We all have dreams – visions of what we wish our lives could be. Big ambitions, lofty goals, desires for adventure or accomplishment. But sadly, for most of us, that's where it ends – in the realm of dreams. The number of us taking concrete steps to make those dreams a reality is much smaller.

The bridge between dreaming and doing is surprisingly short, yet so few can cross it. The only thing required is mustering the courage to say "yes" to your deepest desires and pushing past the fears and doubts that inevitably arise at the mere prospect of change.

Those fears are insidious - they disguise themselves as logic, reason, care, and concern. The voice of doubt whispers that we must be "responsible" and leave the dreaming to children and fanciful fools. What utter folly! Living a conventional life devoid of pursuing your passion is not a virtue.

Unearth your highest vision for yourself. Identify the dream that feels too outrageous even to voice out loud. The one that would embarrass you to admit to wanting. That half-buried, shunned aspiration - that is your North Star. Once you name it, you can begin to take steps towards it.

Take one small action today in service of that dream, no matter how incremental. Enroll in a course, research options, declutter your schedule - anything to edge you closer. Notice the resistance that arises - your heart rate may quicken, your palms may sweat, and your mind will concoct endless delaying tactics and justifications for postponing. Pause and ask yourself: what is at the root of this fear? Is it truly serving you or the world to live small and play it safe?

Success or sabotage? If the prospect of wildly succeeding at your dreams frightens you, you will always unconsciously undermine your efforts to make it a reality.

Is this going to be an incredible day? This day can be the first of an entirely reinvented life if you dare to honor the calling of your soul. The bridge between dreaming and living your dreams is holy ground. Say yes, and take the first step today. Your grandest visions are awaiting you on the other side.
