Its a sight that I treasure as one of lifes special gifts. as I continued my flight south along the coastal route, I spotted dolphins playing with the surfers in the waves below. all these experiences have given me gifts that Im now able to contribute to others. Today, though, Ive come to believe that all my past failures and frustrations were actually laying the foundation for the understanding that has created the new level of living I enjoy. But that day, as I hovered there in the sky, I thought, What a difference a decade can make! I did have dreams back then, but at the time, it seemed theyd never be realized. My life had been focused on how I was going to survive I had felt fearful and alone. In those days, I had been concerned whether my 1960 Volkswagen would hang together for the 30-minute trip to work. as I looked down, I realized this was the building that Id worked in as a janitor a mere twelve years ago! as I flew over the city of glendale, I suddenly recognized a large building, and I stopped the helicopter and hovered above it. I was flying my jet helicopter from a business meeting in Los angeles, traveling to Orange County on the way to one of my seminars. Ill never forget the day it really hit me that I was truly living my dream. My lifes quest has been to restore the dream and to make it real, to get each of us to remember and use the unlimited power that lies sleeping within us all. Many have lost that sense of certainty that creates the winners edge.
For far too many, the dream has dissipatedand with it, so has the will to shape our destinies. yet, for many of us, those dreams have become so shrouded in the frustrations and routines of daily life that we no longer even make an effort to accomplish them.
at one time in our lives, we all had a vision for the quality of life that we desire and deserve. We all have dreamsWe all want to believe deep down in our souls that we have a special gift, that we can make a difference, that we can touch others in a special way, and that we can make the world a better place.
