Beyond Your Fear Is A Whole New You
We all have fear about something in our lives. It could be rejection, loss, failure, or any other emotions like anchors dragging behind us and holding us back from doing what we want in life.

We push away friends and family or polluting the possibility of creating new friends and seeing new opportunities.

Dreams come to you at night for a reason
They sometimes do not come for days or weeks. They sometimes come in waves. Sometimes, just sometimes, they come so clear and vibrant it feels like they touch your very soul. But there is a reason dreams come to you in your sleep. Dreams need your undivided attention. Dreams need the canvas of your mind to express the subconscious and plant important information that one day will trigger a response. What that response will be is not always be clear. But it does have your undivided attention.

Once in particular I remember once having an entire corporation drawn out from top to bottom with about seven or eight different product lines and revenue streams. All I needed to do was start with one of them in some shape or form. But I didn’t.
