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
