AM I LIVING MY LIFE TO IT'S GREATEST POTENTIAL?
This is a question that I have been thinking about a lot lately. I completed yet another goal that I set for myself. The goal that I strived for through positive and negative finally came to be upon my son’s graduation from college. As I never wanted to decide his path for him I did have enough faith and I trusted whatever he told me he wanted to be in life. I NEVER had the desire to convince him that he should be or pursue something else in life because of MY secret desires for myself! Simply putting it for example I have always wanted to be an archeologist and since I did not fulfill that in my present life I could have been the one to say son this is the coolest career ever...don’t you want to be a archeologist??? And that is when things begin to shift and the convincing begins! Don’t think for once that it is ok…it is not rational it is detrimental to the growth of the child because now you are altering to whom he/she is to be in this world. You are tainting there natural gift, sabotaging their future and silencing the voice within which guides them on what they are to be. Do you think for one second that they came here to fulfill your dreams in any way? They came on this earth to fulfill their dreams. I am and still here to support my son in any way that I can if he asks me to assist. But, now it comes to a point as to what’s next? What is next for Dawn? There are so many thoughts that run through my head of so many things that I would love to do or pursue. Then comes the analytical part of me that says wow I could have been or I should have tried. To be honest I never go backwards in anything (truly Dawn’s philosophy) this allows me to move forward in everything I do!!
For me to even fathom (going backwards) is a form of personal punishment, a flashback or opening up a time capsule. From day one we are brought into this world and thoughts begin to formulate in the mind. We have so many variables that make up scenes or the stories of our lives. Each and every segment, each step on your journey is reflected in your mind and creates the movie of your life. And who’s to say that my movie is not correct for me? At what point do we rationalize each and every step that we take? Who determines those steps? And when do you decide to walk on those paths? As long as I can remember I had very lofty thoughts of grander. I have always thought Big, even Bigger or OMG BIGGEST! It wasn’t a game as I believed that it would be in my life that I deserved and is entitled to all good things to come to me. But, that is when the outside forces, opinions, thoughts that translated into words that are heard via my ears! That 2 letter word NO! No is very powerful as it is a cousin to fear. These two words (NO or FEAR) can change the direction of your life or hamper your soul’s desire. It will squash your dreams and stifle your will to listen to your inner self.
In other words it silences your entire being. My introduction to this concept was at a very young age as we all are introduced to it via a tribe member, friends, teachers, etc... There is never an explanation it is always something to the fact of … “No because I said so” or “I’m the adult and you are the child”. Knowing Dawn’s mind I know who you are but why can’t I do, be or experience…because you said so? Hmmmm… sounds kind of fishy to me. But I wasn’t in a position to think or do otherwise as I was at a very young age or was I too young? Actually, they thought that I was too young but the ramifications would have been punishment quasi a beating as they say or having something taken away. This was just another way of controlling. Hey, I am not judging but the same way of doing things time after time generation after generation could be a sign of insanity. There is never a new thought or a new way that we can experiment with to change the dynamics of the game! For me I am a “free will” kind of person. I am not radical, tree hugger or because of my religious beliefs. My ability to use free will is part of who I am and what I have used and is a known fact that works for me. If we explain and assist we can learn and grow. If we keep stifling thoughts, opinions and ideas we create a society of people who cannot dream or pursue their inner most desires in life.
As we continue to live, hope and dream if we live our life right and not judge others or hate on each other due to what they have we can change the tone of the world. Gratitude and Abundance go hand in hand. Encouragement and Assistance can make the difference of a dream being born or a dream ending abruptly in death!
As you ponder on the words that I have written please know that these are my opinions only. It is not to make you change or be something different then you are. It is a form of expression and a way of life for me. As I continue to find my way know that we are all here for the most awesome experience in life! Do not let anything consume you in darkness or negativity! Continue to move towards the light that burns inside of you as that it your beacon to whom you are and the knowledge that you possess!
My joy lies in me knowing that there is so much for me to…

And so much more!
Life is to be lived in light not in darkness! Just think why is it that in the light we can see but in darkness we cannot? Hmmmm…in darkness your vision is hampered and you need light to guide you right? It is very basic in thought but astounding once you take a minute to ponder this! I encourage you to REACH FOR AND LIVE IN THE LIGHT and all of your desires will become crystal clear!
My dream is to be a literary genius! An author of many books to inspire, assist and teach people to grow mentally and spiritually towards being a whole human being. By you engaging in reading my words you are pushing me towards my dreams…For that I am extremely GRATEFUL and I THANK YOU!!!
