Dreams

When I first met her she was a waitress. Although she enjoyed serving her customers and getting to know them , she wanted an increased sense of satisfaction in her work. She decided to train to become a mortgage broker by working her way up in the company. She enjoyed helping people secure mortgages for their homes and the resources being very successful afforded her. By that time she had a home she loved and she decided to become a real estate agent to more directly help other people find a house they loved that felt like home.
After many years in the real estate business she was disillusioned and wanted work where she felt like she could make more of a direct contribution to helping the people she most wanted to help, women, children and seniors. She courageously quit her job, and began to live on her savings and volunteer. She began to participate in many different projects, helping the people she most wanted to help. She was afraid that her money would run out. She kept giving of her time anyway, meeting lots of people and doing what she loved. Because of her background in the food industry and her love of cooking she began to gather food and cook it and distribute it to people in need. She became a volunteer fund raising event coordinator for organizations who supported women, children and seniors. Her dream was to find a job as the head of an organization who helped the people she most wanted to help. She wanted to be able to support herself doing what she loved to do. She also learned to practice Psych-K and began to work through all of the unconscious negative beliefs she had in the way of deserving to have what she wanted. She learned to give of herself and to take care of herself at the same time.
Today I received a letter from her. She wrote to say she has just been awarded her dream job.
She is now the executive director of an organization that makes a huge contribution to helping needy seniors in Denver. They are so lucky to have her. She is such an inspiration to me about doing what it takes to make things happen, both internally and in the outside world. I am glad to know her and to be able to share her story with you.
Do you have a dream that her story can inspire you with? What would it take to challenge your beliefs that it could never happen? Who could you talk to about it to get support?
I read a quote the other day that said, "Goals are dreams with a deadline." What would your first small step be in realizing your dream? When might you begin?
