- Nathaniel Hawthorne, novelist.

- Esther Hicks, best-selling author and speaker.

There's a piece of manifestation that I haven't really written about that much and I'm feeling it this morning. And that is - STRUCTURE! There's a lot of talk about creativity and being fully expressed. And a lot of that talk comes from ME!
This idea that The Uni-verse is CREATIVE is out there and SO TRUE. AND - at the same time, it is also STRUCTURED. IN A HUGE WAY.
Without structure, life could not exist. The solar system is a structure. If the earth were closer or farther away from the sun, life on earth would not be possible. The skeleton in your body is the structure and foundation that allows us to live our lives. Imagine your body without a skeleton; it would just be a blob of muscles, skin and organs. You wouldn't be able to DO anything.
And that is EXACTLY what our lives are like without structure. Structure is the skeleton of your dreams.
I'm a little crazy in this department, but my structure fanaticism came from two places; first - a quote!
"I must create a system or be enslaved by another mans; I will not reason and compare: my business is to create."
- William Blake
LOOOVE me some William Blake!
I Love this quote - it means to me that if I do not structure my life, then either I will have to bend to someone else's structure or the whims of life. Because without structure, if other people want you to do things, we tend to do them - and we also let life "happen" to us.
Also, Tony Robbins says, "If it's not scheduled, it doesn't exist!"
Between Blake and Tony, we've got some amazing advice.
So, what's MY structure look like? Well, I have wall calendars that are laminated and I can write on them with removable pen. And I have nine of them, with two months on each one. So, I can see from today through February of 2014. And I know EXACTLY what I will be doing between now and the end of the year. Into 2013 it gets a little fuzzy, but I still have my MAIN anchor events laid out. And I always leave room for new developments to come into play.
Also, my calendar is scheduled. My workouts, my writing time, my time with clients, my travel dates and yes, even my relationship time with Jenna. It's all planned out. This is how I can run a business, launch a new website, mentor people, have a relationship, be writing a book, write blogs, workout (sometimes twice a day), have time for friends and continue to innovate what I'm doing with TDL. It's in a structure.
This structure also helps me know when to say YES and when to say NO. Saying NO is a BIG DEAL when it comes to our dreams. You may not have ALL your life to dedicate to your dreams just yet. But you CAN plan ahead and create your own structure. You can see how much time you have at your job and approximate how much left over time you will have to make your dreams come true.
If you don't have a calendar, get one. Put your workouts in there, put your dream time in there, schedule time with your honey, get it ON THE BOOKS. And then STICK TO IT!
There is SO MUCH more I could write about structure, but this is a GREAT start. Get ahead of yourself; it's great to be present, but it's also awesome to plan and look ahead. When you can see what's coming, it's SO much easier to get ready for it. Also, if something happens to knock you off your game, the structure you have created will help you find your center again, and more quickly.
Dreams require hard work and creativity! It's true. But without structure you are choosing to leave yourself at the "whim" of life and other people's systems; don't go there! Create YOUR life!
As always, the supa rad conversation happens on the BLOG, head on over there and let's keep the conversation going with the AWESOME TDL Family!
