Your Dream Doer Mission: Find a Way to DO What You Dream Today
Yesterday I had trouble focusing while writing my novel, so before I started writing today, I took a little time to think about what I’m passionate about and why I even enjoy writing.
Here’s where my thoughts took me: I am passionate about writing fiction. When I write fiction, it’s like I can transport myself to another place and see into the minds of other people. I get to feel what they’re feeling and hear what they’re hearing. It’s just a fun process.
That’s what I forgot about yesterday. The process. I was thinking so much about what I wanted to get done that I forgot I enjoy doing the work it takes to get the results I want!
Although I didn’t start writing until 10:00pm tonight because of a busy day, I was much more focused and had much more fun writing today. I ended up writing five pages in 37 minutes because I was passionate about what I was doing, and that helped me concentrate my complete attention on the task at hand.
So what are you passionate about? And did you find a way to express your passion today?
To your dreams,

Your Dream Doer Mission: Find a Way to DO What You Dream Today
I completed my mission by spending an hour writing my novel tonight. I wrote five pages and 1,482 words in that hour. But I’m not thrilled with my results because I know I could have done better.
Here’s why. I didn’t give 100% of my attention to my writing tonight. I kept thinking about random things that happened earlier today or things I wanted to do tomorrow. I didn’t concentrate all my attention on the task at hand.
In other words, I just went through the motions of writing rather than doing the very best I was capable of doing.
At least I know what I need to work on tomorrow: FOCUS!
Besides, writing is more fun when I’m focused. When I’m focused, I feel energized and excited as I write. I also feel like I’m a part of the story I’m writing. I missed that feeling today.
What about you? Did you find a way to do something about your dreams today? Were you focused? Did you give 100% of your attention to your goal, or did you let your mind wander in a million different directions like I did?
How can you be better tomorrow?
To your dreams,
Bonnie Jean
