What Does It Really Take to Live Your Dreams?

Your Mission:  Find a Way to DO What You Dream Today

How did you find a way to live your dreams today?

I lived my dream of being a writer by writing 1,551 words of my novel.  I had to dig deep to make that happen, though.

You see, I didn’t feel like writing today.  After getting less than five hours of sleep last night, I worked a long nine-hour day at my Starbucks job.  So by the time I got home, I was tired and just wanted to chill.

And I did chill…after I went for a short run.

By the time 8:00pm rolled around, I hadn’t written a word of my novel.  I enjoy writing and wanted to write, but it would have been a lot easier to just do nothing.

I’m a Dream Doer, though, so doing nothing was not an option.  I tapped into my passion by singing a little song I made up to remind me why I like to write and who I get to be when I take action toward my dreams. 

That got me excited.  And once I focused my excited attention on the task at hand—writing—I was able to make a little progress toward my big dream of writing a complete draft of my second novel.

That’s what big dreams are made of:  little steps. 

When we take just a little step toward our dreams every day, we make great things happen.

What little step did YOU take today?

To your dreams,
Bonnie Jean
