Engage your Dreams.

When you are on your way yet again to a job that you hate, hearing someone suggest that you should simply “follow your bliss” could inspire road rage as a welcome (and viable) option. It is an admirable fantasy, but is it truly realistic? Is doing what you love and earning a living doing it only for a chosen, lucky few or could it be true for you as well? The possibility is certainly worthy of exploration.

The first step is to be clear about your calling. In order to do that, you must step out of the routine world of your current existence, surrender ideas of lack and limitation and simply dream. What IS your dream? Do you know? When is the last time that you allowed yourself to simply dream?

A life without passion isn’t a life; it’s an existence. Even if our passion cannot be our job, it should be paying for it. We owe it to ourselves to know why were are doing what we are doing. What is it that we are trying to create? What are our intentions on a daily basis?

Take some much deserved time today to daydream. Without trying to control or manage it, allow your mind to roam free. What is your soul trying to tell you? What would you do if you were brave? Surrender your desire to know how it would all fit together in your life today; simply take note of it.

Success or sabotage? Sometimes the journey to greater success and satisfaction begins by indulging the fantasy for something bigger and better than you ever previously imagined.

Is this going to be an incredible day? Notice how engaging your dreams can amplify the power, possibility and direction of the day (inspiring you to appreciate them even more).
