Start Living Your Dreams before Your Dreams Leave You



Dear Loving people,

I know its been a while and no news from me. I am happy to reconect today. Here we go...

 

I’ve been told to make a plan, stick to it, and make it happen. I’ve been told to set a goal, set a date, and watch it come true. I’ve been told to not set a goal. I’ve been told to let your course change as you go. One thing is true, I’m happy when I’m doing things I love. When I’m happy I help others. I bring them up. In order to help others, you need to help you. But how do we help ourselves?


My people, while here on earth, follow your passion. This means becoming an expert in everything you love. Chances are, if you really enjoy doing something, you will not only have an easier time excelling at it, but you will enjoy setting aside time, each day, to polish your skills at doing the things you love. When you’re doing things you love you are re-energizing yourself. Every time you do something you love, you invest in yourself. You make yourself a better you. Ultimately you create an endless circle of productivity within your passion. Sounds simple doesn’t it.

I know that we all want to live out our dreams, and create the life we want. But it can be scary isn’t it?

1.       It’s scary to think about what will happen if we follow our hearts when it doesn’t seem very practical.
2.       It’s scary to give up the safe, predictable existence of the 9 to 5.
3.       It’s scary to do what you think you can’t do.
4.       It’s scary to think that you might fail.
5.       It’s scary when you’re not sure where to start.
  

I tell you, the time is now to reclaim your personal power and freedom. You could stay small, you could play it safe. But that’s not a life, that’s just existing. If you want to live on your terms, you have to stop seeking permission. The best way to get permission is to not need it. So let’s let go of…

1.       Letting our lives be dictated by fear of failing.
2.       Allowing uncertainty about where to start keep us from ever taking the first step to living our dreams.
3.       Trying to create the perfect plan or waiting for the perfect time to start your dream journey. (Here’s a hint: that time will never come.)
4.       Thinking that we have to live the way others tell us to. (We can make our own rules.)
5.       Settling for something other than what we truly want.

My dear people, life is limitless. The moment we start to think otherwise we start to put restraints on ourselves and our abilities. Too many people limit their potential because they don’t want to spend the time it requires to get to where they wan’t to be. They focus too much on the limitations of what they have which holds them back from the possibilities of what could be. Whether you’re talking about the possibilities of your career, the possibilities of your health or the possibilities of your relationships; you need to think about what you can do to achieve what it is you’re aiming for. Stop making excuses because so and so doesn’t like you, or your country doesn’t have the economic support for your business and do something. Do something meaningful and do something that defies what others thought was impossible.

But above all, learn to do one thing – start living your dreams before your dreams leave you.
