Dreaming of cake.

“And, when you want something, all the universe conspires in helping you to achieve it.” ― Paulo Coelho, The Alchemist

Some people dream of cake. Then one day, life hands them the batter, eggs, oil, icing, a pan, and an oven—everything they need is right there in the kitchen, ready to become a delicious cake. But instead of getting started, they get frustrated and walk away.

Let that sink in.

Sometimes, even when everything is laid out right in front of us, it still takes action to turn the dream into reality. You have to measure, mix, bake—and then enjoy the cake! That part is up to you. Only you can take the ingredients and turn them into something wonderful. But remember, the universe has already done its part, providing the tools and ingredients you need.

How often in life do we miss the signs and walk away, never getting the cake? We may never know. But the real question is—how often do we recognize the chance to create our dream “cake” and take action to make it real?
