What if a Dawn of a Doom of a Dream

Yes, you recognize the words: e. e. cummings.

This post is about how your dream may not dawn because of doom.

In simpler terms, you desire may not manifest because it is blocked.

There are only two things that can block it, both self inflicted.

1. Fear. The word is an acronym. False Evidence Appearing Real.
2. Doubt. The word is an acronym. Defeat Originality Under Bogus Thoughts.

The movie and book The Secret does not list these two separately, but they are included on the negative emotions list.

If you have perceived a lack of success in some aspect of your life, and you have had a negative emotion that corresponded with that event, let us be clear what this means. . .

I credit Carol Tuttle for this idea from her book Remembering Wholeness. She was also greatly influenced by Louise Hay.

The negative emotion that was associated with the event was a clear indicator that this unsuccessful event was not in alignment with what your life should be.

If you were supposed to be a failure, you would have positive emotions around that failure, indicating that what has happened was representative of the real you.

But I know you did not.

Because I know you.

And you are meant to live an abundant life.

He who has conquered Doubt and Fear has conquered failure, and yet the difference between the successful and the less so is that the former view failure as a stepping stone to success, while the latter view failure as a referendum on their life policies.

No one remembers that Thomas Edison invented 10,000 different ways to make a light bulb that did not work, except for me, but I am a special case. He is generally remembered for inventing one version of the light bulb that did work, after 10,000 unsuccessful tries.

And while it is true that if first you do not succeed, so much for sky-diving . . . we generally find that our failures are steps along the path to our ultimate success.

If we learn from them.

Learn.
