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.
