Awakening to Unlimited Possibilities - Listen to Katheryn's podcast report - click here!

Did you know that after a caterpillar creates the chrysalis and he needs to become a butterfly, his body turns completely to liquid? After awhile the liquid re-forms itself into a butterfly. I suppose that I am living in a "liquid butterfly" transitional state, a state of pure possibility and potential.  We all are. Maybe we just don’t realize it. We are only limited or unlimited by how we choose to use our imaginations.

Why dream small when you can dream big, expand your horizons, raise the ceiling or break through it!

Let’s do some research and take a look at what is possible.  I’ve heard it said that to accomplish great things, we must not only act, but also dream; not only plan, but also believe”. So I ask you, are you living the dream you set out to dream? Do you even have a dream? Are you sure that dream is big enough and can you visualize yourself living it? Most of the time, we've either forgotten our dreams or didn't have one to start out with. As Victor Hugo said, "There is nothing like a dream to create the future." Let’s discover the ways to turn your dreams into reality.

 “If you have built castles in the air, your work need not be lost; that is where they should be.  Now put the foundations under them.” Thoreau

Last week on Inspired at Home Radio, Jo Packham shared her favorite quote, " What would you do if you knew that you could not fail?"  Jana Stanfield sings that phrase in the opening line of “If I Were Brave”. How about that?  How different might our dreams be if we knew that we could not fail?  Why not live every day with that confidence and see just how many dreams you can make come true?

When I was a child I had a poster in my room with a beautiful leaping ballerina that said “if you can imagine it, you can achieve it, if you can dream it you can become it!!” Imagine, dream, believe and become. To this day, I still believe those words that I read every night before I fell asleep. They are true! So many of my dreams have come true in my life and I am ready now to break through my self imposed ceiling of dreams and to redefine what is possible. To create a new vision and let it become my north star guiding me along my new path.

 Henry David Thoreau reminds us “If one advances confidently in the direction of his dreams, and endeavors to live the life which he has imagined, he will meet with a success unexpected in common hours."

And finally in the immortal words of Eleanor Roosevelt. “The future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams!”

Hey that means that the future belongs to us! There is no time like today to dream big and turn those dreams into reality!

"If I Were Brave" - Jana Stanfield - www.janastanfield.com

What would I do, if I knew that I could not fail?
If I believed, would the wind always fill up my sail?
How far would I go? What could I achieve,
trusting the hero in me?

If I were brave, I’d walk the razor’s edge,
where fools and dreamers dare to tread.
I'd never lose faith, even when losing my way.
What step would I take today, if I were brave?

What would I do today, if I were brave?
What would I do today, if I were brave?

What if we’re all meant to do what we secretly dream?
What would you ask, if you knew you could have anything?
Like the mighty oak sleeps, in the heart of a seed,
are there miracles in you and me?

If I were brave, I’d walk the razor’s edge,
where fools and dreamers dare to tread.
I'd never lose faith, even when losing my way.
What step would I take today, if I were brave?

What would I do today, if I were brave?
What would I do today, if I were brave?

If I refuse to listen to the voice of fear,
would the voice of courage whisper in my ear?

If I were brave, I’d walk the razor’s edge,
where fools and dreamers dare to tread.
I'd never lose faith, even when losing my way.
What step would I take today, if I were brave?

What would I do today, if I were brave?
What would I do today, if I were brave?
