Abraham says that you should "never step forward in the face of fear" and that resonates so deeply with me. So much more so that "feel the fear and do it anyway". So ease into it. Dream more, visualize more, construct it in your mind more. Do more dreaming and visualizing and the inspired actions will come. Have you ever read the works of Neville? He writes extensively on using your imagination to achieve and get where you want to go. But one word of advice...in your mind do not make it "one day". See it as already happening, feel it as already achieved, feel what it is like as the end result....if it is in your mind and visualizations as "one day" it will remain as "one day" but if it is in your mind as "achieved" it will be "achieved". (p.s. Kevin and I have both worked exclusively from home since 2001. It can be done!) Chris,

It is so easy to get caught in the "If I do this now, then my future will be better" mentality. I know because there are some aspects of my life in which I still live in that place, and it's a big challenge for me. I keep telling myself, "One day I will leave my corporate job and just help people for a living." One day... one day... I keep telling myself. But when I really dig deep, I think the truth is I'm not quite ready for that. Having a wife and son, I don't feel confident enough that the universe will support and lift me if I were to just quit my job and follow my dreams. Some might call that practical, or cowardly, or any other number of things. I'm not sure what I'd call it, except to note that I am aware of my hearts' desires... I work towards fulfilling them every night after my wife and son go to sleep. "One day... one day..." Hi Karen,

I keep telling myself, “One day I will leave my corporate job and just help people for a living.” One day… one day… I keep telling myself.

“One day… one day…”

The now is here for everyone to enjoy if they want it. The more people who awaken to the now, become non-violent and the more people who read posts like your Karen, the more awakening that is happening on this planet. Keep up the great work with your blog! Gary The beauty of becoming present in the moment is that we can do it right now :)

Not only that those birds start singing at about 4:45 every morning! It is wonderful, I love it! Irene,

The fast pace of life, the busyness, the things that have to be done, when we take those quiet times and appreciate the Now, they don't seem so important, do they? It's springtime and all of those birds singing are there for a reason, to awaken us up also. All of those budding bushes, shrubs, and trees, do we even notice them? En-Joy the Now.
