to visualize things as though they were. As adults, I wish we took the time to slow down an dream more. We would truly understand the power of a dream. Everyone dreams, in some form or another. Honda developed a very successful advertising campaign called, "The Power of Dreams" and Celine Dion had a hit song that shared the same title. There is also a Rock Band that calls them selves the Power of Dreams.


Some groups of people who study the subconscious delve deeper into the power of our dreams but as a lay person, I can be a witness to the fact that dreams do indeed have power. They drive us toward certain successes and maintain our energy when attempting to complete a goals. Dreams help us to see the big picture and stay focused as we take small steps. Dreams help us to imagine the impossible and bring out the best in us.

Here are some tips on how to incorporate dreaming into your life:

• Be around people and things that inspire you
• Always continue to learn new things. Try to strategically learn at least one new thing a day.
• Dreams are best when you are relaxed. Find new ways to relax yourself.
• Spend time around children. Their imagination will rub off on you.
• Colors usually help to inspire dreams. A world of only black and white can be very dull.
• Instead of asking "why," ask "why not"
• Tell people about some of your dreams. They may be able to add information that turns them into reality
• Make a conscience effort to wonder about things
• Incorporate meditation into your daily or weekly routine
• Use sounds and smells to help you have time to dream. I love candles that remind me of nature (which I love) and I love my "Whale Sounds" CD's

Happy Dreaming!

June 16, 2009 AUPA Tip Tuesday: Never underestimate the power of a connection. Connecting w/ others can create opportunities that one cannot create alone.

June 23, 2009 AUPA Tip Tuesday: Write down the vision. Not only is it biblical but studies have shown that documentation helps 1 stay focused on the goal.

July 7, 2009 AUPA Tip Tuesday: Perfect your listening/interpretation skills! No matter how good you are at what you do, if you don't know what the client needs, you will have know idea on how to provide the best services.

July 28, 2009 AUPA Tip Tuesday: Use your resources! Many times we overlook the people or tools that are available to us that lie right under our noses. Multiple programs, people, and situations are available for you if only you seek and keep an open mind. If someone or something may be helpful to your "agenda", don't pass up the opportunity to include them (or it).
