No Vacancy

Living a Full Life is what I am Inn-spired to do.  There is no room for emptiness.  I only wish for my heart to be full.

Isn't that the life we should all be leading?  If not, what's the point of pretending...of faking your way through it?  Who would you be fooling, but yourself?

We all reserve the right to change our minds - to choose another path.   It's all perfectly within our control.

At first, I felt as though following my Sweet Dream meant abandoning all the things I already knew.  But I believe I was wrong.  

You don't need to abandon things entirely, to allow other things in.  For instance, perhaps I need not forsake my current profession for what I dare to dream.  Instead, I can use the former as a Base from which to launch my Sweetest Dream.  

It's funny how the things you picture in your mind can seem so clear - until you focus in on what's missing from the scene.  Sometimes a snapshot in time - can make you shutter.  What goes on behind the Perfect Smiles?  It's hard to really know.  If pictures speak a thousand words...then in their silence, I was deafened.  

It's that awakening - that can cause you to question whether you'll ever fit into the frame.  We all fit into some frame...it just depends on who or what is behind the camera and if they see you through their lens.

The point is...to focus not solely on dreaming the Dream...but making that Dream Real.  Taking into account all things to be sure you are moving forward in a way that can fulfill you in the end.

You may start to realize that what you thought was Realistic...isn't.  That it was merely a figment of your imagination...something that has no intention of becoming Real.

It's at that point, your expectations adjust (for better or for worse) and slowly you recognize the need to possibly change course.  The need to turn the switch.  It's nature's way of taking over - a certain self-defense. 

Possibility comes in many forms and there's no one way to find it.  Just remain open to it and it will find you.  If you look for Excuses, though, as to why things shouldn't be or why the timing isn't right - you will always find them.  Unlike opportunities, excuses are in endless supply.  

Sometimes what you're running from...is exactly what holds you back.  Isn't that the darndest thing?  It takes a leap of faith...a courage not all of us possess.

Let's face it... you can't force your Fate.  It needs to have the strength and resolve to take its own course.  It doesn't wait for something else to chart its path.  That wouldn't be the Destiny I choose.

If it doesn't come knocking at your door refusing to be turned away...then perhaps you're not its Home Sweet Home.  

And that's okay.  It will all work out Perfectly.  This much I know. 

I just need to leave that door unlocked, or at least a key beneath the mat.

Sweet Dreams, 
Me
