We all have hopes and dreams. Perhaps we do not acknowledge their presence, but they exist. They are somewhere in the back of our minds, in our hearts, and in our souls. They are part of us. It is time to give them voice. We can believe and they will come true.

Some of us (many of us) have been conditioned to ignore our inner nudges. We start at an early age, and we just keep going and going. We were told what we should be, who we could be, and all of the benefits of fulfilling superimposed roles. We have suffocated within these thick walls. It is time to breath. We can believe in ourselves and honor our deepest desires in life. Our inner nudges are divine.

Looking at an excerpt from A River of Hope:

                                    Belief/ Inspiration

When we belive, we are inspired. When we really believe, great things happen in our lives. When we know in our hearts there is good in the universe and that we are an intricate part of unveiling this good, we embark on the beginning of the spiritual journey. When we decide to embrace destiny, we move even further along the path. We are created to contribute to the good in this world. It all begins with belief. We are created to believe.

When we fully believe in the power of God in the universe and open our hearts to feel this power at work in our own lives, we can be inspired to great levels. We become conduits through which amazing miracles flow. There is no limit to what God can do through us. It all begins with belief in God’s goodness and love, belief in the potential of others, and belief in our own strengths. 

Inspiration is God’s magic. He graces us with thoughts and ideas at unexpected times, and yet his timing is perfect. His love and providence are incredible. When we believe in this, our future is boundless. We can do anything with God’s help. His guidance is unfailing and wonderful. He designed a unique journey for us long ago, before the stars, before there was light. He loved us even then. How much stronger is his love for us when we choose to walk within this design! He will never let us down. When we follow Him, we cannot fail. We can simply believe!  

Believe and it will happen! The sky is not the limit. Our hopes and dreams become reality as we learn to embrace them. But how?

First, we begin by soul searching to discover who we really are. Some of us have been held captive to “existing on the outside”. We have spent a good amount of years squelching our inner desires. We learned at an early age how to act and what to do to achieve love and acceptance. This has carried through to our adult lives.

We rediscover our dreams and desires by pausing to quiet our spirits and open our hearts. This can be done through meditation or even simple time spent relaxing in silence. God speaks through the humble and quiet soul. We connect to the universe in this way. Our destiny is unfolded. Our journeys begin to flow.

Last but not least, we need courage. We can dare to believe in our new discoveries. They may not happen overnight, but it is guaranteed we will gain more faith in our journey if we  learn to trust in God and the universe. We are held. We are loved. We are cherished. It will be alright.

Believe and it will happen!
