What if making dreams come true is just so easy? Can we let go of our doubts? Is it possible? How can we do it so magically so that it is as easy as brushing our teeth? This excerpt from ONE Book by Masami Sato shows us exactly how to do it step-by-step, preparing you to start walking towards your dreams today.

All of us have dreams. But all of us do not have faith in ourselves so that we can have those dreams and live them in our lifetime. In fact, the secret to have such assuredness is simple. And the reason why we hesitate so much is also straightforward.

Let us start with the first question that can be asked to us..

Why do we not do the things we want to do?

Often, our thinking stops our actions. Often the more we think about it, the less we usually are committed to achieve what we originally wanted to do. Often the more we think about something, we come up with a greater number of reasons for not doing it.

Then is it possible to be certain that we will definitely accomplish what we want to do in our life?

Yes, absolutely! For a start, let’s look at the power of habits

If we have to be present at a meeting tomorrow night, we would not be spending too much of time thinking whether we would be able to get there or not. We would not be worried about the possibility of having a car accident and failing to attend the meeting. In fact, when we go to use the toilet, we are unlikely to worry if it might be out of order.

We have so much more sureness about these types of ‘normal’ activities we indulge in every day. They are the habits.

However, we doubt our dreams

The interesting part is that there are several things that we are not very sure about. These are the things that we really want to do in our lives - our Dreams!

So, what is the secret for the assurance that we will realize our dreams?

First: Simply make it a daily habit!

We can start being more certain about our actions to meet our desires-the type of desires that really nourishes our life.

For example, if a person’s dream is to make his fair share of contributions to the society, and giving is a big yearning in his life, there is no need to doubt the possibility of being able to make that contribution. Al that is necessary is to make it a daily habit.

Second: Try to make it as important (and as much easy) as brushing teeth..

Realising dreams can be just like brushing one’s teeth. It simply doesn’t feel nice if we do not brush our teeth for pretty long, isn’t it? We can’t bother to spend hours considering which toothpaste we should use or wait to clean teeth till there is some need to do so. We feel a little out of sorts if our teeth are not clean. So we clean them. That is all!

Coming back to our example, if giving is so important to us, we have to ask ourselves certain questions: What if giving is in fact of as much importance as brushing our teeth? What if it is making us feel good? What if it is helping to maintain our health?

No matter how much or little we perceive we have right now, we really can start giving and sharing today. So no matter how seemingly impossible it is to achieve our dreams, we can start walking towards them today. We can if we see it as something important, a top priority that we should do every day! Then we won’t feel comfortable if we don’t do it. Just like brushing our teeth.

and Third: Give first, then we will get

When we are ready to give first before we have even got what we yearn for - what we are dreaming of - we are sending a strong message to ourselves which says, ‘there is enough, and more will come.’ It lets us know the joy today - the joy of sharing.

If you want to be wealthy, be munificent. Then you are sure to be blessed with abundance. If you are intelligent enough to do so, do not hesitate to teach others. Then you will learn more. If you feel like giving, just give the whole of you. And do it without expecting anything in return. Just let go. The act of giving is its own reward. The simple satisfaction of giving.

So do not be afraid to share and give what you have, for it will not hinder you from achieving your purpose, whatever it is. It will only make you achieve your dreams quicker. And your journey there will be full of joy.

But are not habits very small, when compared to our BIG dreams?

Just do it, don’t worry about the ’scale’

Anything can happen in life. Things may develop in a small way. And these small things might take us to another action, and that will connect to another. The sureness we feel about our actions, and managing them one by one, keeps on taking us forward. But if we think that it is not possible to do something now, just because it is a little formidable, it simply will not happen.

The secret of achieving one’s dreams has always been there, and it will always be there. Those who are winners, who have inspired others, and have known perfect joy, have realized this. They are continuously using it.

Visions and miracles do not happen accidentally. We choose to create them.

So, would you start walking towards your dreams today?

Jack Schwarz, the brilliant humanitarian, educator, philosopher, naturopath and internationally known authority on voluntary controls in human energy systems, said, “Inherent in every problem is a solution, but we become so associated with the problem that the solution can not arrive”.

