Step 2 is to dream smart. Yield, work with what you are, don’t dream beyond what you can achieve. Dream in stages. Learn to set goals. You must work with your actual body, mind and spirit. Get there with your body, mind and spirit and not just a dummy head.

How many of you ever ask God: “I desire this…", “Let me try this…” Always take action – don’t just stick your butt on a cold chair and shiver. If there is a problem there is always a solution. The solution you make is always a smart one because it’s better than doing nothing. Smile and ask! Ask God for help – be charming, ask with sincerity, joy and respect! Joy is the power that makes the earth turn!

Include others in your dream! Don’t just think about me, me, me. Share your joy and power! Returning is the motion of the Dao – give 1, get 3. It takes wisdom to give 1. If you are willing to give 1, you will return to your 3. Your dream should include others, facilitating for others. Are you here to possess or to facilitate. The most powerful dreams include the world.

When you look at your dream, you can tell if it is good quality, it will move like a horse (not a donkey). Be who you are. Don’t be fake. Be careful, be sincere. Heaven knows who you are. Walk the talk! Be yourself.

Your son and daughter will model after you, so be real, be consistent, show the most positive part of yourself. You are their window of the world. If you are always stressed you cannot teach true happiness. True happiness starts in your heart. Show your children the best of the world. Show them happiness. You have to start somewhere, carving the wood (see last blog) even if you have to fake it a bit when you begin. Teach the joy and happiness that is out there.

Your dream is for yourself first; it’s not about how others look at you. That sucks away your joy. Things happen for a reason. Everyone walks in their own shoes. You can always learn from somebody.

Step 3 to manifesting your dream is a healthy body! Good Qi leads to a prosperous dream. Good Qi leads to good luck. The human body has its three treasures: Jing, Qi and Shen. Jing and Qi are like the water in which the Shen swims. If Jing is weak, then Qi will be weak. The Shen is the spirit, your wisdom, God in you. It is your conscience telling you right and wrong. In the end the form, the body, disappears but Shen lasts forever. It travels. It’s spooky. Today you live in this earth.

The quantity and quality of water determine quality and happiness of the fish which equals luck. The boat rises with the tide. Don’t look outside for some secret. Do the work! “My life is in my own hands, not in heaven’s!” You must do the work yourself. Meditate, do Qi Gong. Practice health improvement techniques and your life will change. Do Tai Chi, Qi Gong, meditate, etc.

Build a happy spirit. Then you will be happy no matter what. Once you have that attitude the green stuff will fall from the sky – you won’t be able to stop it.

Never bargain with God. Say “Thank you God.”

Once your spirit is enriched the material will follow. You must have both to be balanced. Spirit comes first. You can’t reject either the spirit or the material. Jing and Qi are the power behind the dream. Improve your Jing and Qi, nourish your Shen and then you will prosper.

So first improve your attitude – release attachment and emotions, then dream smart, and third improve your Jing, Qi and Shen cultivating a healthy body.

Don’t wait for confirmation. Always put a golden face on first. Cheer yourself, confirm yourself. Don’t take away your joy with judgment. It’s entertainment! Enjoy one minute of pride and then it’s over. Grief, anger, etc., allow one minute only. Let yourself be your own savior.

What are your dreams? Peace? What are your higher level dreams? What is your higher level purpose? It’s great to have a purpose. Many of us have blurry purpose. It’s nice to get clarity. What are your dreams for health? You need a healthy body for long journey. After life still have another journey to go…

What is our view of the next journey? What is it? Why? Do you want prosperity? We don’t have to live poor or persecute to be rich. Prosperity is a reward of virtue. If you are a virtuous person then dream big! Don’t dream small.

How many of you not dare to dream big? You have the right to dream big. First must adjust your attitude; if you don’t believe you deserve success then you must change your attitude. Second you must dream smart, and third you must generate power behind your dream.

Why do your dreams not seem to come?

To apply this philosophy and take action is needed. How many put their idea into a plan. You need a strategy to achieve your goal. You must set philosophy. You must learn to yield; when water comes from the mountain it always winds around. You must know when and how to yield.

Talk in detail about dreams: money, sexy man, etc. First touch your heart and ask: am I the one to have this? The answer is yes! Because we are all equal between heaven and earth, we share the same space, we are equal, we have the same right to creation. Do not open the door to being less than an other. Give the right of equality, creativity to all, especially to the self. Give the self the right and the possibility of survival and creation. Thinking you are not worthy is your own worst enemy. Step 1 is to say “I Can Do It!” This is most important! You must believe “I am the one.” God has given the right to me. I am the one. No one can take away my right to enter heaven. We all have free access to heaven. Then we just have to know we are the one. No one can block you.

Taoist priests encourage everyone to live with dignity. Never look down on anyone! We all have equal access. Everyone has the right to enter heaven. Do not let anyone manipulate your free will. Don’t let anyone take away your right to pursue happiness and heaven.

Taoists encourage free dialogue, open dialogue, first with yourself. God is inside you. Dialogue often with the best of your wisdom and conscience. It is the best! This is direct dialogue. Indirect dialogue would be to go to my lecture, read book, watch DVDs, and such.

Don’t give your power away. You all have different standards of what is right and wrong. Don’t persecute yourself for not being the best parent. You’ve done the best because your intention was right. Don’t feel guilty if not accepted by your children or if you have problems with your parents, just cut the tie that binds – it’s a game, let go of the guilt. Guilt can eat you alive.

Emotions can be heavy baggage. You must strip them all off and run naked to the gate. Laugh at yourself as you hold on before your last breath. You can’t take anything with you but the laugh. The happiness is the only thing you can take with you!

You must learn how to open your hands to enjoy everything. Detach from your emotional and material desire. But, we are alive, so we must have some desire. We still need a roof over our head, to have bread and butter, so approach it with humor. Don’t live with fear or violence. Live with happiness, with a smile.

Happiness is the main purpose of life. So how to understand this? Everybody has enough. Every day we have enough, we just don’t know it. We don’t know how to enjoy it. Whether you have one dollar or one million dollars it’s all the same – enjoy what you have.

If you don’t form a healthy attitude to differentiate between spiritual and material wealth then you have created a living hell you struggle because you don’t know how to entertain life. You must learn to entertain life. Work with what you have. If you give two artists the same log they will create very different things. Work with what you have. The Tao follows what is nature. If you are born at a farmer’s home then be a farmer. If you want to be a leader in the world, then you have to deal with people’s stuff. Make the best of what you have! Enjoy what you have because then you can manifest more.

Healthy mind, healthy body, right attitude: no matter what have the same dignity, the same respect. If you change your tone, then you change your core. You must appreciate where you came from, have loyalty to friends, family, teachers. They are where you came from! Have the same attitude about where came from and who you are. Then you don’t change yourself. Remember the nature of who you are and where you came from!

You can’t dream on the empty ground. You have to accept the foundation first. The ground is most important. No matter how low or how high, can you always connect with this ground? If not your dream is a bubble.
