On Friday, I was doing my daily mountain climb in the San Francisco Bay Area. The trail is long and is roughly 6 miles. 3 miles out and 3 miles back. It is not easy but it really teaches you persistence and hard work. While on the trail, I go over my daily goals and aspirations and put together my strategies to make the dream work.

Dreams Come True with Patience and Persistence
I also do visualizations while on the trail as I look at the peak of Mt. Diablo dreaming about making these dreams come real. I made a statement to myself saying that I wanted to increase my website traffic to generate over 4,000 actual hits for the month of October 2009. I didn’t think anything of it and kept jogging. I actually had a lot of things on my mind but I like to put those aside when on this trail. I deal with myself, God, and me and nothing more while on this trail. It’s when God speaks to me the most.
I came back to the house, showered, and got busy working and laying down my plans. Friday evening, a call comes to me from one of my clients in Atlanta, GA to tell me about a story of interest. I contemplated whether or not I should run the story since it was such short notice. I decided to run it, thought no more about it, and went out with friends for drinks and then came back home and went to bed.
I woke up Saturday morning October 3, 2009 at about 8:00 a.m. to head to the mountain again. Before I set out on this daily journey, I decided to check my Google Analytics and stats for all web publishing sites. I had over 7,000 hits of that story in less than 12 hours from posting it. Remember, Friday morning on the trail I had asked God to help me get to 4,000 for the month. Not only was this answered but it was far exceeded.
This is an example of visualization and actualization. Dreams do become reality with these two ingredients and it will happen for you too. I had no idea that it would be like that. I just put the dream out to the universe and let the Universal Mind and Spirit take over. Please keep your dreams alive and continue to push forward to reach all of your goals. There are no limits as you see God helped me completely destroy my own self imposed limit of 4,000 for the entire month.
