Door to Your Dreams….
Written by Michele T on May 8, 2008 – 9:09 pm -By
You probably can’t see the inspiring words on the front of this spiral notebook I bought yesterday.
These six words jumped out at me and spoke volumes to my soul! I had no intentions of buying a notebook, but I couldn’t resist this one.
It’s true, the door to our dreams is right in front of us—just up a head a little ways. Like the rainbow we talked about in the previous post, it’s there, we just can’t see it yet. All we have to do is stay on the path that leads to it - no matter how rocky the terrain gets - and have the strength to open our door once we reach it. Sounds simple, doesn’t it?
Sometimes the only thing holding us back from our dreams is us. Yes, that’s right. Maybe we’re afraid of the unknown. Maybe we’re beating ourselves up, thinking we don’t deserve all the goodness that awaits us. Who knows? But the door is there, and we’re the only ones with the power – the key – to open it.
So, what do you say? Are you ready to unlock and open the door to your dreams? Do you have enough muscle to pull hard enough to yank that door open and flail it against the wall? Do you have enough ambition, faith, hopes and dreams to bust through with all your might? Think about it….
Keep watching for your rainbows, but don’t forget to keep an eye out for the door to your dreams; it will enable you to have much success writing the cyber highway!

I can definitely relate to what holds me back. What a great positive post Michele. It’s so good to have you back!!
I’ve missed you.

Ah, I missed you too!
*sniffles*
I’m glad I saw that notebook at the store and had inspiration from that phrase slap me in the face! I’m in the process (really this time for real!) of moving my blog to WordPress. I’ve been thinking and talking about it for a looooooooong time now, but I’m actually going through the process now. Won’t be long and you’ll be visiting a new cyber highway!
It’ll still feel like home, though. Promise!
So glad I could share something positive. I know what you mean about relating to what holds you back. It’s not always easy to “just go for it.”
Take care!

Thanks, Jeanne! I do love this notebook. I haven’t even written in it yet! I’m saving it for those special inspiring thoughts.

I’m always inspired by the cover of a new journal…one of my favorites has a brown leather cover with the quote: “If you wish to be a writer, write…”

Hi, Roxiticus, and welcome to Writing the Cyber Highway! That is a beautiful quote on your journal as well. I love quotes, notebooks, pens… Oh, don’t get me started! I’ve often dreamt of winning a shopping spree at an office supply store.

Hi, Sharon. Welcome to Writing the Cyber Highway! I’m glad you found me, and left such a delightful comment.
Thanks so much!
I love the journal too. It really ’spoke’ to me from the shelf at that store.
You’re welcome here anytime, by the way.
