The truth is, Sarah, you, me – we are all in relationship with everything around us, at every moment. Now the cycle of dreaming can begin again.īut stories can be transformed, once you see the truths that lie beneath them. Girl’s dream decides to decamp with dreamboat next door.
#Do your dreams come true free#
She has to make sure she dreams up the next, new sparkly thing so her customers – fickle creatures that they are – don’t disappear down the road to that raucous upstart of a business that’s giving away free tofu dogs, and vegan iPads with every purchase. Forget about writing the great novel or finding the cure for terminally cold feet.

She worries about money more than she ever has before, because she has more of it to worry about. Her customers are fleeing the harbor of her business to swarm the new, shiny marina in Pago Pago. In her nightmare, her villa in Vanuatu is swallowed by a tsunami. She can’t get enough air in her lungs her pulse is racing.

So, in the midst of all this abundance, Sarah – remember Sarah? – wakes up at night with her heart pounding. They could disappear, and you’d be back where you started, hoping and longing for something out there, out of reach. If you still believe that these things that you so longed for are outside of you – that they exist independently of you – then their existence in your life is always suspect. Everything you’d once dreamed of is now right here, a living, breathing part of you. You wake up one day to realize that the ecology of your life has completely changed. The thing about energy alchemy is, it reshapes you – and the You that emerges includes your dreams and visions as part of your everyday life. She will travel the world on her yacht, write her great novel and discover the cure for catastrophically cold feet - once those images climb off her vision board and stroll into her life. She tells herself she will be happy, fulfilled, rested, vibrant and joyful. So long as this dream remains a collage on her vision board, a set of affirmations, something she aspires to, it retains its aura of magic. She also wants to be rich, famous, work no more than two hours a day, and retire at age thirty to a beach house in Vanuatu. She wants to make a positive difference in people’s lives. Sarah – let’s call the heroine of our story Sarah – knows in her heart that she has great gifts of love and beauty to offer the world. Her fears reflect a story I hear from so many entrepreneurs. That all this spaciousness and wealth will vanish like mist when the sun of reality rises. That the flow of abundance will stop as miraculously as it began. She has crafted a business story that truly supports her life. She has transformed her patterns and beliefs - about who she is, what she can create, where and how she may live and work. And she has done the inner work that brings her business to radiant, vibrant life. To get there, she has done the outer work of marketing and content creation, shaping systems and structures to support her business. Time to enjoy her family, to play, to rest, to create. And this flow of money is accompanied by a rising tide of time, energy and spaciousness. There’s more money flowing through her business than she – or anyone in her family, going back several generations – has ever enjoyed before. A tidal wave of change has swept away the life she had, and brought her one more closely aligned with her dreams. Recently, I spent a day in conversation with a client whose business has quadrupled in the six months since we began working regularly together.
