The one thing bestowed upon every human being is the right and the resources to DREAM.

Dreams are a window into a world of fun, fantasy, romance, and mystery. An alternative reality reserved for the daring, disturbing, frightening, and darn right bizarre.

Dreaming is assigned to the domains that discard all inhibitions. Where you become the fearless superhero on a mission to even the score, save the world before you’re decorated with a much-deserved medal of honor. Where you indulge the playground of your wildest imaginations.

Dreams take you to the highest mountains, the furthest planets, the deepest oceans, and to shores, yet to be discovered or explored.

And though dreams entertain your rawest fantasies and most flagrant appetites, more fundamentally, dreams prepare the soil for precious seeds to take root. Give form to your most colorful ideas, and create a fertile-rich environment to manifest reality.

But maybe you’re afraid to go after our dreams? Deep down inside, you think you’re not good enough or you don’t have what it takes. You’ve gotten too comfortable in your comfort zone and it’s way easier to cling onto it than to climb out of it.

You’ve grown accustomed to the same old, same old…the same old boring job that no longer challenges you. The same old unambitious friends who blow aimlessly in the wind. The same old routines, relationships, habits, and behaviors that support your safe and uneventful world.

Maybe you’ve been through a horrible ordeal that has left you lost and a little jaded. You no longer believe in yourself, believe in love, or in life itself.

You convince yourself that dreams only come true for others, for those in that class, that neighborhood, that race, or from that background. Your limiting beliefs limit more than just your dreams.

Maybe it’s simply too much work to acquire the knowledge and skills, learn the ropes, or step up your game through lenses of new thinking, and perspectives.

Your lack of discipline, focus, and stamina is a ready-made excuse that prevents you from getting started and moving in the direction of your dreams. Yet on some level, you know these excuses come at the expense of your personal growth, of reaching your fullest potential and discovering resilience, courage, and some good old grit.

Your dreams are big, boundless, and excite the heck out of you. You’ve always known that you’ve got what it takes. You understand your calling, your purpose, and your path. You were almost blinded by your own vision, catapulted by your own strength, and are never afraid to fail. Your biggest obstacle is that you are afraid to succeed.

Connecting with the dreams we have for our lives can be both scary – and inspiring!

Here are 5 questions to deeply connect to your life dreams and get started!

1. What do you dream for your life? What does your mind keep returning to?
2. What scares and excites you most about the dreams you have for your life? (Make two lists)
3. Describe your life dream using your 5 senses and feelings.
4. What support will you need, and from whom, to achieve your dream?
5. What have you done so far towards your dreams? What’s your next step?

Ponder these questions over the week ahead. Choose one action to do in the next month!

JOURNALING

Journaling was made for dreams. Dreams big and small take shape between the lines of your journal. If you can dream it, you can achieve it one small step at a time. Stretching beyond your reach supports your growth and development. So don’t hold back when it comes to journaling. A Journey of a thousand miles begins with the first step. Write down each step of your journey, what you do or don’t accomplish, how it makes you feel… and remember to celebrate it all.

With grace and gratitude
