Do You Have A Dream?

Everyone had a dream at one time or another. Many people put them aside as they get older for fear of being thought silly or unpractical.

If you had enough money, confidence, ability and anything else you might need, what would you do?

Which people, plights, situations move you the most?

If you could help them, what would you do?

If you were made God for a week what would you change?

If you were offered superhuman abilities what would you choose?

These sound like fanciful thoughts, but it is these that can help you get in touch with Who You Are… rather than Who You Should Be.

The dream matters less than finding out what you stand for. This will help you find a direction to move in towards finding a purpose. With every minute spent dreaming you fill your mind with the kinds of hormones and chemicals that create thoughts of joy, motivation and optimism.

The longer you do this for, the more you train your brain to think in a more positive way. The more positive that you feel, the more possibilities you will see.

Sooner or later you’ll hit upon a cause or a path that excites you every time you think about it. Initially you may say to yourself that it’s impossible or unrealistic. Never mind. Keep dreaming, as it makes you feel good.

After a while you’ll get clearer about exactly what it is you want to do. Then the first step will come to you. It will seem doable. Maybe you’ll act, but get overwhelmed by the size of the whole project. That’s ok. It’s a sign that you need to move back into the dreaming stage.

It is from your dreams that you get hope. And hope is the fuel that motivates and sustains you through adversity. It is hope that gives you purpose, excitement, joy and motivation. Dreaming is a way to change your brain chemistry to give you the confidence and ability to move your ideas into reality.
