Your mental vitamin prescription follows... :-}) Maybe this will help some. Jeff [log in to unmask] ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ "Dreams" from "The Joy of Working" by Denis Waitley. Most people are like an oak tree in a flowerpot: they never grow to their potential. The very roots of self-esteem are cramped and compressed by their limited self-talk. People don't look to find ways to make their dreams come true; they list reasons why they wouldn't work out in the first place. The paradox about daydreaming is that people don't take it seriously - "It's a waste of time." Actually, dreams are powerful reflections of your actual growth potential. Scientists at the Brain Research Institute at the University of California at Los Angeles believe that the creative capacity of the human brain approaches infinity. There are no limits other than the self-imposed. So, don't censor your dreams. Give them free rein. Put your dreams in action: 1. Create dreams that make you feel alive and give you some degree of purpose in your working day. 2. Take a few minutes several times a day to replay your dream. You'll feel energized, revitalized, and reinforced in your self-esteem. 3. Read books. They open up your horizons. Biographies and autobiographies of people who have followed their dreams to success can help you forge new dreams and directions to your life. 4. Hold your dreams dear, but also be a doer. Fantasies can only become real through action. Accomplish at least one thing each day that brings you closer to your dream.
