Christopher Robin to Pooh:
"Promise me you'll always
remember: You're braver
than you believe, and stronger than
you think you
are, and smarter than you think."
I remember way back as a younger I
used to dream
BIG dreams. Impossible dreams.
Though I never once thought they
were "impossible"
way back then because, as a kid,
everything seems
possible. Didn't it?
Then as we grew older and had
time to experience
a few set backs and a few
disappointments... somewhere
along the line we stopped dreaming
big and starting
settling for what we thought we
COULD accomplish or
what we felt we DESERVED.
It's tragic, really.
Because if you have ever succeeded
at doing anything
well... then you have everything
you need to succeed
at ANYTHING well... except the
belief that you still
can make wonderful things happen.
So here's my thought. Take a few
minutes out of your
day to dream BIG once again.
Divide your life up into areas
important to you.
* Financial Goals
* Family & Relationships, and
* Spiritual Development
Have a heart-to-heart conversation
with yourself and
discover, once again, where you
would like to be - if
a lack of money, time, skill, AND
belief were not an
issue - where you would like to be
in each of these areas.
How would you LIKE your life to
look? What would a
perfect day consist of? Where would
you find yourself?
Who would you be hanging out
with? Where would you
be hanging out?
Take notes and jot your dreams
down. Play with them
and flesh them out a little bit each
day.
Give yourself PERMISSION to dream
big and design - if
only on paper and in your
imagination - your perfect life.
Because it is only AFTER you know
where you are going
that you'll be able to set in motion
the things that can
take you there. So begin by
dreaming and always remember:
"You're braver than you believe,
and stronger than
you think you are, and smarter than
you think."
Bless and be blessed,
