What creates a spark for you? What motivates you to change from one way of being to another?
Hopes are optimistic wishes for positive future outcomes that are perceived as achievable. Dreams are aspirational goals, visions, or fantasies for the future, ranging from personal aspirations to global desires.
Both hopes and dreams provide motivation and purpose, and they can help us overcome challenges and strive for a better life. Our hopes act as the fundamental belief in a positive future, and hopes are the seeds of our dreams.
Our longing to fulfill our potential awakens these seeds within us. But for the seeds to activate and change state, ignition is required. We need a spark for activation of potential, much like the heat of fire causes ice to become water and water to become steam.
Any gardener or farmer will tell you that the optimal conditions for seeds to sprout and flourish combine specific amounts of sunshine, water, nutrients, and warmth. But we also know that seeds sometimes take root in tiny inhospitable cracks on the pavement or on windswept rocky outcrops.
Some seeds seem to defy all logic, and despite what appears to us as their apparent lack of available resources, they find a way to thrive. They do what is theirs to do.
The seeds of our dreams are embedded into the fabric of our souls. Each one of us has our own individual packet of seeds and our own infinite potential. You and I each have deeply seeded desires, the particulars of which are unique. Each of us is required to do what is ours to do.
As we become aware of our inner treasures and dreams, we are charged with the responsibility to bring these intentions to life, to manifest them. Each of us doing our part catapults us into dimensions beyond our insecurities or shortcomings, into a sphere of awareness and expression, infused with the finest aspects of our being, where we enjoy who we are and the whole of creation.
The desires of your heart reside within you because you are the right person to bring them to life, no matter what opinion you hold about yourself or others hold of you. As we make peace with who we are as people, recognizing ourselves from an Akashic altitude of compassion and appreciation, our authentic destiny emerges.
When life feels chaotic, the falling away of old structures and ideas creates a space for something new and wonderful to emerge. This is the stuff of dreams. In many ways, times that seem difficult to navigate are the best times to co-create the future you desire.
When our conscious understanding catches up to our ideals, our dreams begin to come true. Nothing can stop this process in our own everyday lives, and nothing can stop this process in our larger destiny as a beautiful and unique point of light in the brilliant Universe.
Whatever your soul has been seeking, you eventually will find it, simply because you can only desire that which is already yours. Because your dreams live within you, the dreams themselves signal that you already have within you all you need to make them come true.
Our hopes and dreams become a blueprint for our future if that is our desire.
