A Time to Dream
| “What do I want?” can be one of the easiest, yet hardest questions we can ask ourselves. More and more people are stepping up and asking themselves that very question. If you could picture your dream lifestyle, what would it be like? Does your current reality look anything like those aspirations today?
If you’re like most people, much of your life is committed to supporting other people. Your spouse, children, boss, family members, friends and neighbours, just to name a few. While you undoubtedly care about everyone of these people, it’s possible you frequently feel overtired, overscheduled and overwhelmed. (Sound familiar?) In fact, while you probably appreciate and enjoy the life you’re living, I’m willing to bet you sometimes wonder if ‘this is all there is’. Like many of the people I’ve worked with in my company, it’s like you’re juggling multiple responsibilities and struggling to manage the many tasks required by both your work and home lives. This juggling act makes it easy to allow your dreams to sleep. I want to wake them up and invite them to come out to play. Before we can do that, you must begin to give voice to what the life of your dreams would look like. That’s what we’re going to do this month! To get started, schedule 15 to 20 minutes in your calendar this week. In that time, sit down in a quiet place, where you won’t be interrupted and answer the questions from the beginning of this month’s message. Minimally, pay attention to your life this month. What makes you happy? What frustrates you? What satisfies you? What upsets you? When you consciously observe your day-to-day reality, you create an opportunity to clearly define what’s working - and what’s not. Once you’ve done that, you will be empowered to make positive changes in your life. To your success, Jo |
