Rungs of Wisdom"If you think back on it, haven't your dreams all come true, whether good or bad? The thing is to concentrate on manifesting your positive, happy dreams."
Patty Mooney
San Diego Video Production
Patty comments on her quote
I loved the movie “Gran Torino.” As someone who grew up in Detroit, I recognized several of the places shown in the movie. In particular, the closing scene during the credit roll was a view of Lakeshore Drive on Lake St. Clair, where I used to ride my bicycle as a teenager and then I’d sit on the grass and visualize my future.
What I wanted more than anything was to be a writer living in California with my soulmate. Every single element of that dream seemed way out there, and almost impossible, but in time, by focusing on it, I made that dream come true. I’m now a video producer, writer, poet and blogger living in San Diego with my husband, Mark, who is my business partner; together we own and operate Crystal Pyramid Productions of San Diego. Not only did my dream come to fruition; it turned out to be even better than I had at first envisioned.
Many times I observe someone struggling and basically sabotaging themself by manifesting negative circumstances. For instance, they might say something like “I’ll be happy when….” Remember, there is no “when”; there is only “now.” If you can strive to be happy in the now, then you are going somewhere! Or someone may say: “I can’t…..” Eliminate the word “can’t” from your language and take your power back. If you don’t want to do something, then admit it. But “can’t” is a word of powerlessness.
Own your feelings. Instead say “I won’t.” Isn’t that much more convincing than “I can’t”? The universe is out there listening to your thoughts and your sentiments. The universe moves in the direction in which you tell it you want to move. So stop sabotaging your forward momentum. Center yourself, take a deep breath, figure out what you want, and go for it.
