“I have a dream “said Martin Luther King Jr.
“I have a dream that one day this nation will
rise up and live out the true meaning of its
creed: "We hold these truths to be self-
evident: that all men are created equal."
From the "I Have a Dream" speech,
Aug. 28, 1963
Martin Luther King Jr. had a huge dream
and as many of us remember, he died for his
dream of fairness and equality for all of his
countrymen.
Bill Gates had a dream that every home would have a computer; another big dream
that thankfully for most of us has come true. If it hadn’t I would not be sending out
this newsletter.
So what has this got to do with us ordinary folk?
We do not have to be a Martin Luther King Jr. or a Bill Gates to have a dream and
we don’t have to die for it either.
It is important, however, to have a dream to work towards. Some people dream big,
some people dream small. However, if you can dream a small dream you may as
well make it as big as you can. Small dreams take just as much effort as big ones.
Some people find it easy to hang onto their dream no matter what happens or how
long it takes for them to realize their dream.
Some people had a dream when they were young but had their dreams quashed by
their relatives, teacher or friends who ridiculed their dreams and did not support
them. To have your dreams squashed by someone who is an “authority” in your life
is very hurtful. It undermines your self confidence and belief in yourself. So when you
are in this situation it is very easy to give up and let the dream go.
I have a dream. I let it go for a while because I became distracted by other things.
However, I have it back now and I am hanging on to it like mad.
My dream is to be a part of a centre where families and individuals come to heal their
pain and trauma. A place of peace and sanctuary where a group of talented
therapists and some beautiful animals bring peace and healing into damaged lives. I
don’t know how I am going to realize this dream, but maybe that doesn’t matter. The
journey is teaching me so much.
Do you have a dream? Do you tell anyone your dream? What are you doing to work
towards realizing your dream? Are you already living your dream?
It is important to share your dream with the people that you trust to help you keep
your dream alive. We can’t do it by ourselves. I know that to be true as I have tried
and it didn’t work!
If you would like to, Email me and tell me about your dream. Perhaps we can help
each other to keep our dreams alive.
A few words about clutter
We all have it in various degrees. It lurks in our
cupboards, our garages and sheds. It creeps across the
floor of our rooms and sometimes up the walls. It saps
our energy and often makes us miserable.
Here’s a thought: let’s create an “Anti-Clutter Day”. A bit
like “Clean up Australia Day” but rather than being on a
national level, “Anti-Clutter Day” would be on a personal
level.
It would be a day when we throw out (or donate to a
charity shop for re-cycling) all the “stuff” that we no
longer need. It would be a day when we free ourselves
from the grip of “Clutter”. You will feel so much better
when you let go of all the things that you no longer need.
Letting go of clutter is not just about “stuff” it is also
about letting go of other things in your life that no longer
serve you. It can be letting go of relationships that do
not support you. It can be letting go of a job that makes
you miserable. It can be letting go of old beliefs and
thought patterns that clutter up your mind and hold you
back in life.
My suggestion to you:
Take the time to tidy up your home, your office and
your life. Free yourself from clutter. Enjoy the process
of letting go of all the “old stuff”. If you would like some
help Email me.
Having cleared our your “clutter” you now have the time and space to enjoy what is
really important in your life.
Until next time,
Best Wishes,
Hilary
