A collection of inspirational wisdom, sayings and quotes on the subject of how to live your goals and dreams and creating consciously.
We are each of us born into this life with a particular purpose, or mission, a gift to give the world. We will find that whatever is our passion is generally that which is related to our purpose and for which we have a particular gift to develop and share.
We all have dreams and wishes. Unless we do something about them, that is exactly what they remain. It is action that brings our dreams and wishes to life. We can do this by setting goals and taking it step by step until our goals are realized. Never be daunted by those who would discourage you. Listen to and act on your inner voice, let your life be an adventure! Mistakes and all. After all, it is your life!
Cut not the wings of your dreams,
for they are the heartbeat and the freedom of your soul.

then how will you get there?

See yourself arriving.
Make yourself a road map and study it every day
until you know the way and the destination by heart.
