What’s Sally Up To?

On October 7, 2009, in Fun Fiction, Motivating Stories, by Bonnie Jean Schaefer

It’s Weirdo Friends Day!

Welcome to another wacky, totally fictional interview of a ‘Weirdo Friend.’ Today’s story features Sally ‘Super Fit’ Safari, personal trainer for dogs. (Video of this interview is coming soon…)

We met Sally a few weeks ago and learned her big dream is to be a ‘personal trainer for dogs.’ Before she started playing The Champion Creator Game, she got easily distracted and struggled to follow through with her dreams.

Let’s check in with her on Day 30 of the game and see if she’s learned anything about how to live her dreams.

SALLY: Playing The Champion Creator Game is AWESOME! It’s also super intense. You get to complete a mission everyday that’s all about you—what you’re thinking, what you’re feeling, what you’re doing; what you want, what you don’t want, what keeps you from getting what you want.

And there’s this enemy fighting against you that you can’t even see. His name’s Normalcy, and he uses obstacles like fear and doubt and distractions to keep you from doing what you dream. But if you learn how to be honest and passionate and focused, you can beat him and live your dreams. It’s so much fun.

Bonnie Jean: Are you living your dream of being a personal trainer for dogs?

SALLY: I was. But now I’m not. That’s not my big dream anymore. After playing The Champion Creator Game for 30 days, I realized that’s not really what I want to do, especially when my dog kept running away from me.

That’s the cool thing about playing the game. I get to change my mind if what I thought I wanted isn’t really what I do want.

Now I think I want to be a scientist. That’s why I’m Sally “Super Smart” Safari now. I’m going to invent a way for humans to survive without sleep because I hate getting tired and going to bed. My goal is to stay awake for 30 straight days using my super secret strategy starting…now.

See you again on Day 60!

We’ll check back in with Sally in several weeks to see if she’s able to stay awake for 30 straight days using her super secret stay-awake experiment. She does have a few weird quirks (which you’ll be able to see in the video of the interview that’s coming soon), but as long as she follows through with the missions, she’ll be able to find a way to do what she dreams.

Weird quirks or not, you can find a way to do what you dream, too. Life is really much more fun when you set goals and take action to make them happen. So…

Join the Dream Doer League. Play The Champion Creator Game. And DO what you DREAM!

To Your Dreams,
Bonnie Jean
