If you feel any of this, this page is for you.

There are two parts to this and both are equally important.

If that's the case for you, then forget about the "When my life is ideal" part. Complete the sentence "I love ___________."

Passion springs from the heart. If you feel blocked then the first step is to reconnect with your heart. Begin with the things you love most in your life, the things which are most important to you. Who do you love? What do you love doing? What kinds of environments do you love being in? What do you love to experience?

Some of us have gotten into the habit of putting our attention on the things we don't like in our life. These things can also point us in the direction of what we love. If this is you, think about the things you really dislike. Then turn them around.

For example, "I hate to be sick." Turn it around to, "I love to be healthy." Or "I hate to taking out the garbage." Turn it around to, "I love having the freedom to do what I enjoy."

Using this process make your initial list of "passions" from this list of things you love. Then take The Passion Test, identify your top five, and begin to choose in favor of the things you love. As you do this, you will connect more and more to your heart's desires, and you will find the passion in your life steadily increasing.

False beliefs, false concepts and false ideas are the only things which prevent you from living a miraculous life. If you have a hard time seeing how amazing you are or how unlimited your possibilities are, then we recommend you do The Work.

Mozart was not the first to be born with natural talents and he wasn't the last. We all have them - all of us. We only need to discover what they are and use them to the best of our abilities. You have been given amazing gifts that are meant to be shared with the world. Your job is to find out what those talents are and master them. When you focus most of your time and energy on your natural talents, you will find that you reap phenomenal rewards.

These are all excuses. And all the excuses in the world won't destroy talent. It will be there, waiting for us to fight through fear and "what ifs" until we realize what we should have been doing our entire lives. We have been given natural talents for a reason - to use them to the betterment of the planet and those who inhabit it.

Have you ever noticed that when you engage in an activity in which you are naturally talented, you feel energized, excited and optimistic? That's a sign that these are the things you should be focusing upon. For example, when I stand in front of an auditorium filled with thousands of people, and speak to them about fulfilling their dreams, my body is filled with energy - so much that I'm practically buzzing all over. I'm so excited I can hardly stand still.

Your job is to find out what makes you buzz and begin to perfect it. Discover your brilliance in life (see "This Week's Action Step" below) and practice, practice, practice. You must hone your natural abilities to perfect them - concentrate on your strengths, not your weaknesses. Look at the world's greatest athletes. They practice what they're naturally good at - and what they love to do - every day. You don't see Michael Jordan sitting around trying to decipher a strand of DNA. If that was something he was talented at that's what he would be doing. But it's not. He's a brilliant athlete and businessman. He sticks to what he does best and has reaped astounding rewards because of it.

There are only two steps to success - discover your brilliance and perfect it. Doing this will allow you to receive the wealth you truly deserve.

Differentiate between your strengths and weaknesses. Then forget about your weaknesses and concentrate on your strengths. Business coach Dan Sullivan once said, "If you spend too much time working on your weaknesses, all you end up with is a lot of strong weaknesses</ span>."

To make the definition crystal clear between your strengths and weaknesses, I want you to take out a journal or notepad and pen and ask yourself a few questions. What are some activities that you excel at without a lot of effort, study or preparation? What do you do well that most people find difficult? What can you do that people marvel at/make "wow" comments about? If you had all the money you could ever spend - meaning money is not a concern of yours anymore - what would you do for a career/ hobby?

Now, you may have a list of 5 to 10 activities. On a scale of 1 -10, 10 being what you're most talented at, rank these activities. Your biggest rewards will come from spending the majority of your time honing your talents in the activities you've ranked 7 and higher.

Once you have your top activities - you should have 5 or fewer - choose the one you love to do the most and practice, practice, practice. Hone this talent on a daily basis. If you love to paint, set aside time to paint every day. If you love to golf, go golfing daily - even if it's in your backyard. If you want to write a novel or screenplay, decide how many pages or scenes you'll write each day and do it.

You have been given talents that no one else has, that no one can do quite the way you can. When you use them and perfect them you are celebrating being alive and giving thanks to the Higher Power who bestowed them upon you.

