If you could be or do anything in this life what would you do or be?
As children we have so many dreams about what we will do, be and become when we grow up but somewhere between childhood and adulthood our dreams become squashed, buried deep, hidden away or totally pulled apart and reworked because they do not fit our loved ones or societies view of who we should be.
So my question to you is:-
“What dreams have you buried or given up on that would bring you fulfillment, happiness and joy”?
Do not place any limitations on yourself such as if I only had a million dollars in the bank and did not have to worry about bills, the mortgage, school fees etc I would be or do xxxxxxxx.
Find a way of incorporating your dreams into your life it maybe that you start small for example you may have always wanted to start your own small business; start doing some research, enroll in a small business course, talk to people who work in the industry and have already set up their own small businesses.
By focusing on what you want (big picture) and taking positive small steps to incorporate aspects of the big picture into your life you will eventually see the realisation of your dreams.
Find the peace, contentment, fulfillment, happiness and joy you have been searching for:-
It is YOUR LIFE after all!
You deserve to be HAPPY, CONTENT AND FULFILLED.
So take a risk, follow your dreams and be the best person you can be.
Life is too short for mediocrity!
