Dare to dream

I clearly remember when I purchased this home. I wanted a cute garden to have my morning coffee in, a place to inspire me to write. I wanted to be able to admire the fruits of my labor. Much thought and planning went into it. I had a vision. I had a dream. I actually made it a reality.

Now this morning I sit here starring at the blooming day lilies peeking out from behind my overgrown bushes (and oh god I can’t remember the last time I mowed the lawn.)

I am planning another move. Rationally I know the reasons for this move are all practical and all the reality of my living with chronic illness. Financially it’s even a really good idea. Somehow, I can’t to allow myself to dream about it. Actually I can’t seem to allow myself to dream much at all about anything.

Normally I set goals very well; I always have had a 5 year plan. I know what I want. I know what I need. But here I sit asking myself.. What is the one thing I aspire to hope for? I don’t know. Do you know what you hope for?

Have I allowed my health issues to stand in the way of Dreaming? So much so that I can’t allow myself to run free with my thoughts of what could be. Am I afraid that I can’t have it??

What is it I dream. hmmm

I‘ve been struggling to figure out a way to move beyond this . How can I get myself back to a place where my dreams are made of, give myself the freedom to run free with my thoughts.

I realized I can dare to dream . I can challenge myself .It is the first step towards allowing myself to dream.

As a Coach I know life is made of dreams. Dreams are the motivation to move forward. They keep us going. Plus knowing what you want … is the only way to get there.

If you’re having trouble letting yourself dream , then I dare you to just let yourself try. See what happens.

(OH, I just realized.. My new place is a condo. I don’t have to cut the grass!! thank god! )