Sounds like an oxymoron doesn't it?

How can science possibly relate to dreams?

One's hard and fast with proof and evidence, and one is airy- fairy fantasy and wishes.

Right????

Well maybe and maybe not.

Lets take a look at a few things and see what we can see.

Is electricity a dream?

In some parts of the world, yes, but it's a real enough actuality in this country to the point that we feel we all have an inalienable right to it. We can measure it, count it, round it up, and prove it exists, but back before Ben Franklin started tinkering around with kites and lightning, electricity was just a dream, wasn't it?

Is human flight a dream?

Well we whiz through the skies every day so much that we have to have traffic cops - air traffic controllers - to make sure we don't run into one another up there. We can walk through countless calculations and scientific reasons that our flight is possible, but when the Wright brothers got started human flight was just plain crazy, right?

The same is true with your dreams and mine. They may seem like crazy fantasies, but there is a science to them as well. A methodical, measurable, calculable reason that you can have your dreams and that they do exist.

The catch is, the rest of the world only sees the scientific inevitability of your dreams once you have already achieved them. The proof is there for everyone else only AFTER the fact.

The magical part though is that the reality and scientific feasibility of it is there all along. Benjamin Franklin didn't invent electricity - it had always been there.

He discovered it.

The Wright Brothers didn't invent human flight, they discovered how to do it.

Our dreams already exist. They're just waiting for us to find them. Waiting for us to bring them into the world. What dream do you want to start creating today? Big or small, world changing or comparatively mundane, your dreams are yours for a reason. YOU are the one who is supposed to make them come true.

The task may seem a little daunting - especially when you have big dreams - and that's why we've created this process.

The "Science of Creating Dreams."

Our goal (read also as our DREAM) at Healthy Wealthy nWise is to help you make your dreams a reality to help you become that person that you know in the deepest part of your soul that you can become - the one that lives in those dreams.

You know the one. The one that you secretly long to be but the thought leaves you more than slightly terrified with butterflies in the pit of your stomach and that little know- it-all voice in the back of your head pipes up and says,

"Who are you kidding? Who do you think you are anyway?  Why don't you come back to the 'real' world now?"

So for the next 20 minutes you've got a very important assignment that's going to be the #1 most important thing you can do to create those dreams . . .

(go to www.healthywealthynwise.com, click on "Step 1" to subscribe for free to the magazine, and receive all six installments of "The Science of Creating Your Dreams</ span>" including the exercises).

First, make a list of several peak moments in your life. Five are usually enough. This is best done in chronological order. Think of a moment before you began school. Another could be in elementary school. The next could have happened while you were in high school. Then, think of one when your were a young adult. You get the idea.

Once you have your peak moments written down, think back and ask, "What made this moment so special to me?" Was it the attention you got? Perhaps it was the feeling of accomplishment. Maybe it was the physical exhilaration of the experience itself. Whatever made these moments special therein lies the key to your passion. That is what makes you exceed your own expectations. That's what drives you.

Now, consider what you do well, that others don't. Perhaps, like my friend, you have a feel for what makes a great picture. Maybe you are a powerful encourager or team leader. On the other hand, you may be great with cars, or an expert sailor. What you do most effortlessly is you passion.

Consider what you could create with your talent. My friend can take powerful pictures that others would pay to have in their homes. My wife is great with music and has a knack for interesting children in a variety of learning activities. She's a natural teacher. You are sure to have some talent, some interest, something you can do better than anyone you know. That, you can turn into a product, workshop, seminar, article, or that book you should write.

You also need to have a handle on your individual strengths and weaknesses (or as Chris and Janet say, "The things you weren't meant to do, and the things somebody else is supposed to do."). No one can be all things to all people. We all have some things we can do better than other things. Once you have a handle on your strengths (athletics, leadership, aesthetics, construction, cooking, encouraging, and so forth), you will also have a better understanding of your passions.

What you can't do well, when it needs to be done, give to others. You do what you do well. Let them do what they do better. Indeed, do for each other. That way you both can focus on your passions.

Let everything else go. Delegate what does not drive you. Focus on what you do best and like most.
