Your Dream Doer Mission: Find a Way to DO What You Dream Today
When I got home from my job at Starbucks this afternoon, I had a horrible, horrible headache. All I wanted to do what curl up and take a nap and make the headache go away.
But I really want to be able to run an 8:00 mile on Saturday, so I needed to practice running some sprints today. That’s why I got into my running gear, laced up my sneakers and made myself run.
I did what I didn’t want to do because I knew it would help me reach my running goal for this week. When you do what you don’t want to do because you know it’s the right thing for you to do, that, my friend, is called ‘Champion Time.’
Champion Time is the time you spend out of your comfort zone pushing yourself to be a little bit better and a little bit stronger than you believed you could be.
Champion Time is the time you spend being passionate, being disciplined, being focused, being courageous and being consistent.
Champion Time is the time you spend finding a way to live your dreams.
For instance, my headache did not go away after my run. Still, I knew I wanted to write at least five pages of my novel today to help me get closer to my weekly goal of writing 25 pages of my novel.
So even though I once again didn’t feel like doing what I knew I should do—writing—I sat down at my computer and wrote anyway.
That’s when the strangest thing happened. When I was in the ‘Champion Zone’ as a writer, I got so absorbed in my story that I forgot about my headache. That’s how I ended up writing nine pages of my novel in 90 minutes. What fun progress!
Did you set aside some Champion Time for you today? How did you find a way to live your dreams?
To your dreams,
Bonnie Jean
