What is your heart’s desire? Have you forgotten?
I understand.
We live in a time where our dreams have been reduced to fairy tales completely untethered from the reality of our lives.
And yet dream we must, because there has to be more to life than the white noise on our TV screens.
Now what?
While the audacity of my dream makes me feel uncomfortable, there is real value in remembering why I conjured this dream in the first place.
Here lies the remnants of my sense of purpose.
When I unpack my dream, I notice it involved the thing I most wanted to do without considering anything else.
No thoughts about money, or risk of failure, or even what my friends and family would think.
I realize I still want my dream.
Now that I am really thinking about it, I can’t help but consider whether I can make this happen. Is it really possible?
Yes!
Then reality sets in.
I still have bills to pay, and responsibilities I can’t simply abandon.
And yet my dream is possible.
As I consider the wisdom of my life’s successes, I realize even my best laid plans rarely worked as I intended. On those rare occasions where I achieved my goal, my route was far more opportunistic than I ever anticipated.
I intend to make my dream come true.
And the thing that gives me confidence is choosing to let go of how I will do it.
Letting go of the How is a super power because it frees me to see all the possibilities.
Like a running back weaving through multiple defenders, I will seize every opportunity life offers to make my dream a reality.
