Are you pre-occupied with dreams of a better life? Do you go to bed at night wishing things were different?
Whether you want to start your own business, travel the world, live your passion or downsize so that you have more time for you and your family, it all begins with some considered planning that will get you on the road towards fulfilling your ambitions. But first of all it pays to know what holds some people back, and make sure that you don’t fall victim to these excuses yourself.
A lot of people are apprehensive about trying to make their dreams reality because of the sense of risk and insecurity. They find that their current situation, although secure and comfortable, makes them unhappy to the core. Yet, to move on to living a happier, more contented life would require them to step out of their comfort zones for a while to embrace change. But it’s only when you’ve gained the courage to do this that you realize that what you thought of as ‘comfort zones’ weren’t comfortable at all.
Another issue is that of procrastination. It’s so easy to put things off for another day, but more often than not, that ‘other day’ never arrives. One lost moment can never be regained so it’s important to act now! Don’t become an armchair dreamer who is full of regrets for not having tried. Better to try and fail, than fail to try!
Create time to make good things happen. Once the dream is alive, the rewards will be a more enriching way of life.
So, where to start? First, take pen and paper to write down your thoughts, ideas and your plan of action …
Create Your Wish List …
But the thing is, do you really know what you want?
Perhaps you have a vague idea that you’d love to travel … but where to? Perhaps you want to start your own business … but doing what? In setting up your wish list, you need to identify and write down your specific goals. Bring color and form to them by adding flesh and bones to your dreams.
If you want to travel, get the map out and decide where. If you want to set up a rural business, decide exactly what you want to do and where you’d like to do it. Visualize exactly what you want. This way, you are bringing your wishes to life; they become more real and attainable. And, equally important, they’ll make you even hungrier for achieving your goals.
Have you asked yourself why you want to change your life? Maybe it seems quite obvious but it helps to confirm your reasons to paper. You may say that it’s because you hate your present job, or you’re fed-up of rush hour traffic jams or your long hours don’t give you any time for yourself and your family.
At this point, rather than dwelling on the negatives of your circumstances, start focusing on the positive aspects of what your new life will bring, such as a job you love, more time for yourself, a sense of meaning to life, etc. Focus on these benefits and keep reminding yourself why you’re making the changes to your life.
And you will live your dream.
