Dream

"Go confidently in the direction of your dreams! Live the life you've imagined." ~ Henry David Thoreau

Funny thing, dreams.....they often get misplaced or abandoned due to the daily routine of our busy lives. Seems like there is always a chore to do, an errand to run, or a crisis to "handle" instead. We seem to have forgotten what it was we dreamed of doing when we were younger. So many of us take the first job that is offered to us or the job that makes the most money just to be able to "live". Thus, our career path is set and we end up doing the thing we HATE the most! If you are unhappy, unfulfilled, even miserable ~ it's time you dusted off your DREAMS!!!!!

"In your heart, keep one still, secret spot where dreams may go and sheltered so may thrive and grow." ~ Louise Driscoll

You may have forgotten your dreams. Take time to rediscover what it means to "Follow Your Bliss".

*   Take an inventory of your favorite activities ~ what are you doing when you feel happpiest, fulfilled, excited & energized?

*   Take an inventory of your skills. Match favorite activites/skills to discover your "dream job."

*   Make a "DREAM BOOK" ~ Journal (write down) your dreams and embellish with artistic illustrations or magazine clippings. READ your DREAM BOOK for inspiration & encouragement!

*   Research what it would take to make your dream come true.

*   Believe in yourself!!! 

"Look for the dream that keeps coming back. It is your destiny. ~ Author Unknown

Those are some very wise words! I just may start a new journal just for this train of thought-thanks for sharing it.

What a wonderful exercise and one of my favorite quotes! I love this!

I love the idea of a DREAM book. I have one that I call my BLISS book but I think it is the same concept. Such a great soul-nurturer. Mmmmm...

Do you mind if I save this post of yours to add to an upcoming "Linkie Love" post on my own blog?

Love your blog, by the way! So much love and inspiration here!

xo,

Karen Beth :)
