Are you working toward your dreams or are you just dreaming? Do you have a desire to do something, go somewhere, or obtain something? Are you spending energy thinking about what your life would be like if you achieved what you desire? If so, what exactly are you doing to reach your goals?
Oh.... you are not actually doing anything or only doing a little bit to reach these goals. Why? Is it because you don't have the time, money, talent, support, connections.... to actually journey on this path in your life?
Well, those are just excuses. Those are excuses because living your life doing what you desire and dream is scary. It is scary because we judge ourselves and know we are always judged by others. You are afraid because no one wants to feel judged. We can look at the world around us and see others doing things better than we can and make negative self-judgments. It takes courage to go for our goals.
The thing is - you will never really know if you can live your dreams and desires until you actually live them. I don't mean try for a day or a week but live your life daily with intent to do at least two thing each day focused on making your dreams and desires happen. Remember, these are actions and not just sitting around dreaming!
So today, do the following:
On the top of a piece of paper write down your desire or dream. Below, make a list of all the things you can do/or need in order to achieve this goal. Write everything out that you can think of even if you believe they are impossible. Next, star all the things you can do in the next year toward your goal (you should have a lot of stars). After, circle the ones that you can complete in a month. Finally, highlight the ones you can do this week then every day do something toward this goal.
Don't give up and don't make an excuse because I want you to remember the an excuse is just a way to procrastinate and avoid obtaining your goals. Know that you have value and worth. You matter and you deserve to live a life of your dreams and desires. You can reach your goals if you believe in yourself and take risks. Yes you will be vulnerable but that's a good thing!
