If you want unshakable confidence, unbreakable dreams and unstoppable success…
If you want to always find a way to DO what you DREAM…
Then you need to follow the five Cool Dream Doer Rules.
And the Cool Dream Doer Rule of the Week is Rule #2: BE TRUSTWORTHY: Live with Integrity.
Why is being trustworthy and living with integrity so important?
When you live with integrity, you can trust yourself to set goals you have the ability to achieve.
When you set goals you trust yourself to accomplish, you gain confidence in who you are and believe that your dreams are possible.
When you believe your dreams are possible, you take action that makes your dreams happen.
In other words, no fears or doubts or worries can ever stop you from finding a way to do what you dreams when you live with integrity.
Over the next few days, we’ll talk more about what it means to live with integrity. In the meantime, leave a comment and share why you think being trustworthy and living with integrity is important.

A big part of learning how to Be Yourself is by discovering what your talents are.
A talent is a skill you’re naturally good at and love to do. The more you practice that skill, the better and better you become.
Your talents are what make you special and unique. These are areas where you can achieve greatness.
So discovering your talents is pretty important. If you don’t know what skills you need to practice, you’ll never have a chance to reach your potential!
One thing you can do to discover your talents is ask yourself three questions about your friends and family.
- What kinds of things do they ask for your help with?
- What kinds of things do you enjoy doing for them?
- What kinds of things do they struggle with that comes easily to you?
Go ahead. Answer those questions honestly right now. By answering those questions, you’ll begin to discover your talents.

Picture this.
You’re sitting on your floor in your bedroom. Your knees are curled up to your chest. Your arms are hugging your shins. Your forehead is resting on top of your knees.
It’s night. Your eyes are closed. The lights are off. Your computer is off. Your phone is on off. Your tv is off.
You’re breathing. Calmly. In. Out. In. Out.
You’re smiling. You’re happy.
You’re imagining what your life is like when you are free to be yourself. To live your dreams. To make your own choices.
What do you see yourself doing?
What do you hear yourself saying?
What do you feel yourself feeling?
Now you open your eyes. You smile.
You’ve just experienced what it’s like to be yourself in your mind.
Now you’re ready to experience what it’s like to be yourself in reality right now.
What do you do to be yourself right now?
What do you say to be yourself right now?
What do you feel when you are yourself right now?
(It’s up to you to finish this story. So answer these questions, then TAKE ACTION based on what you write!)

Here it is, your BE YOURSELF challenge of the day…
Imagine yourself ten years from today. It’s March 3, 2020.
Go ahead. Picture it. How old are you? Where do you live? What do you look like? Do you have a pet dog, a pet fish or a pet pencil?
On this day, you get to do whatever you want to do. You get to choose your actions. You get to control what you say, what you do and where you go.
By the end of the day, you know you’ve done something important and valuable. You know that you’ve made someone else’s life better by doing what you dream.
So what is it that you do? What skills do you see yourself using? Who do you see yourself helping? What difference do you make?
Have fun with this. Trust your instincts, and write down the first things that come to your mind.
Chances are that what you see yourself doing reflect who you are and what you can become great at.
To your dreams,

Yup. That’s right. I stand by my post title. You totally, absolutely, 100% CANNOT do what you dream…unless you follow Dream Doer Rule #1: Be Yourself.
Being yourself means you’re free to choose how you think, how you feel, what you say and what you do instead of relying on other people to create your identity for you.
Being yourself also means that you stick to your strengths when chasing your dreams. Of course you first have to know what your strengths are in order to stick to them.
The kind of strengths I’m talking about here are your God-given talents, skills you are naturally good at and love to do.
Need help identifying your talents?
Then you should prepare yourself to accept the BE YOURSELF Dream Doer Challenge of the day.
Are you prepared?
Excellent.
I now challenge you to answer this question:
- What is the BEST success you’ve had in your life so far?
(Was it getting a good grade? Winning a competition? Helping a friend?)
(What is one thing you’ve done that made you feel great?)
Write your answer down…because recognizing your own success is the first step to finding your unshakable confidence, chasing your unbreakable dreams and living with unstoppable success.
To your dreams,
Bonnie Jean
P.S. Don’t keep your BEST success to yourself! Share it with me by adding a comment!
