Dreams, Courage, and Laughter

It's easy to get caught up in all the details of life, to become so focused on the tasks at hand that you forget to look out on the horizon and listen for the future that is calling you, the one that needs your participation to come into being. Yes, there will always be matters that draw on your attention and take your time. But, there are honest to goodness visions to be had, those apparitions of the remote or seemingly impossible that cause your blood to stir and the hair to stand up on the back of you neck. Pay attention. Look for the remarkable. Listen for the calling. Dream. Reach. Yearn. Pursue.

Often when dreams speak to you, they rouse fear. Fear is a natural response when the earth shifts beneath your feet, calling other worlds into existence. Fear is the cracking of mortar as your foundations are rearranged to build a new reality. That is why it takes bravery and daring to pursue the fantastic.

Audacity, boldness, and grit are requirements to live a life worth living. There is no compromise when it comes to seeking out that which is exceptional, extraordinary, and phenomenal. Each person's vision may be made up of its own unique qualities, features, and traits, but the common core is always one of challenging the status quo and that is why it shakes the substructure of life, resulting in tremors that pluck anxiety's taut strings.

The quickest way to diffuse the tension is through the moodshift that comes from a hearty laugh. Whether you are looking in a mirror and chuckling at your own antics or enjoying a cosmic joke as the universe conspires to lift you free from your own assumptions, nothing beats the release that laughter brings.

All three of these - dreams, courage, and laughter - work together marvelously, setting the stage for a daring, intrepid life that is profoundly satisfying. Take them in liberal doses, but never too much of one without a complement of the other two!

“To succeed in life, you need three things: a wishbone, a backbone and a funnybone.”

― Reba McEntire

My new book is available on Amazon for pre-order today. Order it now and send proof of your purchase to GIRadvance@gmail.com and I will send you some goodies in the weeks ahead, only available to those who preorder.

The goodies have already started to be dispensed! I did a teleconference last week for the early purchasers (I will send you the MP3 to listen to if you buy before the book becomes publicly available in early March). There is another coming as well as a special pdf workbook based upon the material in the book.

The content will be new, original, and not available in the book.
