The Ability to Dream a Bigger Dream
We were never taught in school how to dream big. We were told to dream of big things for our future, but were never given any instructions. Society said that if we studied hard, got good grades, and did what we were told, then our dreams would come true. And some of them did. However, I believe that we are destined for more. More greatness, more happiness, more fulfillment, and more joy. And the way to get there is to dream bigger.
When I ask people if they have a vision statement for their life, or even for the next few months, they say they do not. They have it in their head maybe, but they have not taken the time to actually sit and write it down. I am guilty of doing that many times. Once I started making it a practice, I found that things shifted, and my life became richer. In the process I learned many things about myself. One, that I am the creator of my reality, and that my intention is aligned with the Universe. It may not happen “how” I envision it, however, it does show up. I also learned about what I truly desire and that which is only superficial, or not as important.
When people work with me to find out what their passions are, or the depth of the work they want to pursue, they many times cannot see out far to begin with. It is a process. In order to see that bigger dream, we need to look at our whole life. We get to look at it and honor it for what we have learned. Often times I ask people what they wanted to be as a child to help them get in touch with who they are now. At first they don’t see the connections. A person who wanted to be a dancer may not be a ballerina now, however, they learn how they have danced in life. How they teach others to learn their own dance, to create with others. Someone who loved to read mysteries may now be able to help others uncover the mystery of who they are. A child who wanted to be a firefighter might now have the tools to help people resolve conflict and bring it to a peaceful resolution.
We have had these dreams within us all our life and it is time to bring them out in the way it is meant for us. And first it starts with dreaming a bigger dream.
What do you want for your life, your family, your business, the planet? You deserve to start reaching for that dream…..to create your own purpose filled reality. We are meant to live in joy. Are you ready?
