By If there is anything this pandemic has taught us, it’s that nothing is guaranteed, life always comes to an end, and we are so easily replaceable in jobs we work so hard for.
Of course, this has led many to start questioning their values in life and whether pursuing their dreams could be the most important thing to do right now.
My dream was to be able to have the freedom to travel the world whenever I choose and work from wherever I decide to stop for a while.
Traveling, seeing as I live in Australia, has definitely been limited. But I have also been able to explore the beauty of this country seeing as I don’t have the option to jump on a plane and go exploring elsewhere.
So I am still getting to follow my dreams in some shape or form.
I would love to know what is your dream?
Do you desire to give your vision a jumpstart?
Write down your goals and use the following questions to speed up being able to live the life of your dreams.
1. What’s your highest priority in this lifetime?
What is most important for you to experience, explore or embrace in this lifetime? Until you answer this question, your life goals will be off purpose. Unaligned with your inner passion, your intentions will lack the power to attract the people and situations necessary to become a reality.
Get tapped in to your true joy. What activities did you enjoy as a child? What are your hobbies now? When your goals are aligned with your soul, synchronicity kicks in to guide you to your target.
This is why you will often find me dancing and painting.
2. Is this yours or someone else’s dream?
Are your goals your own choice, or what others think you should aim for? Do you want to look back in your old age and wish you had followed your passion? Will you regret having “played it safe?”
I know I would.
Is it selfish to go after your own dream? What joy can you give to others if you haven’t given it to yourself first? Hint: it’s not selfish, and your joy will spread to others if you allow it to.
3. Are you settling for less than?
Are you resigned to accepting less than your full share of love, health and success this lifetime? Have you compromised and sacrificed your dream?
Anything short of living your true passions will never make you happy.
4. What will you feel like when you reach your dream?
Personal passion fuels a vision. Dive into the excitement of the feeling of living your dream.
Remember the saying, “Where your energy flows, so flows your life.”
5. What steps can you take today toward your dream?
Don’t defer your dream. Set up supports and systems around you to instantly help your intentions turn into action. Jump on every opportunity that is in line with your purpose and vision.
Are there smaller projects that lead to your larger dream? If the dream is to run a marathon, train for a local fun-run first. And find a way to measure your progress. Track those little wins by writing in a journal or telling a friend.
6. Are you telling yourself: “I can’t have my dream?”
Most people don’t believe they can live their dream. Either their belief system has them believing they can’t make a living doing what they love, or they feel they don’t deserve their dream.
To avoid the pain of feeling they can’t have their dream, people often keep their dream so buried they can’t remember they ever had a dream.
Everyone has a dream! And everyone is destined to fulfill that purpose.
Why wait?
You deserve to have all that you desire and more.
As I’ve said numerous times – F tall poppy syndrome. We can have it all.
What are you desiring to achieve and what will do you to get there? I would love to hear below.
