Make Your Dreams Come True

INTRODUCTION:

Many of you have heard about treasure maps. A number of friends and clients have used treasure maps as part of my coaching services. This tool has enabled them to make their dreams more visual and real.
Examples of realized dreams include Janet’s change from accounting to a position in business development with an international company. Mitch’s realized dream was creating great prosperity and attracting wonderful new clients he could serve as a consultant. Linda’s dream was accomplished also with the help of a treasure map. Her goal was to create better self-esteem and a healthy fit body. Linda lost forty pounds in the course of a few months, and has regained her self-esteem through both inner and outer work.

I am going to give you an example of my personal experience and a fantastic dream that was realized. Seven years ago, I took out an 81/2” by 11” cardboard, and pasted white paper to it. I found pictures of Sedona Arizona, where my husband and I have enjoyed vacation numerous times. Sedona is a beautiful desert area with magnificent red rock formations.

A picture of one of the most photographed views of Sedona, Cathedral Rock, was pasted at the top of my treasure map. Next to it was written, “Great views from the house!” Below was a picture of a large home with red rocks just behind it.

The caption next to it read: “Our beautiful spacious home!” Other words were written such as how the house is secluded, with a writer’s studio and everything is decorated in a style we love. Under the photo of another view, I put Breathtaking Beauty. Lift your spirit and soothe your mind. And finally I added the words “We can easily afford our home. Thank you Universal Spirit.”

On a trip to Sedona, we were just about to purchase another house. The realtor who was helping us siad, "There is one more property that has incredible views..." Through the pouring rain, we walked up the steps and immediately knew that this was the property we wanted.

If you are familiar with Sedona, you might guess which of the three views we had- that is most prominent from the house. You guessed it-Cathedral Rock- the one at the top of my treasure map. All the details written on the treasure map became a reality.

By the way, it was a great investment and we have since purchased two other properties. Our Napa wine country property with 22 acres and 4 acres of high quality Cabernet grapes is featured on my website.

Why am I telling you this story? I am not bragging. I am sharing this with you because you too can create and realize amazing success and financial prosperity.

SO ARE YOU READY TO PLAY? Because your deepest heartfelt dreams can come true.

Here is one tool, the treasure map, that you will have lots of fun with-I promise! Your dream may be realized at any time, as long as you believe it can come true. It may happen tomorrow, or in one month, or longer, depending on the size of the dream and what steps are involved to make it happen. Therefore patience and trust come into play.

First, take a few moments, or as long as you need, to decide what dream you would like to realize at this time. It may be as simple as taking a long awaited trip to an exotic or exciting place. It may be a business project, if it really inspires you. You could decide that you are ready for a new wardrobe, a new car, or that you would like to improve your living space. It may be a sentimental dream including family or loved ones.

WRITE YOUR DREAM HERE:

If you need more space, get a blank piece of paper. Describe your dream as vividly as possible. Use words that inspire you, that bring up joyful feelings, and that really allow you to get a sense of your dream being real.

Next, find a piece of lightweight cardboard, or some kind of backing, and then paste ordinary white paper to use as a background for your dream. Now comes the fun part! Look in magazines for photos or written phrases that correspond to your dream. You can also write your phrases on the computer and paste those onto the treasure map. You might use pictures you have taken yourself to include as well.

When you write these phrases or sentences, make sure they are written in the present tense. For example, “As I serve others with my natural talents and skills, I also receive an abundance of financial prosperity.” Or, “I am more and more fit and healthy each day.” Writing and speaking in the present moment is important. If you put your goals or intentions in the future, then you hold your results out there in the future as well.

You can learn more about this process through using the Law of Attraction, a highly effective tool all my clients practice.

Once you are finished with your treasure map, be sure to put it somewhere that you can see it every day. Our treasure map for the house was next to the kitchen where we saw it each time we passed by. The more visual it is, the more real it becomes!

One good way to reinforce the realization of your dream is to take one of the affirmations you have written for your treasure map, and put it on an index card. You can affirm this phrase from time to time. Another way is to write about it in your daily or weekly writing journal.

What else do you need to know? Watch for people and opportunities that emerge on your path. For example, someone may talk to you about a class or courses they just heard about, that can help you to achieve your goals. A loved one may come up with an idea that inspires you to take a step you might not have taken otherwise, that is related to your dream.

One other aspect that I can only touch upon here, is the importance of enjoying the present moment and the process of creating. It's not just what we achieve, it's how happy and "present" we are in the moment. This quality is core to being in a state of trust and surrender- thus attracting what we desire into our daily life. If we become too "attached" to the outcome, we push away what we want. By remaining calm and "unattached" good things come our way!

If you are unsure what your desires are, you can listen to an excerpt from Finding Your Dreams, and Living With Purpose here: www.marciehunt.com/products.htm By the way, the cover to this CD is a personal photo taken while on vacation in Sedona, Arizona.

So is there any reason why you would not follow up and create this treasure map for your dream? If you don’t take time to invest in the most effective ways to realize your life goals, then lasting success is likely to pass you by. You deserve to live a powerful life.

"I am opening up to receiving and achieving the realization of my most cherished dreams."

Each day, I notice what people, situations and opportunities come into my life. Everything and everyone on my path has meaning. I may be here to help them, or they may be a part of supporting my dream, or both. Even small events that occur can be a step toward my dream. I follow my intuition, and act upon guidance and support that I receive.

There is no right or wrong here. Just be aware of your surroundings, and pay attention to the signs. Then follow up and take action!
