What Distracts You?

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 #4: BE FOCUSED: Clarify Your Focus.

If your focus is fuzzy, so are your dreams. In other words, if you don’t have a clear idea of who you want to be and what you want to accomplish, how are you ever going to know when you’re being yourself and living your dreams? You’re not!

Plus when you’re clear about your goals, it’s easier to ignore distractions, concentrate on what you need to do to and make your dreams happen.

Distractions are everywhere, so this is not exactly an easy rule to follow. For instance, right now I’m having a hard time concentrating on writing this post. Why? Because my sister is watching TV downstairs. Although I’m upstairs in my office, my door’s open, and I can hear the music from the show, the conversations between the characters and the occasional commercials.

So I have a choice to make. I can continue to let the TV distract me and not give you my complete attention. Or I can get up…close the door…and block out most of the noise.

Ahhh. Door’s closed. That’s better. Now I can think again!

That’s what focus is all about: controlling your thoughts so you are only thinking about the one thing you’re working on at that moment.

The more focused you are, the faster you can get things done.

What kinds of things distract you from hitting your goals? What action can you take to get rid of those actions? Leave me a comment and let me know!

A Passion for Dreaming

Be Passionate 1 Comment »

Few things excite me more than dreaming.

Now I’m not talking about the dreams I dream when I sleep. That’s not what excites me. What I am talking about are the dreams I get to control with my imagination when I’m awake.

I love imagining who I want to be, what I want to do, places I want to visit, adventures I want to experience. I express my passion for these things by setting specific goals I want to achieve, then doing what it takes to hit those goals.

For example, one of my adventure goals was to ride a bike in Germany. So when I had a chance to visit Germany this past summer, I made it my mission to find a bike to ride while there.

It turns out that the hotel where we stayed in Berlin had bikes they let their guests ride for free. So one evening, my friends and I borrowed the bikes and had a fun ride on a trail alongside a lake.

Now I also love imagining stories about people who aren’t real and have nothing to do with me. The way I express my passion for making up characters and telling stories about these characters is through writing fiction.

I’ve already published one book, The Dream Doers and the Summer of Secrets. Now I’m working on the sequel. But I’m finding a new way to express my passion for telling the story of my characters by writing a movie script. Learning the format is challenging, but it’s also lots of fun!

All right…your turn. What do you have a passion for? And how do you live like a Dream Doer and EXPRESS your passion?

Please share your passion with me in the comment section!

A Passion for Pain?

Be Passionate 1 Comment »

I just started a super intense fitness program on Monday. I’m only three days into it, and I am hurting from head to toe.

Which makes me happy. Because I’ve got a passion for pain.

Well, I don’t really enjoy being in pain, but I know this soreness is a result of me challenging myself to reach a new level of fitness. The more fit I am, the more prepared I’ll be to compete in some upcoming road races I have planned.

That’s what I’m really passionate about: being fit and being competitive. The way I express that passion is through my challenging workouts and racing against the clock in 5k’s, 10k’s, half-marathons, etc. The race I’m training for now is a 15k trail run in June.

Fitness and athletic competition is only one area of my life, however. So tomorrow I’ll share with you another passion I have as well as how I’m expressing that passion right now.

In the meantime, think about your own level of fitness. Whether you’re an athlete like me or not, exercise should be an important part of your lifestyle. So find a form of exercise that gets you excited and allows you to express your passion for being fit and healthy.

Because the more fit and healthy you are, the more energy you have to focus on living your dreams.

To your dreams,

What Do You REALLY Want?

Be Passionate No Comments »

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 #3: BE PASSIONATE: Express Your Passion.

Being passionate is all about expressing your intense emotional drive and excitement toward any strong desire.

But how can you express that intense emotional drive if you don’t know what you want or desire? You can’t! That’s why the first step in expressing your passion is to figure out what makes you excited.

In other words, you have to figure out what you REALLY want.

For instance, I’ve got a list of 111 things that I want. These things include what I want to give to my family or to charities, businesses I want to own, activities I’d like to do, places I’d like to visit, people I want to meet and just fun stuff I would like to have.

When I look at my list and think about making these dreams of mine come true, I get excited. The way to express that excitement and live my passion is to chase every single one of those dreams.

I can’t chase them all at once, though, so I’ve got to ask myself: what dream do I really want more than anything right now? What dream should I do something about that would allow me to express my passion in the biggest way possible right now?

I don’t have an answer to those questions. Yet. I’ll give it some thought tonight, then share my biggest RIGHT NOW passion with you tomorrow.

In the meantime, what about you? What dream do you want to do something about RIGHT NOW? What do you REALLY want?
