GOT BIG, BOLD, BEAUTIFUL DREAMS?: READ THIS.

This post is for anyone who has a dream. A big, bold, beautiful dream.

Perhaps you have a vision of something more. You can feel the potential of something bigger, brighter, more fulfilling. You know deep down that there is more that you can be, do or have and you are determined to find out what that is.

You see the possibility of something beyond where you currently are.

There is nothing more magical than being a dreamer. Dreams pull us forward. They motivate us. They call us to action. They inspire us, set our heart on fire and ignite our inner spark. They give us butterflies. They are the fuel of life.

Many of us are afraid to dream big, out of fear we may fail. We are scared that we will not reach them and have to be faced with feelings of disappointment. But I ask you, would you prefer temporary disappointment or a lifetime of regret?

One of the things I love the most about being a life coach is that I get the privilege of discovering the inner most precious dreams and desires of my clients. I find it so beautiful to hear people talk about their dreams. You see their face light up. Their body moves with excitement. They are passionate, inspired and switched on. I believe that it is when we are connected to our dreams, and we are following them with a big, brave heart that we are at our most radiant. It is what makes us feel alive.

On the flipside, the thing that tears me apart the most about my coaching sessions is when I hear all the reasons my clients have for why they cannot live out their dreams. How can we dream such beautiful dreams and then tell ourselves that we cannot have them? I can see the pain and disappointment in their eyes as they succumb to their negative beliefs and self doubt. It saddens me that we do this to ourselves.

You have to believe in your dream, and your ability to make it happen.

  

Doubt is the biggest saboteur of all dreams. If you doubt yourself, you will never be able to show up and do what is required to create your dreams. You will procrastinate, create excuses and avoid stepping out of your comfort zone as you do not believe you have what it takes.

If your dream is big, it is going to stretch you. It is going to cause you to have to step out of your comfort zone. Yes, this might be scary. But what if you looked at this fear in a new way? What if your fear excited you, as it was a sign that you were on the verge of powerful and transformative growth? That you were about to define yourself as a new person. That you were teetering on the edge of becoming a bigger, brighter, shiner, more amazing version of yourself.

What if you could see your fear as a sign that you were moving in the right direction? What it if you could find a way to revel in it rather than rejecting it?

Start by loving your fears. The feeling of fear is a sign you are on the verge of stepping out of your comfort zone. That you are in the process of becoming more.

You can transform your fear by loving it. Thanking it. Appreciating it. See it as a sign that you are growing. 

Taking steps towards your biggest dream should give you heart-flutters and tummy butterflies. 

And if it doesn't? 

Dream bigger. 

The journey towards the achievement of your dreams takes perseverance. It takes patience, mixed with a fierce determination. It takes an acceptance of what is, combined with an strong belief what you want is on it's way. It takes daily action steps to build momentum. It takes a willingness to do whatever it takes.

I encourage you to enjoy your journey, and not become too fixated with your end result. Of course, you want to have a burning desire for what you want, but do not let it take you away from the beauty of the present moment.

Transitions can be challenging times. Anytime you are wanting to create something new, you are going to have to transition from your current reality, to your new reality. Sometimes it takes no time at all, but other times it seems to take forever.

For those of you who don't know, I am currently in a process of transition. Yes, I am a life coach, a writer and blogger, but I am also working in a day job to support myself while I set up my business. I am managing the delicate balancing act of working full-time, while spending every spare moment I have pouring my energy in to what I love to do.

Transitions require you to balance your energy between two places at once. While it is important to keep your eyes squarely focused on the big vision you hold about where you want to go, it is equally as important to remain grounded in this present moment. If you start to resent your current situation, you become miserable. You must do what you can to love where you are, while you wait for your dreams to materialise.

Achieving your dreams requires faith. Faith is where you believe something to be true, without yet seeing the physical evidence of it. You just know.  

Know your dreams are done, even before you see the proof, and it will only be a matter of time before they become a reality
