Dreaming will never bring you anything unless you apply ACTION, focused energy, and hopefully a spirit of fun too, towards the creation of your goal.

I was sitting here thinking,
as I looked around at things I have,
or goals I have obtained...
and I see the same undercurrent

repeated in my life,
which runs along these lines:

When did anything I was fully focused on
ever NOT come into blossom ?
Answer? NEVER!!

I believe that the core of creating anything,
(the key )
Is to first realise what it is you want,
then to TAKE ACTION in that direction.
Whether you outwardly cannot see how it might
take shape is useless to even waste mind energy on.

The universe will unfold (blossom,)
and bring forth these things
even better than we can imagine,
if we ourselves do not limit the means
by which we are seeking the desired outcome
to be achieved.

A few examples:

When I started martial arts,
I NEVER considered ever getting black belts..
I just wanted to learn a few moves to be able to defend
myself with ablity to block and throw a punch effectively.

I was so focused on each lesson,
that before I knew it 4 years had passed,
and I had gained 2 weapons black belts
(nunchakus, and bojitsu)
plus one last test needed for my 3rd one
(in Sai) and had Kama knowledge as well.

I had become a teacher of weapons (kobudo)
and was teaching beginning and advanced classes
at 2 separate dojos.
I was a Sensei in this area.

I had gained a regular black belt in karate,
plus the next up one as well,
and was considered a Sempei
(asst. to a Sensei) in open hand Karate,
and had gone thru referee and judge training,
Which allowed me participation as such in
major WUKO tournaments.

I am proud to say that in any tournament
my students of kobudo entered,
They consistently placed in top three
of their chosen area to compete in,
bringing home medals,
and trophies for their hard work.

This was an amazing thing
for a mother of 3 young children,
who never even considered going more than
a few months into learning.

I think the main thrust of this growth,
was that I was having a BLAST!
I was completely enjoying what I was doing.

a few more examples:

When I wanted to learn growing herbs,
I had no clue (20 years ago ).
I just started clearing out space,
buying herbs and planting them.
It grew into 5 small herb plots around my yard,
and me learning how to use them in every day
culinary , medicinal , and cosmetic applications.

My crystals,
I started with one purchase, and no knowledge.
Today I have over 100,
all close personal *friends*

Esp my house.
I made an agreement with myself
that by age 45 I wanted to own a house
free and clear of my own .
In spite of all odds against me,
It became a reality
within but a few days
of my 45 th conceptional birthday !

I don't mind it is old rundown 1920 house,
I love it, and by standards in many countries,
I would be seen as extremely wealthy,
tho in America (lol ) It is a rundown house.
In my eyes, I love my home,
and that is all that matters.
I consider myself most priviledged
to have the universe bring me this gift.

____________________________

I will wrap this up :
In summary, I could go on and on and on ,
about how life brings us the things we desire,
but the key is :
are we staying focused on that thought?

Where is our mind energy going?

Where and how are we TAKING ACTION?

Dreaming , wishing are all nice,
but until you start taking steps towards
your desired outcome,
it will not evolve.

We MUST take part in the creation.
We are the spark that ignites it.
We *breathe life* into our dreams,

When we come to realise this is true,
then worrying the hows etc.
become complete wastes of time,
and energy.

We ourselves are the only ones
that stand in our own path.
Do not place limitations
on your goals,
Let the universe surprise you!

Start looking for it in everything you do.
Have fun in the adventure of discovery,
for if you are not having fun,
then Life becomes but one deary day after another.
When we stop having fun,
then we begin to destroy our own dream,
our own creation.

This is the moment NOW.
This is the ONLY time that you are truly living.
Value each moment and the rest will not fail to unfold.

So if / when you find yourself at a spot in the road,
where things do not seem to be working out,
STOP...

Take time to look at all you have brought forth,
over the past.

Appreciate it.

Realise that much of it really just took shape
naturally, so there is no need to get frustrated
and worried over your current illusional obstacle.

Progess as you have in the past,
with anticipation and confidance,
and all those *problems* will be resolved.

Remember John Lennon:
There are no problems,
only solutions.

Thanks for reading,
Love.
Ami Joi Benton.
