The reason you're not living your dream is because not all parts of you are in alignment with your promise.
Your dream will not actualize until you have all the skills you need. Since it takes time to cultivate the full glass, you will find your glass only half-full or half-empty.
As you work on developing all your skills, you will also be buffeted by stronger forces.
If you want to be a writer, you have to learn the craft. Assuming you know how to be clear and expressive, you may still find yourself unpublished. So you need the additional skill of learning how to market your writing.
Only when all your skills are complete will you be able to fully express your dream.
This gap between talent and opportunity can be bridged once you discover what you need to learn.
While you're in this state of trying to develop the entire experience, you will face opposition. Stronger ego states and life conditions will press hard against you.
Those ego-states concerned with approval, safety, and control will keep you away from cultivating your dream.
Similarly environmental conditions arising from past experiences will distract you.
These two conditions are sufficient to keep most people living inauthentic lives, where they do what works but not what gives them true self-expression and joy.
It is at these times of trial and hardship that you may be tempted to focus on looking at the glass as half-empty.
Yet the only way to raise your child-genius into full maturity is to persist.
You have to hold your vision despite low moods, alternate desires, and pressing circumstances.
Talent is seldom nurtured in ideal environments. Usually, you have to tend the small flame of your dreams in the face of strong winds. Only by persisting will you eventually have a fire greater than an opposing draft.
You keep your dreams alive by focusing on how far you've come.
You have to hold your vision and practice it.
When you persist in this way, you'll move closer to your goals.
When you persist long enough, you'll find yourself living your dream.
It has been a matter of great discussion now for the last year not whether there was a bubble in the housing market (there was), but whether it has really burst yet, whether it only partially burst, whether that little pffft you heard was the bubble actually popping, or whether it is yet to pop, or is now set to re-inflate yet again.
Okay, so the housing market was getting ahead of itself Hard as it is to remember now, there was a time only a couple of years ago when people were paying bonuses to . When there were lotteries at new housing developments because there were way more buyers interested than there were new homes. When properties listed were sold the same day or by the first weekend they were put on the MLS. When that happens, and it was happening even in areas in the mid-west, there is a bubble.
Today, the real estate markets across the U.S. are flooded with homes for sale. Sales are way down across the board. Which means, except for those who have to buy something (for instance, because they have moved) or in the case of first-time buyers, no one is buying because it is almost impossible to sell their existing home in the first place.
But a strange thing is happening. Prices aren't going down. At least, not like one would expect in a real market bubble. In fact, in a surprising number of areas, prices are rising What this means is a couple of things. Except for individual sellers facing their own special circumstances, there is no general panic. People have already discounted their prices to a large extent. And, it appears that, at least in the short term, people are prepared to wait it out or at least wait a certain number of months before discounting their prices any more.
Some psychologists (or economists posing as psychologists) have attempted to diagnose this situation in terms of the ostrich sticking its head into the sand, albeit an ostrich with a sub-prime loan that is ticking down to zero. Other economists unafraid to openly practice psychology talk openly using the term, ?denial.?
What it may come down to is how optimistic a person is. A person who sees the glass as half full will say that the bubble is half gone and is now just right. A person who sees the sky falling down and the glass as half empty, will say that the bubble is only half deflated and has another half to go before the bubble disappears.
I see it more in terms of a bottle of beer. At half full, I've had half of a good beer, and I still have another half to go and then I will simply order another beer and talk some more with that cute cocktail waitress. Cheers.
