People watching is a wonderful pastime.
Isn’t it amazing the variety that exists in the human race?
Tall, short,
male, female,
Heavy, slim,
blonde hair, red hair, dark hair…no hair!

There are some people that look at others and see animals.
“he looks like a weasel”
“She has the hands of a sloth”
These are not compliments.
They are imaginative, 
but they are generally hurtful.

What kind of filter do you see others thru?

Do you, in your head, think
“She’s too skinny,”
” He needs a shave”
“They look ridiculous”
“He’d be cute if he lost 25lbs”
“She looks old”

Do you want to know something that will change you?
EVERYONE is doing the best they can!
and EVERYONE has their story.

“She” is skinny because her boyfriend is always mentioning her weight,
she would love to eat normally, but he’d leave her.

“He” forgot to shave because he had to rush out of the house to 
pick up a sick child at school

“They” look ridiculous to you because they are marching to their own drum, 
not yours!

“He” has struggled with his weight all his life, but his wife adores him
as he is, he is cute to her already!

“She” has lead the life of helping others, she has never taken an interest
in her own reflection, she is held in high regard and loved by many
and THAT is what matters to her.

Become aware of how you look at others.
You would hope others look at you with kinder eyes.
Remember these words and make adjustments to your thoughts,
when you gaze at the beautiful personified story of another,
and all you see are the flaws.

“If one advances confidently in the direction of his dreams, and endeavors to live the life which he has imagined, he will meet with success unexpected in common hours.”~ Henry David Thoreau

You frequently hear the saying: Make your dream a reality.

But let’s flip it around, shall we?

You often hear someone who has accomplished something monumental say
“This feels like a dream”
or
“This is more than I could have ever dreamed of”.

That happens when the Universe takes a desire and runs with it!

When you put something out there and then you only feed it with feelings of accomplishment,
you feel assured that it will come to pass.

Like the athlete who after practice envisions crossing the finish line first, over and over and over again.

How about the actor who feels so prepared, so perfect for a part that he is relaxed and confident at the audition?

They know what they want and they stay out of their own way! Their reality then reinforces this by giving them feedback that they’re on the right track.

The athlete starts winning all his competitions,
The actor gets his parts.

This is where it gets interesting.
Even when things “seem” to go awry, we are being guided to our dreams.

The Universe now has taken the reins and is running the show.

When you can take these detours in stride and maintain your resolve by not getting discouraged;
not listen to the negative voices—both internal and external,
THAT is when…

The athlete gets the last place on the team to the Olympics and WINS  A MEDAL!
The actor gets not the lead, but a supporting role and then wins an Academy Award!

Their achievements surpass even their wildest dreams!

And THAT ladies and gentlemen is making your reality a dream.
