It’s Find a Way to Do What You Dream Day!
Finding a way to do what you dream starts with you being a person of great character. Being a person of great character involves being trustworthy, being passionate and being focused.
To be trustworthy, passionate and focused, you must develop 12 core ‘champion’ traits. Last week, we talked about setting your passion on fire and being enthusiastic.
Today, we’re going to talk about another characteristic that comes from the heart: your CREATIVITY.
Why should you unleash your creativity?
When you’re creative, you can find a way to solve any problem and overcome any obstacle.
What is creativity?
Creativity is reaching beyond what is obvious into your imagination so you can see how to do what you dream. To be creative, all you have to do is look beyond normal facts to see things that aren’t ‘normal,’ things you can’t necessarily prove.
To see these not-so-usual things, you have to trust your gut and believe there is a way around or through or over any obstacle that’s standing in the way of you and your dreams.
The best way to help you be creative is to tap into your passion and your enthusiasm. When you’re able to express what you want, you free your mind to be imaginative and creative.
How can you unleash your creativity?
To help you unleash your creativity, follow these steps:
- Write down one dream you feel the most passionate about.
- Write down at least three reasons you might NOT be able to live this dream.
- Pick the biggest reason or obstacle you wrote down.
- Okay…it’s time to be creative! Write down five of the most bizarre, crazy things you can imagine yourself doing to overcome the obstacle you chose in step number three.
- Now that your creativity is unleashed, keep going. Choose one of the things you wrote in step four and draw a picture of it so you can actually SEE yourself being creative.
What can you do NOW to unleash your creativity?
If you’re not sure how to be creative to find a way to do what you dream, start by being creative with something simple.
For instance, try turning a light switch on without touching the switch with any part of your body.
Or for more of a challenge, make your parents a card that tells them how much you love them without using the letters ‘e,’ ‘v’ or ‘u.’
The more you practice being creative with simple things, the easier it will become to be creative with bigger things, like finding ways to live your dreams.
And once you can use your creativity to imagine a way to do what you dream, you’ll need to move forward with courage. That’s why next week’s episode is about the final part of Dream Doer Rule #3: advance with COURAGE.
Until next time, remember that you always find a way to do what you dream when you stick to your strengths.

You have a gift. A talent. A strength. When you discover what that talent is and actually DO something with it, it becomes a strength. And when you set goals that let you use your talents and strengths, you’ll always find a way to achieve your goals.
How do I know you have a gift that makes you talented in a special way? Because you got your gift from God, just like I did.
God has blessed every single person in the entire world with some sort of special gift. Since you’re a person living in this world, YOU have a special gift. It says so right here in I Peter 4:10:
“As each one has received a gift, minister it to one another, as good stewards of the manifold grace of God.”
The cool part is that your gifts/talents ignite your passion AND make a positive difference in other people’s lives…when you use them.
So it’s your job to find out what your talents are, then use them to do what you dream. When you’re living your dreams, you’re happy and you make the people around you happy, too!
To your dreams,
Bonnie Jean