Having studied with Jack for over 6 years, I learned to voluntarily attain specific brainwave states and enter into theta at will. From this state, I have been able to lower blood pressure, create different emotional states and to control pain. I also was able to replace painful memories with peace and joy. Many years later, I found in theta, a way to reach my dreams.

Jack Swartz believed that a vital energy field permeates all thought and space in the way of potential and essential un-manifested fields, which create physical matter, which is called the Source state. Our reality is undefined and unlimited in potential. What we can create is endless.

We hold immortal ideas and ancient wisdom within our DNA and adapt to the physical world by our perception. We choose from the wave of open-ended potential, discrete particles of thought and consciousness (our perception), that we then freeze into an idea - a belief that we define as our reality - and we only attract experiences to us that verify what we have created. We also repel those experiences that do not match that choice of our reality.

The secret to this way of living is being unidentified with opinions that have been superimposed on you by the world outside. If the world drummed into you that financial success means you are a good person, the financial reverse would mean that you are not.

If you take a position that is neutral with no judgment about your circumstances, you will find that you are more flexible and find more opportunities. You will be able to attract more situations and go forward with new ways that will help you achieve what you want your life to be.

Several notes played simultaneously is called an acoustic guitar chord. Even though there are many different acoustic guitar chords, you can get away with learning just a few basic acoustic guitar chords and still play some of the latest and all time classic pop songs (not just Status Quo songs). A chord sound evokes an emotion in people. Major chords have an up beat, cheerful sound while minor chords are thought to be slightly darker or sadder in timbre.

Acoustic guitar chord diagrams notate guitar chords so that beginners can read and practice playing a chord. Rather than side to side (horizontal) the common notation for guitar tabs, the lines that represent an acoustic chord diagram will run up and down, or vertically. You will see a grid when looking at a chord diagram. The strings are represented by the vertical lines, while the frets are represented by the horizontal lines. The place where your fingers should go is represented by dots.

The acoustic guitar chord diagram will display six lines with numbers on those lines. The lines represent the stings from top to bottom of the guitar neck, and the numbers represent which finger is to be used on the string to produce a chord. 1 indicates that the index finger should be used, 2 for the middle finger, 3 for the ring finger, 4 for the little finger, and T for rare instances that the thumb is used. O represents an open string that is played, and strings marked with an X are not played.

One acoustic guitar chord you will use frequently is G major. This chord uses three fingers of your left hand: the middle finger on the third fret of the sixth string, the index finger on the second fret of the fifth string, and the ring finger on the third fret of the first string. Leave the other three strings open. Then play all six strings, one at a time. You should be able to hear the chord clearly. If you hear buzzing or rattling, adjust your fingers on the frets. Move your finger down the string or try pressing the strings down harder on the fingerboard if the tone sounds off. Check to see that your fingers aren’t touching each other or any of the other strings. Then when all the notes sound in tune, give them a strum all at once. You’ve just played a G-major acoustic guitar chord.

The E-minor acoustic guitar chord is easier on the left hand. The E-minor chord uses only two left-hand fingers: the index and middle fingers, both on the second fret, of the fifth and fourth strings respectively. Make sure that both strings are held firmly without the two fingers touching each other. You may want to play those two strings several times by themselves before attempting the chord, so you can adjust the fingering if needed. Then strum all strings to play an E minor chord. Since this is a minor chord, the sound will be darker.

If you are a beginner, good basic acoustic guitar chords to learn are A-major, A-minor, C-major and D-major. A key skill to master is to get these individual chords down like second nature. Your fingers should move to the right places almost instinctively. Once you are happy with this, you should practice moving back and forth between these acoustic guitar chords as quickly as you can. Practicing quick finger placement is critical.

When first learning the acoustic guitar chords you will need to start off slow, and eventually, your fingers will get in place by themselves. With some practice, your fingers will be moving quickly across these acoustic guitar chords. Mastering the chords is one of the fundamental building blocks to playing the guitar and playing songs that you’ve always dreamed of playing.
