October 10, 2025- Led by the dreams

Don’t be pushed around by the fears in your mind. Be led by the dreams in your heart.

~Roy T. Bennett

So often, we get caught up in a loop of thinking of all the things we want to avoid. Instead of focusing on our intentions, we bring negativity into our consciousness constantly. We obsess over the foods we want to avoid, the people we want to stay away from, and the behaviors we would rather not do. With all the time we spent thinking about those things, is it really any wonder we can’t get away from them?

What would happen if we devoted our thoughts to our dreams, instead of our fears? What if we could take advantage of our thoughts to draw us closer to those dreams? What if we could let go of the mental turmoil of thinking one thing while doing another? What if we could create alignment between our intentions, our thoughts, and our actions?

It does not serve us to be led by fear. In fact, it does not generally serve us even to feel it. Let’s focus on what we want from this life. Let’s carefully design the person we would like to be, then engineer that person, one choice at a time. Let’s let our dreams carry more weight than our fears. Let’s let go of the negative thoughts that haunt us, that distract us, and keep us up at night. Let’s dare to be dreamers.
