“Are You Living Your Dream? Or Just Living Your Life?”
These are the words found the back cover of “The Dream Giver” by Bruce Wilkinson, a book I am in the midst of reading. The power behind those questions resonates in many of the people I encounter and work with everyday.

This inspirational story is about a boy named Ordinary who leaves the Land of Familiar to pursue his Big Dream. The message is powerful and compelling. A great read. We all have big dreams. What is yours? Are you living it right now? What has stopped you from pursuing your big dream?

You may have several reasons that you have not pursued your big dream. Take a moment to think about who you have in your life who would want you to have that dream? There are many people around you that want you to succeed and they will help support you in any way that they can. Let other people know what your big dream is. Remember your dream belongs to you and no one can take it away from you and only you were meant to fulfill it. Go after your BIG DREAM! It was made for you…because you were meant to do great things!

Share your dreams.

A gratitude journal is just one simple way to collect and note things in your life that you are grateful for. Write down 5 things each night before going to bed that you are grateful for. They can be as simple as the giggle of a child, a gentleman holding the door open for you, or a listening ear of a girlfriend. At the end of the day, they can result in big things. They help you appreciate the moment and look forward to the abundance of the future.

Affirmations of the Day:

I am grateful for the smiles that bring sunshine into my life.

I am enjoying the abundance the world is giving me.

Do you spring out of bed in the morning to start your day or do you drag your feet to the kitchen for a cup of coffee? Living a life with purpose and passion makes you feel light on your feet, almost off the ground. You are enthusiastic about life’s opportunities and yes, even the challenges. Anything worth having is worth all the challenges. You see, the challenges appear to test you. How badly do you want what you are after? When you love what you do every thing seems to come easier. Coffee is not required to jumpstart your day.

When trying to discover your purpose, look first to your strengths. What do people compliment you on? What are you good at? Do you inspire, teach, empower, or design? Your strengths are part of your purpose and you are here to give to others. Share your strengths. Inject passion into all that you do. Think about what brings you your greatest joy. Are you doing it everyday?

What are the ways that you bring passion to your purpose in life?

Each of us have moments in our lives where time stood still and we celebrated and cherished the moment. It was our moment. The moments we define as the milestones that lead us to our success. It is in these moments that we truly discover what we are capable of. You are so much more than what you tell yourself. If you only knew what you were capable of, would you work as hard to achieve it?
