Afraid to dream?

In preparing for the upcoming The Invitation: How to Have the Life You Really Want workshop, I sent out a survey to the attendees. It has been interesting to note that many people don´t have a dream to bring to the workshop. The workshop is about putting “feet to the dreams” but you need a dream to put into action!

Some people commented that they were afraid to dream for fear of being disappointed or discouraged if they couldn´t create their dream. So rather than try and fail, they felt it was easier to not try and thereby not fail.

However, I always remember Oprah´s words that perhaps the greatest risk of all is not to risk at all. If we´re not willing to risk going for the dream, then that is a really big risk.

Sometimes we just need to chunk down the dream into bite-size pieces so it is more manageable and doable. Maybe we need to accomplish one little piece of the dream to give us the confidence that we can do more.

I am absolutely convinced that everyone has a purpose, an Assignment or Assignments that they came to Earth this time around to accomplish. If you hold back and don´t move towards that purpose and dream, you feel a yearning, a sadness, longing, anger, a pissed off feeling that often gets diagnosed as depression, PMS or menopause. But it is really your soul wanting to do what it came for and create that amazing life.

Let go of the fear of taking the risk, stepping into the dream and go for the gold. Settling for anything less than full out action just isn´t going to give you what you came for. Promise!
