Dream to the Extreme....but

Dream to the Extreme....but

Have you ever heard someone say that your dreams, aspirations and goals were "Pipe Dreams" and you "can't" achieve them?

I know that I have. They have changed my life; not always for the better. That kind of comment attacks you at the very core of your being. It leads you to a place of inactivity and a lack of focus towards your true purpose in life.

The mind is a funny thing. It hears a comment and then provides you with a whole litany of examples where the comment appears to be true.

When I was just a little guy, I said that when I "grow up" I was going to be a fireman. To this day when a challenge comes up, that voice in the head says..."yea, you said you were going to be a fireman and you never did that!"

Fortunately, I have learned how to "pivot" from that thought. The pivot point comes with the additional thoughts of "..wait a minute! Remember when you were driving down a country road, saw a lightning strike, radioed for the Fire Department and then took your shovel and started a fire line?" I was a fireman right then so I had in fact "been there, done that and had the T-shirt!" I was reminded that as a coach I often "..put out the fires.." of doubt and indecision. I'm a Fireman.

One down, several to go.

The older I get the longer the list that my mind provides. So the question becomes, who wins?

The first thought? Or all of the successful things that I have done?

The difference is where the "BUT" in the title of this article comes in. When I listen to that first thought I stop living on purpose. I become unfocused and as a result I do nothing. If there is a "hell" it is this place. BUT, I can live on purpose. I can dream to the extreme and most importantly bring those dreams into expression in my world, and so can you!

Start with the dream, mix in your values and then take the ACTION to bring that dream into your world.

It sounds so simple, yet most of us hesitate. What part of that equaltion is your stumbling block? Surely not the Dream, you have those in abundance. Not the values, you know what value above all things. AHA, it must be the action!

Not sure where to begin?

Neither was I. As I explored who I thought I was and wanted to be, the feeling of "overwhelm" came to mind. That's when I had an "AHA" moment. I didn't have to take on this HUGE project called my life on all by myself!

What was the "edge" that so many of my personal hero's had that I didn't?

When I did my research I found that all of them had PERSONAL COACHES. Someone with whom they could work on BEing the very best that they could be. Not just talking about BEing or dreaming about BEing, but rather bringing into their world the reality of BEing who and what they really wanted to do and BE.

I discovered that I could DO what many of the "great people" in my world were doing. I found a personal coach, it was a turning point in my life and I highly recommend it to you as well. To discover what personal coaching is all about I invite you to visit www.mindfulabundance.com

It is the beginning of Dreaming to the Extreme!
