Develop a dream. This was a want--a real want--spelled WANT. 

 

When we have a dream, a mission, we don't have to formally daydream or do affirmations.

 

They happen automatically--in living color.

 

Although formal affirmations and daydreams are an important aid in the process, the real driver is the dream.

 

I speak here of the goal--the mission--the reason to bound out of bed in the morning.

 

When we have dreams, they are ever present in our thoughts. We imagine them. We rehearse them in our minds.

 

We talk about them incessantly and they serve to pull us into a new set of tomorrows

 

the "yes, buts" that spoil so many "inner parties."

 

What kind of things written on your walls are keeping you from being empowered and living YOUR dream?

 

Maybe things like:

"I'm not credible."

"People don't like me. They don't warm up to me. Thus they won't like me as a workshop leader."

"People don't trust me."

"I'm Methodist and thus must always be humble and self deprecating."

How's that for trash can material?

It's really hard to get your balloon in the air with that much ballast holding it back.

So keet tapping and find any related aspects. Tap on those as well. Erase! Erase! All the while, the dream was going on in living color.

Replace! Replace! Eventually, your walls are rewritten and an entirely new self-image shows up to go along with the dream.

The whole process may take two or three months.

I'm not talking about a wimpy little change where you're able to voice your opinions a little more freely.

That's nice, of course, but I'm talking about something much bigger. I'm talking about a dramatic self image shift

where none of the above deep set tail enders have any more hold on you.

You'll be free, credible in your own mind. That's BIG!

 A sense of congruence comes with that. That's even BIGGER!!

That's how it works ladies and gentlemen. We live in a Palace of Possibilities.

We have mountainous potential (and we know it) but we are held back by the writing on our walls--most of which is fiction.

We believe that stuff on an emotional level even though we know that it is logical spoofery.

I said at the very beginning of this workshop that our walls are made of cellophane and that the writing thereon is done in chalk.

We are a few tapping sessions and a dream or two away from walking right through barriers that only exist in our imaginations.

Now, realistically speaking, skills are often needed to assist people in expanding into their Palace of Possibilities.

This process may not always work as smoothly or as quickly for some as it does for others

 Most people need help in locating their tail enders. They may even need help locating a goal.

That's where the skilled practitioner comes in. The mechanical skills are certainly learnable and help is VERY accessable here!

 However, the biggest skill we can possible display is (drum roll please) our own example.

We must model what we teach. How are we going to teach someone else to move freely in this world if we aren't on that path ourselves?

Next time we'll talk about external limits and circumstances, different aspects of limitations, and being careful what you ask for.

Thank you for coming, see you tomorrow night!
