The Manifestation of a Dream...!

Tuesday, 07 September 2010 14:00

Every since I was little, I remember wanting to have lots of things that I felt I would never be able to.  One such object was a nice car.  In the early days I liked Lamborghinis however I knew when it came down to it I loved the thought of having two cars in my drive, a nice big 4 wheel drive, and a hard-top convertible with four seats.  Funnily enough, I was always very clear about this.  It had to be hard-top and had to have back seats!

After the hail storm wrote off my X-Trail, it was time, for the first time in my life, to make a choice about what car (and colour) I wanted.  I think I sub-consciously felt though, that in choosing my red, hard-top convertible that I was aware that my mum, known for her less than subtle expression of discontent with my choices, would dampen my enthusiasm for finally being able to have the car I’d always dreamed of.

But doesn’t life have a funny way of surprising you.  When she saw it, she was so pleased and proud of the fact that I’d bought it, especially the fact that it was red, that I was left gaping at her with my mouth open, wondering who had taken my mother and replaced her with this woman standing before me.  I took her for a drive and she was laughing like a child with her wind blowing in her hair.

My brother informed me a few days later, that unbeknownst to me, my mum had always had a dream of having a convertible.  He told me that I was living her dream.  I was immediately humbled by the reminder of this important lesson that we teach “Our children live out our unfulfilled dreams and aspirations.”  Without even knowing I had stepped up into that role that my mother hadn’t been able to fill, in this way as I had in others.

It was an important reminder that I was on track, with my life, vision and teachings; an important reminder to dream big; an important reminder that when we push through the glass roof our perceptions have created, miracles occur.

And remember, as you are a living representation of the dreams your parents dreamt, your children are a representation of yours.  Dream big…!

With love, light and gratitude,
