Dreambuilder

You maybe asking yourself after yesterday's post; "How do I find my dream?" So many people find themselves in a daily rut, void of hope and abandoning their dreams. Truth be told they are just waiting for life to end, a routine has taken over and inspiration for more is lost. So how do you learn to live again? What does it take to relight that fire?

Well, first you have to stop pouring water on the logs. When was the last time you did something for ...you? Association is the gasoline that'll spark that blaze. Suppose you always wanted a new boat. Go to the boat dealer, and sit in one. Feel the seat wrap around your body, inhale the fresh air. Imagine yourself cruising the waterways. Read articles on new boats, become an expert on the dream. You can do this with a car, a motor coach, a new designer home, an island vacation, the possibilities are limitless.

Maybe your dream is to give back to the community. Find the need that makes your heart cry out and spend time there. As you familiarize yourself with the cause, the vision of where you fit in will surface.

Nothing is sadder than a life without purpose. Home to work, home to work, isn't a purpose, it's a sentence. Your not going to look back on your life when the time is near and wish you'd spent more time at work. While a job is a necessary evil for most of us, it doesn't have to define our life. Spend the time to define what you'd like to be, do, have, or see. Then seek association with that purpose. You can be really bold and put a date on the fruition of that dream. That'll define it as a goal, and remember goals are written down, then broken down into a series of smaller goals to bring you to that end.
