As we begin this new year I have a very interesting question for you to ponder….

What will it take to become the person you “really” are underneath your conditioned limitations?

I ask you that question because it was a question I have needed to ask myself at different points in my life, points  where I was feeling stuck and the voice in my head was saying not to take a risk because: “I couldn’t make it, ask for it, afford it, etc.

There comes a point where we have to decide if we will give into the voice that is so often echoes the voices of family, “friends“, the media and even the government. I had to decide if I would do what it took, because like my inspiration Martin Luther King Jr I have a dream that is bigger than the conditioning I received.

To become the man, teacher, human being I aspired to be I realized I would have to not only dream but I would have to learn how to turn the dreams into reality. For that to happen, I have had to learn to become what my friend and vocal coach Arthur Joseph calls a “practical dreamer”.

I realized I must be the example of someone who didn’t merely dream or fantasize about what I want in my life, but strive to make ‘the dream’ come true and in doing so, show others how to fulfill their dreams and to make them “real.”

In order to do this the next question is:

What are you ‘committed’ to learn in order to fulfill your dream, to make it real?

That leads us to ask:

What opportunities can ‘they’ not see that you know you must follow NOW?

You can be certain of this: To get to your dreams you must be willing to do what others will not do, be what others dare not be and take risks that the fearful will call foolish.

Remember in the free video Resonating Riches Course I gave you: The fourth foundation was: The Resonance of Confidence.

On your journey I wish you the courage to manage your risk to do what ‘you MUST do’, and the courage to take the risks to “Dream the Possible Dream,” that ‘they’ say is impossible.

I challenge you to risk more than Others believe is Safe, Care more than Others think is Wise,

Dream more than Others think is Practical.  Expect more than Others think is Possible!

I look forward to your feedback. With Gratitude I say: Manage your fears by becoming a practical dreamer.  Dov…
