Something seems to happen to us when we grow up. We forget to dream. I don’t think it has to happen, but it often does. We are told that our dreams are crazy or they are impossible or we can’t do them for whatever reason, and so we begin to believe that they will never happen. So, we quit dreaming.
Can you think of a childhood dream that you had? Can you remember when that dream died? Or can you remember when that dream became a reality? To those of you who realized your dream, I applaud you! For those of us that let our dreams die, I encourage you to dream again! It’s never too late to pick up that dream again, dust it off, and give it new life!! Our dreams can come true! But, first we must believe that they can.
Don’t pick up someone else’s dream. Pick up your own. Many of us are living the dream that someone else had for our lives. We must follow our own… not someone else’s dream for our life. Many of us let someone else’s dream for us become our own only because we didn’t want to hurt their feelings or because we wanted to avoid conflict. It’s time to pick up your OWN dream again and pursue it with all your might!!
So, how do you make those dreams come true? Write them down in full detail. Make a dream board or vision board and keep it in front of you as much as possible. Visualize yourself actually living your dream. Make it as real in your mind as you possibly can. Put yourself in that dream as much as physically possible. If your dream is a new car, then go test drive that car. If your dream is a new house, find that house or that house plan and really see yourself inside that house. If possible, meet the owners and go inside that house and then remember the feelings associated with being in that house. Make your mind focus on owning that house and how it feels to own that house.
It’s important to see yourself living your dream in your mind. Then your mind will find a way to make that happen. The how is not important right now. Only the dream is important. Don’t get to the end of your life and look back at unfulfilled dreams. Get there and look back at a fulfilled life and many realized dreams!!
To help you visualize your dreams, my friends and I have created an online vision board. You can create your own vision board using pictures and text and then print it out so that you can keep it in front of you!
Keeping your dreams in front of you as much as possible really works to make those dreams a reality!
