Once you have committed yourself to achieve your dream, you should begin to notice something rather odd starting to happen in your life: the universe actually begins to help you to achieve it.

You just need to be open-minded - that is, you need to be ready and willing to receive what the universe (you might prefer to say God) has in store for you. Some people call this principle the Law of Attraction, but whatever you call it, it is quite true that you will absolutely set in motion unseen forces that will definitely assist you with the manifestation of your dream.


People, events, and circumstances will be drawn to you that will actually assist you in the achievement of your dream. You can probably only fully accept this truth when you experience it for yourself and once you have committed to your dream, you will begin to experience it. Things will start to happen. They may seem like a coincidence at first, but you are now living in an altered reality.

 As an example of this principle in action, let's take a brief look at the true story of Rudy Ruettiger. You may know that Rudy had a dream. His dream - now the subject of a truly inspiring movie - was to play football (American) for Notre Dame. Everyone told him it couldn't be done. But this is how the universe helped him to achieve his dream.

When Rudy was 22 years old, one of his friends bought a Notre Dame jacket for him. Rudy recalls that, on his birthday, when his friend presented it, he commented, 'Rudy, you were born to wear this jacket!' These words somehow touched his heart and he resolved, there and then, to do something about it. So he took a bus en route to South Bend, Indiana, with the specific goal of meeting the Notre Dame Championship football coach, Ara Parseghian, to discuss the matter further.

 It turned out that Rudy needed to improve his grades before he could even be considered for Notre Dame, which he did by attending Holy Cross Junior College. Unable to find suitable accommodation, he slept in the maintenance room, and after numerous applications and trials, he was finally accepted by Notre Dame and eventually made the football team as a walk-on.


Rudy was not really considered good enough to play for the team, but he never missed a practice match and was there, suited-up during the final game of his senior year. Now, many people in the crowd knew of Rudy's goal to play for the team and in the final minutes of the last game, the crowd started chanting: Rudy! Rudy! Rudy! Coach Dan Devine was so moved that he put him into the game in the last 27 seconds and, in the final play, he sacked the quarterback. Rudy was then carried off the field in triumph, on the shoulders of his team-mates.

When you carry your own dream within, you too will be able to touch the hearts and minds of the people around you in much the same way and it is a truly wonderful and uplifting experience when you find out for yourself that the universe does indeed help you to achieve your goal.
