Quick Coaching Tip – Never Lose Sight of Your Dreams
We all have dreams of what we want our lives to be. Too many times those dreams get set aside as the demands of daily living take their toll on our time and our energy. Sadly we often believe that it’s too late to follow our dreams and that a dream deferred is a dream lost.
But it doesn’t have to be so. It takes a deep passion, unwavering courage, and the determination to make whatever effort necessary to bring your dreams to fruition.
Courage
- Making changes, even positive ones is scary but we all have within us an inner courage
- Face your F.E.A.R. – False Evidence Appearing Real
- “Do you really want to look back on your life and see how wonderful it could have been had you not been afraid to live it?” Carolne Myss
- It’s you biggest fear you have to break through to get what you want out of life
Determination
- Your dreams aren’t dead just because you have put them on hold
- Make the conscious choice of where to focus your priorities – like preparing a meal, the entrée may be your main focus, but you still tend to the side dishes
- Keep your dreams alive in your heart by surrounding yourself with reminders – photos, vision board, scrapbook, journal
- When doubts arise look back on your reminders for inspiration
Learn All You Can
- Research everything you can about your dream
- Hang out with people doing what you want to do – in person, chat rooms, blogs, etc
- Ask their advice and learn from their experiences
- Volunteer or apprentice to get first hand experience
Put In the Effort
- Be willing to work your way up in your chosen field
- Invest the time and money necessary to reach your dreams – take special training courses
- Budget your money – cut costs elsewhere to save for your dreams
No mater where you find yourself on life’s journey, you need never lose sight of your dreams.
