3 Ways To Create And Swim Up Your Own Stream


There is a stream that is swum by the mass of humanity. They do what they are told. The train of popular thought and philosophy guides them. They parrot what the media parades before them. Their emotions are directed by the ebb and flow of popular opinion. Their peers lead them.
They don’t rock the boat. They don’t spill the beans. They accept without questioning. They question without thinking. They sound like, they look like, they live like, they dress like, and they act like all the others who reside within the very same stream.
Yet there are a growing number of individuals who are dissatisfied with the status quo. They question. They challenge. They choose to live life on their terms.
They seek out the answer to these three questions.

1. What Is My Dream?

Desire is a powerful force that is unleashed in your life when you have firmly established a dream in your heart and are willing to pursue.
When a dream is established – a way is made clear to that dream.
As one successful businessman once said, ‘When you have a dream in your heart, the facts don’t count.’
Something magical and something creative occurs when a dream is planted firmly in your heart.
The dream will get you up out of bed early. The dream will force you to work harder and smarter. The dream will keep you up late into the night.
Suddenly a life that may have been in a dormant state will come alive with a dream.
It builds. It builds faith. It builds hope. It builds resourcefulness. It builds energy.
Discover your dream and your life will take on a whole new meaning.

2. What Is My Beam?

The beam is your strength.
This strength is something that you can do, and that no other man or woman can do. It is your uniqueness. It is your gift. It is your talent. It is that which you gravitate towards. It is that which your friends and family clearly define as ‘you’. You are drawn to it like iron filings to a magnet.
Here is where you do not need to strive. It is here in fact that you thrive.
With a clear understanding of your ‘beam’ you will drive your life rather than being drive by life’s circumstances.
You will be in the driver’s seat once and for all – driven to be you. Driven to succeed on your own terms and in your own way.

3. What Is My Stream?

What stream have you been floating in to date?
What motions have you been going through on a daily basis?
When you go to work each day, do you look and sound like everyone around you?
Stop and take a look and ask yourself – ‘Where is my stream?’
If you want to change your life, if you are not satisfied with ‘life’s lot’, and if you know that you deserve better – then define your stream.
For your stream is your passion.
When you establish your passion you will not simply swim upstream. You will in fact skip to a whole new stream of thinking, of doing and of being.
Passion driven living needs its own stream. It requires its own place for expression and that will in turn burst its banks to refresh other streams.
Passion is infectious. Passion is contagious. Passion cannot be contained.
So create your stream by having a dream, strengthened by your uniqueness and fuelled by your passion.
