Living Your Dream Every Day

Have you set “limits” on what you wish to achieve this year? How about the next five years? If you have, you may find that you have become what I call an SLS, a sporadic limit setting. The time to get rid of this destructive habit is now!

The way you let go of this unproductive type of “planning” is to allow yourself to dream, to envision what you want even before you get there! I have seen incredible things occur when people dream.

To take the idea a step further, when you dream BIG enough, the odds of getting to it do not matter. In other words, the passion and power of your need for that dream, whether it is social, emotional or financial, will propel you past self-imposed limits and will allow you to creatively deal with obstacles that you will inevitably encounter along the way.

Many people give up on their dreams because fear and doubt set in and they permanently root themselves in the mindset of the potential dreamer. Used properly, however fear can be a driving force and many times is necessary to achieve the big dream. Fear is a dream killer only if you allow it to debilitate your energy level and focus.

Fear can be a positive change driver if you move ahead step by step with fear. Fear only tells you that you are not sure of what lies ahead. If you move ahead with small actions or initiatives, the fear seems to find its own exit or dissipate.

Action conquers fear.

Fear can move you out of your comfort zone and allow you to discover the greatness within you, something that cannot occur while you are in your comfort zone or as some refer to it as the “dead zone.”

When you renew your commitment to identify what you need to make your life the masterpiece it deserves to be, to take the rust off your dreams, you begin to move out of the dead zone. You also lose what I call the “losers limp.”

There is no cure for a loser's limp except dreaming the big dream and preserving every day in your actions to make your dream happen. When you do, you will cast aside your limp and walk with greatness and satisfaction.

How do you know if your dream is big enough? Ask yourself the question: “What would I attempt to do or what challenges would I take on if I absolutely knew and was guaranteed that I could not fail?” That's your dream.
