\"O-Magazine-Alicia-Hartzell-Awakening-to-Your-Story-\"Living into your dreams doesn\u2019t happen all at once. It takes time.\u00a0 Big dreams, or little dreams, they all take personal evolution.\u00a0 You must shift and build and stretch your heart\u2019s capacity, so you can become the person who can embody that miraculous dream. Your dreams are like a crystal ball, showing you what is possible for your future.\u00a0 They will become reality, but they are designed to do so much more than just happen.\u00a0 They are designed to help you become a better, stronger part of humanity.\u00a0 They are designed to help you let go of the old crap in your life that no longer serves you.\u00a0 It\u2019s time to set your heart free, so that you can come home to your essential truth. It\u2019s time to remember all that you are, all that you can do and all that you are meant to do in this world.<\/p>\n

As powerful as this is, it is also where frustration can sneak in, where the belief of separation can take over.\u00a0 You create the dream, and you want it to, poof, become a reality. When it doesn\u2019t happen at your expected pace, you begin to own the separation.\u00a0 You begin to doubt what you are, and own the limitation the dream was designed to remove.\u00a0 Thankfully, the image of the dream is usually stronger than the limitation. This is because the dream is aligned with your essential truth, while the doubt is only aligned with the limitation.<\/p>\n

Because dreams are directly linked to your heart, and your higher consciousness, you will get little reminders and nudges along the way.\u00a0 They are designed to help keep you on track.\u00a0 This brings me to today\u2019s post.\u00a0 Finding four photos of myself in the Oprah Magazine happens to be my nudge, or my \u201cdivine wink of love\u2019 designed to remind me to stay on track.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s no secret that my dream is to have my own show on OWN, the Oprah Winfrey Network<\/a>.\u00a0 The show would allow me to reach a large number of people with my \u201cheart\u201d work, and give people the \u201chow,\u201d that they are not only looking for, but also need.\u00a0 In that dream, I am also the author of many more books adding to my first, Awakening to Your Story<\/a>. I am teaching, and speaking publicly to help raise the consciousness of humanity.\u00a0 I know it\u2019s meant to be a reality, no ego in that statement, just pure, purpose driven heart.\u00a0 Man, there are times I wish I were there already, and there are times I doubt I will make it there.\u00a0 Just as I choose to reach beyond the doubt and focus in on my journey and heart\u2019s evolution towards the dream, I open up the magazine and find myself there.\u00a0 Not once, not twice, but four times my face smiles back at me from page 83 in the June edition of the O Magazine<\/a>.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"Alicia-Hartzell-Oprah-Magazine-Awakening-to-Your-Story--300x300\"I know someday it won\u2019t just be my smiling face, but my love-filled words that are pouring out of the pages.\u00a0 I have so much to teach, and so much love to share with anyone who is ready to listen.\u00a0 I know the audience will come, and will grow, as my own limitations are eliminated.\u00a0 Until then, I will keep reaching and stretching my heart capacity towards my dream.<\/p>\n

And so, you keep trying to reach the dream.\u00a0 Try shifting your perspective just a little, and rather than just having a laser beam focus on your dream, try recognizing the power in each step forward.\u00a0 Focus on your heart\u2019s evolution.\u00a0 Recognize where your heart is now, and then get curious about the You in the dream.\u00a0 What are the beliefs and heart capacity of the person standing in the middle of the dream, as it\u2019s fully realized?\u00a0 Remember, your dreams are not just about the end result; they\u2019re about the path home to your essential truth.<\/p>\n

Trust me, this shift in perspective will help take the edge off the doubt and separation. After all, separation is an illusion.\u00a0 Keep your eye out for those winks of love along the way!<\/p>\n

Remember, you are the only you this world will ever know.\u00a0 Your dreams are so valuable, and are designed so that you can bring something to the table of humanity, that only you can bring<\/p>\n

Keep dreaming, you miraculous being of light!<\/p>\n
