*THE DREAM KILLER* by Brendan Nichols

The dream killer was revealed to me in a simple conversation. I was talking to someone the other day, who was very passionate about attending one of our seminars. This person felt that this was exactly the thing they needed to turn their life around. At the height of their
exuberance, their voice dropped several tones and they then began to talk of all the practical reasons why they could not possibly attend.

Within each of us there are two voices. The first tells us to go for our dreams. Then there is a second voice. This voice is called the dream killer. It will scare us into playing it safe and remaining comfortable. Robert Frost described the dream killer when he said, "something we were
withholding made us weak, until we found out that it was ourselves."

We often tend to think that those who have become successful have done so because they had no doubts or they were lucky. Yet the statistics speak for themselves. The Beatles were turned down by 10 recording studios before Capitol finally picked them up. Richard Bach was rejected
18 times before someone finally decided to publish Jonathon Livingston Seagull. I think my favorite 'against all odds' story is Walt Disney, who was turned down by 321 banks before someone finally said yes to his dream - Disneyland.

When you read the works of many of these people they all speak about having to face their fears and doubts. They had to turn and look their own dream killer square in the eye.

So where does this dream killer come from? It emanates from within us. This dream killer is just a voice in our mind. When someone truly realizes that it is just a voice, then it becomes the toothless tiger it really is. It will try to create all kinds of scary scenarios but once you realize that this is just a small voice within you, it begins to
lose its power.

It is important to realize that this is only a small part of you. Who you really are is so extraordinary it would literally blow your mind. Rumi said "When you see your true beauty, you will be the idol of yourself." And this is a fact. Always keep in mind your extraordinary potential. You are an amazing being. Keep the fires of your dream fully
awake. Your dreams are what lift you to an extraordinary height. They are the foundation of your passion and the wellspring of your life.

So how do you deal with this dream killer? I am going to give you two very powerful tips. Both of these come from three decades of exploring literally dozens and dozens of the most powerful life changing modalities. I have tried many 'exotic' techniques but have found the following tips to work really effectively.

*The first tip is this. *When that dream killer begins to tell you of your limitations - do not listen. That's right simply don't listen. That's what you used to do when you were a kid. You didn't listen. Remember when you believed that life was an incredible adventure and anything was possible? The sky was the limit.

*The second tip is this.* Focus on who you really are. Who you really are, is an immensely powerful person who has the capacity to create an extraordinary life. The more you focus on your true essence, the more that little voice in
your mind will lose its hold. Focusing on your amazing potential will lead you to the life of your dreams.

*Go for your dreams!"

[> [> I love this! Very inspiring yes! I know I"ve got that voice in my head, I am working on being more aware of it and therefore giving it less power. I'll try the tips mentioned. :) -- Linda, 12:38:39 10/21/03 Tue

[> [> I can hear Churchill ringing in my ears....We have met the Enemy and it is Us...Is this true or what????? We are the force that limits our achievments. It is we ourselves that cause so much pain for us. Just think what we could do if we were unencumbered by our own fears!?! -- Betsy, 15:37:11 10/23/03 Thu

[> [> The first thing that comes to my mind is the saying "there's nothing to fear but fear itself". So true. I hear that little voice in my head on a daily basis and it's when I ignore it completely (and boy do I feel rebellious when I do that), that I feel happiest. Another thing I've heard regarding this little voice is that it's the other side of good - the evil that puts doubts in our minds to create conflict. I'm not sure I believe that but I've read about it several times. One of the hardest things people do is try to focus on who they really are. So many don't know and spend so much time trying to "figure it out" rather than just "being". Does that make sense? It's late and I had to watch the 1st Lord of the Rings movie for the umpteenth time! -- Lori, 01:52:09 10/26/03 Sun
