Boomerang
I believe that words and thoughts are like boomerangs that bounce off our dreams and goals in the future. What comes back to us are signs, people and pathways that will help us move towards our dreams. Like a boomerang, these thoughts and words hit an “invisible plane” before returning to the sender. I think of this plane as the place in the future where dreams and goals dwell, and the strength of our beliefs in them determine how well the boomerang returns into the present, the path forward.
Have you ever remembered someone from years ago that you had lost contact with, and that very day you get a call from them?
