In the beginning of Dream Building, the challenge for most people is allowing themselves the space to answer the question, “What would I love?” In this first week, you will discover your capacity to dream. You will also learn how to apply your best thinking to create a possible life that you would absolutely love to live.
This first lesson will help you learn how to reveal to yourself what it is you really want to be, do, create or give – without limitations. You will be introduced to the basics of DreamBuilding. You will learn that you have the capacity to bring forth your dream, but it will take some work because most people have been trained to look to conditions to determine what they can accomplish.
This second lesson will help you define what you really want, so that you decide for a dream life that you would absolutely love living. What if you gave yourself permission to dream beyond your current reality? Where could these thoughts take you?
In the first week of Dream Building, you learned to open yourself up to the question, “What would I love?” This week, you will take your answer and test it to determine if this possible life is worthy of you.
Lesson 3 will guide you in deciding for and then testing your dream to see if it is worthy of your life’s energy. You are worthy of any dream you can conceive because life deemed you worthy by giving you life. The real question is if the dream is worthy of you! It is important that the dream you put your energy into is one that is in alignment with your purpose and core values.
Now that you have tested your dream to see if it is worthy of you, the next step is increasing your sense of deserving for your dream. The way you perceive yourself and your life plays a huge role in determining the amount of access you have to your true potential. You have the ability to change your perception of anything and it is essential that you change your self-perception or self-image in order to achieve your dream.
Lesson 4 will help you shift your perception of yourself, so that you are ready to change your life for the better. You can never outperform your self-image, but you can always change and improve your image of yourself. Your limiting beliefs cause you to stop dreaming and accept your past and present as all there is to life. By awakening your “roar” and shifting your sense of self, you will move ahead in the process of building your dream.
Lesson 5 will help you amplify your sense of feeling deserving. Throughout your life you probably have had positive experiences that were meaningful, enriching and valuable. However, your inner voice of doubt and judgement may challenge your right and worthiness of such good fortunes. By learning to accept your “Self” and moving into a vibration of gratitude, you will begin to attract the good your mind and heart desires.
Fear is simply the border of the reality you have known and your dream is a life that lives beyond that border. You will come up against fear on the path to achieving your dream. Accomplished DreamBuilders are those who succeed in the presence of their fear, not in the absence of it. This week you will learn how to take your attention off your fear and fix your attention on your dream in order to succeed in building the life that you’d love to live.
Lesson 6 will allow you to bring awareness to your fear. It’s impossible not to have some fear in life, so it’s important you acknowledge your fear and learn how to befriend it. This way, you honor fear’s presence, but kick it out of the driver’s seat in order to advance confidently toward your dream. The next step is to allow this dream to flourish by creating the environment necessary for it to unfold.
In Lesson 7 you will learn strategies and skills for deepening and developing your spiritual muscles for overcoming fear. What you give your attention to, the universe hears as your Intention. Learning to manage the energy that you give to fear, allows you to redirect that same energy towards creating your dreams.
We live in an abundant universe and when you are generous, you align with the one source of the Universe through your way of being. The act of giving aligns you with the Universe’s generosity and opens you up to the circulation of life’s energy. Giving is important, but the other side of that is learning how to receive. This week you will learn the power of giving and the power of receiving, which will bring you closer to your dream.
Lesson 8 will help you understand that you are an abundant being and that it’s your nature to demonstrate success in the areas of your highest interest. Your experience is all about your perception. The way you see the world is not the way another will see it. The power to choose this perception lies within you and can only be altered by you. Life happens through you, so it is only able to occur in the way you allow it to. What you truly focus on, you create more of.
In Lesson 9 you will learn how the action of giving initiates the Law of Receiving. If you are aligned with the generosity of the Source (or Universe), you are open to the flow and experience of ideas, resources, circumstances and people that will help you on your path to your dream. Through selfless giving, you connect with the flow of the Universe and you will receive abundance.
Last week you learned the power of giving and receiving, which flows right into this week’s lesson on forgiveness. Forgiveness is widely misunderstood as an act for another person. However, as you will learn, forgiveness is actually for yourself!
