Yayys yayyss yayyss Vera..  you hit the nail on the head again.

First of all.. I love love love Oprah, all that she stands for and is uncovering to the world through her power and platform.

Secondly, I can see you.. heck.. even myself being on one of her Super Soul Sunday specials..yayyss

Thirdly, I completely agree with what you wrote. It iseems as if I were a book and you quoted my mind. Yes yes and yes.. dream big, absolutely big. Many people are really afraid to dream big. They think that having millions of dollars wouldn't fit into their modest outlook on life. Or think they wouldn't be able to manage a huge corporation...
My suggestion is, to dream big and boldly and see where it takes you. Give it a shot, and don't dream in steps or phases, think from the end, know exactly where you want to be in life and have faith that you are already there.
There are too many stories of rags to riches (Oprah being one), college dropout to billionaire (Bill Gates), dreamers who people thought were insane (Walt Disney), people born with less than privileges  (Jack Ma of Alibaba)... so what's your excuse?..what's my excuse?

Everyday I get up and look in the mirror and feel the part of the person I truly see myself to be. Every night before I drift to sleep, there is no way someone could tell me I wasn't the person who I saw myself to be because it felt so real. And I just patiently wait for the rest of the world to see, and for events to unfold that shows everyone else the reality I saw myself to be. And really, really really, don't let it get to you when people don't believe you, put you down, or what may seem like things working against you. Ignore the outside world so much that people think you are living in a bubble. I have friends and family who constantly ask me if I've seen the news about so and so??? Or comment and point out the contrast of what I desire... ignore it all, their comments, don't matter.

I'm so glad you shared this list with us Vera, not only are you putting it out there, you already have specific desires I'm sure you can easily see yourself living from it.

I too share a similar list such as this, and me writing mine would only seem like I am duplicating yours. However I have always had a passion for good food, good company, and a good easy life.
Charities and foundations (especially ones uplifting women)
Traveling and learning about other cultures (this is where my food critique and writing would benefit)
Building such a strong foundation that it easily launches me into anything I desire.. be it the millions, the projects, the goals...

J. K. Rowling once said "Rock bottom became the solid foundation on which I rebuilt my life." That has been my so called mantra, which has helped me to overcome huge trauma in my life. I have always seen myself as this women who overcame this huge obstacle that was supposed to destroy her but only did the opposite.. write a book about it and influence millions...
So there.. I have let out my secret. I am the next J K Rowling. . I am the next Elizabeth Gilbert, Gabrielle Bernstein,  Mastin Kip..and I am writing my way to the top, where the dictionary and thesarus will be my best friend...haha..and all the posting here and expansion is only preparing me naturally for the next step..

And I really don't want to sabotage your thread Vera, but obviously you shared this for a reason.

Berryluv, please share yours as well. I ask can't wait to read about your successes and read your books!

Love JK Rowling!!! I love her Harvard speech as well! 

There I go again, thinking the world revolves around me.. hahaha..
Ok ok fine, I'll share with the rest of the forum..

I agree with you. The feeling is very important.

But many people don't dare to dream the impossible. I always think that when your goals make you feel uncomfortable, you're on the right path.

Our true nature is one that has unlimited power and capable of all knowledge and complex understanding; yet we don't really take advantage of that unlimited power within us.

If we can build a huge multi-million dollar company, why settle for a lemonade stand? If we can get paid $1,000 / hour, why settle for $10 / hour? Because most of us don't realize that these things are within our reach right here, right now.

So I encourage everyone to dream big. I believe that all efforts are equal. The kind of mental discipline that it takes to achieve $1M is the same kind of mental discipline it takes to achieve $100M. Knowing that all efforts  are equal, why not dream the greatest dream?

The only limitation is the mind.
