To dream is to choose life.

I have begun to believe that the more we live, the more challenging times in life come to test us. If this is true, then what are we being tested for? I suspect for our willingness to believe in our own impossible dreams… to have faith in the face of unimaginable losses and setbacks… and to choose love, at times against all odds. There have been many times I’ve found myself down, unsure if I could get up… but a voice inside me has reminded me again and again that this is a new moment… and that anything is possible… that it is always our own beliefs that shape our reality. In this way, what we dream seems to arise from our soul’s own yearning. Our connection with source is the means by which we can put that dream into action. Faith, comes from the Greek word ‘faté’ meaning to place the heart upon. This link, made in love, is the thin veneer we often sense in our darkest hour, the bridge between hope and despair. The moment where me must be willing to let go of everything in order to gain it all. It is the divine gossamer thread we must reach for to weave our own life’s miracles. This is how faith tests us. This is how our dreams or desires become our compass leading us home, because spirit is always calling us to evolve and grow. If we dream bigger, we often face greater setbacks, and so, are asked to have greater and deeper faith, in ourselves and in life itself. In this way we become a conduit and are shaped by source into beings who can meet these dreams with integrity. I believe this is what the Sufi poet Rumi meant when he wrote, “what you seek is seeking you.” 📷: I often make vision boards, pulling images both consciously and unconsciously as a tool to discover what’s next in my life, to inspire and uplift myself and to call forth miracles. I believe to dream is to choose life: the very life with which we have been blessed,  again and again.