You will learn in Lesson 10 to evaluate your life so that you may discover where you can practice forgiveness in order to release any remaining constriction or resentment from your mind. You now know that in order to receive abundance, you must give. Forgiving is one way that you give to yourself. You must give up the negative perceptions of people and things that have hurt you in the past in order to allow yourself to receive the positive.
As you now know, forgiveness is giving up one perception for a higher perception of something. This is a very powerful practice, so this week you will focus on forgiveness at an even deeper level by learning how to implement it on a regular repeated basis.
Lesson 11 will teach you how to consciously forgive yourself and others on a regular basis because resentment can creep back in even if it was previously forgiven. Forgiveness can be difficult and should not be expected to happen all at once but in increments over time. When you forgive, you change the way you look at things. Through forgiveness you develop compassion and you are able to see beyond what is present.
Now that you’ve gained insight into how and why you practice forgiveness, you will learn how to recognize your intuition, or your “still, small voice.” Your intuition is your inner voice that is your life speaking to you and if you listen closely, it will guide you toward the life you’d love to live.
Lesson 12 will teach you how to listen to your intuition on a deeper level. As you listen to it more, you become happier. Your intuition, or inner voice, is always existent in your life but you may not always recognize it. Everyone has this inner voice and most people know that it guides them on the right path, but they do not always listen. Building a familiarity with this inner guide is going to allow you to find answers to your questions within yourself.
Your intuition will help guide you toward the life you’d love to live, but there will be times where you will have difficulty believing in yourself. It is actually impossible to build your dream life on your own, so this week you will learn how to create a support system of people who truly care about you.
In Lesson 13 you will see an actual, tested and working process for creating the support system you need to navigate the gap between where you are now and where you are in your dream. When you are unable to believe in yourself, it is good practice to surround yourself with others that believe in you. Creating a group of supporters who have your best interests at heart and have a strong belief in you even when you do not, will help propel you to achieve your dreams. Your purpose is to reciprocate this support by believing in your supporters and holding them in high regard.
After learning how to establish your partners in believing, the next step is to help each other access answers to your current challenges. This will take some work, so this week you will learn specific strategies that you and your partners in believing can use that will shift your thinking from your problems to definite solutions.
Lesson 14 will help you be more receptive of the ever-present abundance of the infinite. By shifting your thoughts to be more compatible with answers, insight and inspiration, you will essentially “empty your cup” so the Universe can fill it with its abundance. You’re not expected to go through the process of building your dreams alone. Having a believing partner to encourage you along the way and believing in the dreams of others, is part of the process. Taking the steps to identify your believing partners and making the commitment to encourage each other on a regular basis leads to a new way of thinking.
Even if you follow your intuition and gain valuable solutions from your partners in believing everyday, you will most likely still encounter some failure along your Dream Building journey. This week you will learn how to properly look at your failures, so that they don’t stop you in your tracks on your path toward the life you’d love to live.
Lesson 15 will help change your perception of failure from a stumbling block into a stepping stone. Through failure you may be receiving a new direction for your dream, or the Universe may be directing you to something that’s much greater for you. Failure is not a step back or an obstacle, it is a learning opportunity that will help you determine your path to building your dream.
As you approach the conclusion of this program, recognize that you have now defined your dream, tested it, increased your sense of deserving for it, you faced your fears, you gave and received, you practiced forgiveness, you listened to your intuition, you created a support system and you changed your perception on failure. Give yourself a pat on the back for all the hard work you have already done because you deserve it! In this final week of the DreamBuilder™ Program, you will learn why the journey to get to your dream life is actually the best gift of the whole process.
This 16th and last lesson in the DreamBuilder process will help you understand the feeling of amplified aliveness that you will experience or may have already experienced as you are building your dream. The point of building a dream is not to get to the end and then start enjoying life. The journey in getting there is part of the gift. It is important to enjoy each day and celebrate who you are as you build the dream.
