Empower Your Dream Life
Welcome back! I appreciate you and your support. You can still subscribe to my RSS Feed Thanks for visiting! Have an awesome day!
It’s all within your reach. In fact, the power to create your Dream Life is inside of you, waiting for you to remember it. We are all born with a unique gift to be shared with the world. Discovering your gift will open the doors to your Dream Life so you can share it with the world.
We are meant to be the best that we can be, not settle for a mediocre existence. Yes, it takes courage, faith, belief and strong convictions to convince your biggest detractor that you’re worth it. Can you guess who that is? Look in the mirror. YOU are your own biggest stumbling block when it comes to achieving the Life of your Dreams.
So are you going to allow that? What empowering steps can you take to move towards your Dream Life? May I share another tool to add to your repertoire?
As our Mastermind group explores Think & Grow Rich by Napoleon Hill, we are discovering steps to empower and create our Dream Lives. One very powerful step to utilize is creating a Desire Statement or Self-Talk Statement. This statement sends a message to your subconscious mind, informing it of your Dream Life. Your subconscious mind will then work to present opportunities to accomplish this. Remember, your subconscious does not distinguish between reality and desire. If you focus on something, your subconscious will accept it as fact.
How to Write Your Desire Statement
Your Desire Statement may take several different forms. Use whatever resonates for you. Some people write out a sentence or two with their desires. Others may use short, statements, quotes, or passages from scripture.
There are a few basic guidelines to follow in creating this statement.
Basic Guidelines:
- Write in present tense as if you are living the life you desire.
- Use powerful, emotion-laden words that lift your vibrations.
- Be bold and reach for the sky, don’t settle for anything less.
- Read this statement at least twice a day, when first awakening and just before retiring for the evening.
And most importantly, have faith that this will come to pass. Take inspired action to create what you desire. Look in the mirror and tell yourself that you ARE worth it because you are! Believe it with your whole being.
Share Your Dream
To create even higher vibrations around your Dream Life, share your dreams with those who will support and encourage you. You can do this through the written word or verbally. Here is my statement:
I am a Life Coach who supports people in their journey to discover their Dream Life. This fulfills my desire to assist people in clarifying and defining what they desire. Because of this, I am able to support the non-profit organization I created to empower women to seek their Dream Life. I feel empowered to facilitate changes in the world, one person at a time – beginning with me. I arrive at the end of each day feeling grateful, exhilarated, connected and amazed at the powers within the Universe.
A good friend and fellow blogger, Edward Elliott, has created a platform on his website which allows people to share their Dream Life with the world. This encouraged me to step out of my comfort zone and share my Dream Life vision with you. It’s so invigorating and empowering to put it out there! Creating this has really stepped up my game. My commitment to bring my dream into reality has become stronger.
I encourage you to take that step yourself and share your Dreams and Visions here. I know everyone will support you and cheer you on. Come on, what are you waiting for?
I would love to hear your dreams and visions. Feel free to share your thoughts by commenting below. Let’s start building some positive energy by sharing this with your Facebook and Twitter friends. Just click on one of the buttons at the beginning of this post to accomplish that.
Here’s to your Dreams and Visions!

Val the first Paragraph tells it all. We all are born unique.

Hi Val,
Thank you so much for reminding me about this concept.
I used to use this and preach it to my sales people when I ran a sales company. But like most things you stop doing them and then when things stop working you forget what it was you used to do that made you successful. This was definitely one of the things that helped me become a top distributor. Belief in my own ability and I only believed in me because I told myself how good I was everyday.
Thanks again Val.
Keep smiling

Hi Val,
Congratulations on stepping out and stepping up by sharing the vision of your dream with us. That in itself is a very powerful step. Think and Grow rich is a tremendous book that I have read several times. Each something more is revealed.
My dream is pretty simple. Living a blessed life filled with gratitude and love and improving the lives of the people who surround me. Seems like we’re on a path to make the world a better place one person at a time
Great job on the video! I know there will be more to come.

Hi Val!
I love how you spoke all the things out loud you want to have happen using the present tense. That alone is going to get you closer faster to the life you deserve.
How WONDERFUL to see you in a video! I know this is stepping outside of your comfort zone and I am so proud of you and your message! You WILL become a Life Coach…in fact, you already ARE a Life Coach! Not only do you support me in my journey, but you support so many others in the Tribe and beyond. Just the sheer number of comments you get each time you write a post affirms for you and your audience how powerful what you are doing with your life is. Right now! You ARE living your dream! And isn’t it terrific?
Love ya lots!!!

I feel such gratitude for your encouraging and supportive words.
Sharing your dream in writing and out loud empowers it all that more. Using the presence tense alerts your subconscious mind that you already are there so it will work to bring that all to reality.
Isn’t it awesome how we can create through the powers which connect us to the Universe.

Thank you for sharing your dreams. It was wonderful to hear. I lead a dream life now. My husband and I gave away our jobs 3 years ago and run our own business from home. This came about from some life changing events that occurred in our lives, but it catapulted us to the amazing life we have now. Have the courage and belief in yourself to be a Life Coach. You will be awesome. Congratulations.

Hey Val,
It is so good to see you on the video. Thanks for sharing as you always do. I have been applying these principals for years now. The best way is to write them down. When I have a client that has blocks in prosperity or love issues, and has a repeated behavior of that – I tell them to write on their bathroom mirror with red lipstick “I ACCEPT” That’s how we start. Why? Because what is the first thing yo do when you wake up? Go right into the bathroom, wash your face and look in that mirror. I tell them to leave it there for 30 days. Sound silly doesn’t it? But it is a first step to introduce them to writing down more.
Hint Hint….I wrote down a “I want a man that…” list 20 years ago and out popped David. I manifested him and we are still on our honeymoon. So there you have it. My story of how it works!
Thanks Val!

Donna, I absolutely love your lipstick on the mirror idea!
At a personal development seminar I attended we did something similar. Our assignment that week was to look at yourself in the mirror and say, “You Rock!” It felt silly yet empowering at the same time.
Becoming clear on who you are & what you want from life attracts that to your life. How awesome!
Thanks so very much for sharing your story. It truly does work,

Hi Val,
what a great post and thanks for sharing your dream life with us. Your enthusiasm to help others really comes through and as is the rewarding feeling. To many go through life bobbing like a cork on the ocean, unaware that they have a choice if they’s only set themselves goals, a compass heading.

Dear Val,
Thanks for your wonderful sharing with us.
I love your video. Your words are powerful in your post.
I do feel very close to you and am allowing myself to
share with you an important point:
Although, the sentence ‘I am going to write a book.’ is in present tense, its meaning is future – indicates it is not done yet, the book will be written but it is not yet.
You very eloquently put it in your post – in the points of what is important to have in our statements.
The most powerful way to say it is ‘I write books.’ instead of ‘I am going to write a book.’. The form ‘going to’ makes it in the future and this manifests – it will always feel very close but still not done and in the future.
Infinite love and gratitude to you,

You are so right. Having a powerful vision or desire statement assists us in speaking our new lives into existence. Choosing to be a master of our thoughts and beliefs is essential to achieving your true potential.
First thing in the morning and at evening are so powerful because our subconscious mind is so open at these times.
