I am SO happy for you that you have made this great decision! Doesn't it feel wonderful to know what you want? As long as you keep up that feeling of excitement and never stop thinking about and planning for your dream, your success is guaranteed! p.s. - I can't speak for my friends, but I know for a fact that my wife would like me to put a lid on it sometimes! That just means that the excitement level is where it needs to be. :) Sue – Long time no see!

I've decided in the past month to finally pursue the career path I've always dreamed about -- I'm going back to school this summer to get my Real Estate license! And it's ALL I THINK ABOUT!!! I'm reading RE blogs, websites, talking with Brokers to find my new 'home' after getting my license. I know I'm driving family and friends nuts...but I'm so excited! And yes, it keeps me awake some nights. But it feels GREAT!!! Once again, your blog is quite timely...THANK YOU!! Sue Hey Aaron!

I've taken to having access to a piece of paper, a PDA, or my computer pretty much around the clock so that I can write things down the moment they pop into my head. Consistency is key, whether you are talking about meditating, affirming, visualizing, or whatever. I can say in truth that by the time I finally stand on the back deck of the beach house that I visualize every day, I will have already been there thousands of times! :) Anne,

It makes me realise that I really need to structure my 'meditations'. They are very random affairs at the moment so it is no wonder that I forget the wonderful things that I come up with the moment I sit down at my desk. Another great post Aaron.

In truth, as you indicated, the only person in the world who is truly 100% dedicated to our dreams is <strong>us</strong>, and as individuals, we are the only people who can truly make them happen! That's powerful stuff, Ophelia, and thank you so much for sharing. Also, thanks for sharing that great quote by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow - very appropriate! Ophelia,

I go to bed at 2am and I wake during the night with thoughts and force myself to go back to bed then up again working at 7am. Weirdly enough Shauna can't sleep either but we talked about this the other day and she said At first she felt like nothing is worth me working like this but in the end it hit her- If she doesn't work this hard on her future- WHO WILL? "The heights by great men reached and kept, were not obtained by sudden flight. But they, while their companions slept, were toiling upward in the night." -Henry Wadsworth Longfellow Hey Aaron,
