Design Your Best Life
Newsletter-Live Your Dream
April 2009
To accomplish great things, we must not only act, but also dream; not only plan, but
also believe.--Anatole France
Since writing my last article about goal setting I have been on this boost about living
our dreams and setting goals. I invite you to take a look at my latest blog entry http:
//www.lifecoachingdesigns.com/blog which talks about living our dreams and tips to
help us create awareness and start awakening to our life’s purpose.
I also talk about how so many of us equate “what we do” to “who we are.” For many
us, we rely so much on our careers or jobs for satisfaction in our lives. We become
one with our careers and feel that it completes us or it’s what makes us whole.
We tend to bury ourselves so deep into work or other distractions that we forget to
take time out to truly listen to our desires or fears. We are so busy trying to achieve a
certain status level, obtain more degrees, more money, more possessions, or just
more “stuff” thinking this will make us happy or more complete. What’s even worse is
that many of us intentionally do not allow room for feeling complete because it may
mean there is nothing more to strive for. If we are truly happy and feel whole what do
we work towards?
So we continue to go about our journey with all our distractions-T.V., internet, food,
alcohol, drugs, etc.. because it frightens us to strip down to our core selves or allow
ourselves to experience this fear. The fact of the matter is, once we can weed out
these distractions and focus on ourselves and experience these range of emotions
we can then start feeling whole.
Feeling whole allows us to enjoy life more and take more risks because we are no
longer afraid about what others think of us. We may start living that dream after all or
simply just find more joy in what we are currently doing. We no longer feel we have to
obtain all this stuff in order to feel happy because we realize that happiness comes
from within.
