If you’re going for something, really GOING for something, you have to be willing to reach high and dig deep.

Reaching High

Like a fine vase.  On that oh-so high top shelf.

You’re going to need a well-balanced stepping stool to reach that top shelf, where it’s been carefully placed for safekeeping.

And when you grab the stepping stool, slap it down in a close-enough place thinking you can make a quick climb, you find out all too soon your poor judgment as you and the stool topple over.  Thankfully you didn’t take the vase with you.

Second go around.  You carefully position the stepping stool for your best advantage to safely reach the top shelf, steady yourself and carefully bring the vase securely to the countertop.

It’s like that in anything new, different and extraordinary that you want.  Sometimes that vase (your dream or desire)  has to be carefully reached for. Step by guided, well-placed step.

Digging Deep

Whatever’s hidden deep within sitting right next to that dream will be the obstacle or obstacles you’ll have to overcome to set that dream fully free.

Some say you’re foolish, it’s out of your reach, it’s too high, too late.   Just settle for something ordinary. You may be fighting with yourself about that deep desire of your heart.

But then the dream begins to ache and quiver in your soul again.  And you know it has a life all its own and will come to pass, if you nurture and care for it.

Whatever word you find to shout down the inner or outer naysaying, find it.  One I heard years ago was from one of Nathaniel Branden’s teaching tapes is ‘balderdash’.  Love that word.

So, balderdash.  In other words, ‘nonsense’. 

Start affirming –  I will receive what has been placed inside me to dream, nurture and hold close until its fruition.

That carefully hidden dream is your key to new life.
