Are you headed in the direction of your dreams or do you feel as if you are spinning your wheels and staying in one place? Or are you marching forward but NOT in the direction of your dreams, hoping to change course eventually and get back on track?
One thing I know about the 21st Century is that Time is speeding up. The clock still ticks away 24 hours every day but they seem to be passing more quickly than those same 24 hours used to pass. There is a sense of urgency about doing our work in the World, living our Purpose. Do you feel it, too?
I think this is why so many people are feeling frustrated with jobs, with situations, with politics, with anything that seems to be stuck in old patterns that are not moving forward. We are all feeling a drive to manifest our dreams NOW.
This isn’t to advocate impatience but to urge you to examine yourself and your life and to be brutally honest with yourself. Are you on the path to the realization of your heart’s desires? Or are you waiting for something to happen to push you along? Sweet One, the ‘something’ has happened! It’s time to move!
Some people have pooh-poohed the Big Shift of 2012 because the world didn’t end on December 21, 2012. Others believe there was a shift of something but they aren’t sure what that ‘something’ is. Still others are waiting for something else to happen that might take several years to complete.
There’s a bit of truth in each of these beliefs, but here is what’s going on. The Shift wasn’t about a comet hitting Planet Earth and causing the demise of our physical world and it also wasn’t about some chosen group [everyone thinks that they are in the chosen group and all others are outsiders] didn’t get swept away into some kind of heaven or nirvana. The Big Shift was a shift in Consciousness, a part of the evolution of human awareness, and it really is a BIG Shift.
As each individual is given the choice of expanding or contracting, of participating in the evolution of Consciousness or ignoring it, then each individual also has a responsibility to move into living their own Life Purpose, the very reason that their Soul incarnated in this lifetime on this planet. No more excuses. No more delays. No more waiting. The Time is NOW.
Do you know your Purpose? Are you poised and ready to live it but unsure of the direction you must take?
Look into your heart. FEEL your heart’s desires. Learn the direction of your dreams.
Most of our lives are spent answering to others’ expectations of us. Most of us have not been taught to listen to our inner voice and determine our heart’s desires. How, then, do we do this?
The first step is to give yourself permission to live your dreams. You might think that this is easy but there seems to be a little voice that will pop up and undermine your determination to live your dreams. Have you ever heard it? ‘Who do you think you are to dream that big?’ ‘You’re not good enough, smart enough, beautiful enough, slim enough, strong enough, etc. to accomplish that.’ ‘Nobody in the family has ever _________ so what makes you think you can do it?’ And on and on.
Do the work to still this voice. You do have permission to live your dreams. Your heart’s desires are the messages from your Soul about the direction this lifetime is to take. Fulfilling your Life Purpose should feel like the realization of a nagging desire to move in a certain direction. Allow yourself to pursue it.
The second step is to identify your dreams. Figure it out. Energize the vision of you stepping into those dreams.
Next, create a plan. Notice what works to support you and what doesn’t and then adjust your life circumstances to allow the possibility of realizing the dreams you identify.
Take these steps and you’ll have the compass pointed in the right direction. Let your heart’s desire be True North for your compass and set your course. Then enjoy the ride!
PS: It’s not too late for your “15 for 50″ call. I’ve extended the offer for a few more days. So, if your plans are not shaping up as easily or quickly as you’d like, consider a special Compass Call: that’s a quick dive with me into Dimensional Exploration to confirm your direction or choose your next step.

Where Are You Headed? – Richard’s Commentary
February 21, 2013 — RichardPermission, Dreams, Plans. Yes, these are the steps to answer the question of heading.
Permission is a big first step! Many of us find ourselves in situations that are stressful, unfulfilling, and far from the dreams we may have had as kids or younger adults. And nearly as many find themselves with the sense they are locked in to a life “not of their choosing.” Well, I don’t like to be the bearer of bad news, but humans are all about “choice.” We do choose everything that leads to every moment whether we want to believe this or not.
Staying in a situation that is stressful, unfulfilling and far from our dreams is a choice. We may feel like we can’t make a change. But we must give ourselves permission to make the changes that will lead to more satisfying lives. This is the time, right now, when we must begin to live into our purpose. And there is no external authority to give us this permission, this choice. This can only come from within. Yes, sometimes it takes courage to give ourselves this permission, to choose to change. But there is little chance of improvement without change.
Dreams are the second step in determining your heading. I am not suggesting a change in heading without careful examination of what you want in life. Perhaps security is more important to you than living the life of your dreams. In this case remaining in a secure but stressful environment may be the better choice. Do a gut check. Do a values check. What is most important? If your answer is greater fulfillment then go back to your dreams. Imagine the life you want. Fill in the details, begin to feel that life, breathe it, taste it, hear it, see the way it unfolds. This is creating the detailed vision of that dream. Dare to dream big. Let your imagination soar. This is the creative and fun part of this process.
Plans are the details of the dreams. Without plans dreams will remain idle, the hazy, cloud-like sketches of fantasy. Plans are an extension to the details of the vision, another layer to continue to build the dreams toward reality, the blueprints for the transformation. Plans generate the actions you need to take to make the changes. They identify the resources you need and outline the schedule and sequence of those actions.
And plans require attention too. Measure and assess the work toward the desired changes to track progress and to adjust the process as you gain additional information. As you implement your plans you will get continuous feedback; use this to make any needed adjustments. One of Rosemary’s mentor’s, James Roché refers to this process as kaizen: making small adjustments to improve a process based on continuous feedback and assessment. Even after your dream comes true kaizen can be applied to make the dream even better!
I just finished a four-day workshop with Jeff Primack, his Qi Revolution program. And it was awesome. I’ve been doing qigong for about a year now and have embraced the concepts, worked through a couple of forms and have incorporated it into both my health regimen. I also plan to blend some qigong concepts into a workshop of my own I am planning for this summer. Qi Revolution changed this vision I have, not only for my workshop but for my entire life! This is an excellent example of kaizen. I am making adjustments to my workshop plan and my vision for my future based on the feedback, in this case from the Universe, which brought me to Jeff’s workshop. It’s not a total change in direction, but a significant refinement in heading, a course correction that will get me to my dream more effectively and maybe even more rapidly.
Have you given yourself permission to dream big, beyond your current situation? It’s a big step! Dare to dream!
