Hey Fellow Dreamers!!
If you need
a kick in the butt to get back in
touch with your Dreams Into Action
by Milton Katselasour dream, read "Dreams into Action - Getting What You
Want" by my acting coach,
Milton Katselas. Milton & his book appeared on Oprah, along with
some of his students including:
Emmy winner Doris Roberts of "Everybody Loves Raymond,"
Jeffrey Tambor, Tony Danza, &
Anne Archer. Jenna Elfman is also
in my class, and she thanked him during the Golden Globes telecast when
she won best actress! Milton & his book changed my life. I believe in it
so strongly that I want to share it with you. This works, but only if
you use it. It's available at Amazon.com and can check it out
in the Barbara Niven Favorites
carousel at the bottom of the page. |

I love living my dream of being an actress!
Are you living your dream? If not...why not? Everything is
possible! Start changing your life today - and as my acting coach,
Milton Katselas says: "Don't give up five minutes before the miracle!"
Remember when you were a child and you thought
everything was possible? Well, it still is! But something happens
to us as we grow up, and we think we have to settle and be practical. I
want you to take your dreams back out of the box and start making them
come true, so that you can have the life you love and deserve. I am
living proof that it's possible.
Think a minute...What got you side-tracked
from your dream in the first place? What are you going to do now
to change that and get back to creating the kind of life you want?
At the end of your life, you don't want to
wonder "WHAT IF?" Dreams come in all shapes and sizes. Maybe it's
opening a restaurant, having a family, finishing school, being a
musician, a doctor, a pilot...even the crazy dream of being an actress!
Believe me, that's a scary thing to announce when you're a young mother
living in Portland, Oregon. I was surrounded by "practical" people who
laid every possible guilt trip on me. So I didn't rock the boat for a
very long time. I settled.
But I felt like I was dying inside a little
more every day. Can you relate? Finally one day a notice for my
ten year high school reunion came in the mail, and a question asked,
"Have you achieved what you thought you would ten years ago?" It hit me
like a ton of bricks that I was only living everybody else's idea of who
I should be. And I was spurred into action.
There's no age limit on getting started on
your dreams! I didn't start my Acting dream until I was older
than most who start in my business, after being married and having a
child. In fact, everybody said "You're crazy, you're way too old to ever
make it!" But you know what, I'd be the same age I am now anyway, even
if I'd never tried it. I'm glad I didn't listen to them! Yes, it's been
a struggle to achieve success in this crazy business I'm in, and there
have been heartaches and poor times, believe me. But I have so loved my
life and my journey! I get paid to do what I absolutely love to do!
Isn't that unbelievable?!!! I still pinch myself. And giggle.
It takes courage to put your dream up there
for everyone to see! The hardest thing is declaring yourself and
getting started. People try to shoot you down. They notice you
"changing," and it threatens them....because if they see you going for
your dream, they have to face themselves and the fact that they are
still settling for less than their own.
It's important to get away from that negative
energy if you're going to become all you are destined to be! You
have to seek out and band together with other Dreamers, sharing positive
energy and the belief that life is too short to settle for less than
wonderful!
That's why I created the Dreamers Network
-- to be our support group, to inspire and cheer each other on,
to cry together over our temporary setbacks, to celebrate our wins, and
ultimately to FLY TOGETHER!
Take an action toward your dream right now
and go post your dream on the Dreamers Network message board. Declaring
it and writing it down is a great first step. You'll be amazed at the
posts and support you'll get back. And then you can jump in and help
others with your own advice and encouragement. It's a network of people
helping people, from all over the world. We've had three years' worth of
success stories so far. To see all the past dream topics, go to the
upper right corner and change the "Show the last 20 days" default

same dream. You'll find you're not alone in your quest! |
