What do your wildest dreams consist of? I’m not talking about the dream where your dog has eight legs and you can fly by snapping your fingers. I’m referring to those dreams and visions for your life. If those dreams came true, how would your life be different?
I have found that many people don’t get as far as dreaming something BIG for their lives. They talk themselves out of their vision before even giving it a minute to settle in their mind. They give up the hope of it, before even considering the possibility.
And I totally get it, some dreams seem almost impossible to achieve…but that’s kind of the point. If they were “easy” we’d just wake up one day and boom, make it happen. But the amount of dedication and commitment they take, discourages many of us from ever pursuing them in the first place.
Have you ever wondered how you choose what you will do in life? Did you base that decision on something that has already been done before? And does that make it easier for you to believe you can do it too? Or do you tend to repeat what you’ve already done in your past? Regardless of which one resonates with you, you can choose something different, starting now!
This is not something most of us were taught growing up. So we didn’t truly learn the skill of dreaming big for ourselves. We just looked around at what our loved ones were doing and figured the same would be true for us.
Dreaming big requires us to believe in ourselves. It means letting yourself imagine what can be possible for you in this lifetime. And after we dream it up, not immediately shut it down with doubt and fear. This is one of the greatest skills we can learn from our children. Their imaginations are untampered.
If you have a yearning to do more with your life, keep in mind, it is there for a good reason.
