Dreams are what you make them.

Dreams without actions, stay as dreams instead of reality.

There’s not one way or the right way to live your life even though most have been taught to do life this way or that.

I know growing up I thought things needed to be my Dad’s way or the Church’s way. I didn’t feel I had a say in anything. Felt powerless.

As David Hawkins writes, “Power comes from integrity and accepting responsibility for the consequences of one’s own actions, choices, and decisions.”

One of the nice parts about being in my 70s is to look back and see how many dreams have come true for me.

I see where some came more easily than others.

I see where some were shattered.

I see where some were way better than I imagined.

 

I see how important it is to create the life you desire again and again because each stage of life offers you many opportunities. Many you couldn’t have seen or thought about because of where you were with your life.

As Cleo Wade says, “We are the builders who are building a world that has never been built before.”

 

I ask you, are you creating the world you want? Personally and collectively?

You have the power.

Fall is nearly upon us. How could you use this time of year to create or recreate some dreams you have?
Ask yourself some questions to gain clarity into what really matters to you.

What makes your heart and soul sing?

What have you always wanted to do but keep putting off?

What would make you feel fulfilled and content?

 

We were in Idaho this last week hiking and fishing. At the top of a pretty steep hike, there was a bench with some people’s names on it. It made me think about what could be some neat legacy like that I could set into motion. We were really glad to have that bench to rest on.

Where are you on the scale of taking responsibility to create the life you desire? Do you believe you are responsible for creating it or that life just happens?

Find the areas of your life more out of whack or uncomfortable for you. Decide how you would want those to look life. The more you take charge of your life, the more fulfilled and happy you will be. If you feel like a victim and life happens to you, you will carry a lot of resentment and frustration of how life can be.

Your attitude and choices matter.

Spend some time dreaming about how you want this next year to be for you. Savor in how things will feel for you. Allow yourself to really play and be in the dream situation. Take time daydreaming.

When you live your dream life, life is more joyful and fun. You feel powerful and successful.

Are you ready to step up and take responsibility for creating your dream life?

It’s a choice or two away.
