Fulfilling your Dreams
We are built to dream, to reach for more and better, and be the best we can be. We are meant to fulfill our dreams.
We hold our dreams close to our hearts. When we lose a dream we feel traumatized, like our hearts have been broken. The loss impacts us deeply. Somehow we become less daring and take fewer risks. Our stride gets smaller and our steps shorter. Our belief in ourselves is shaken, if not shattered. The impact on our lives is insidious. We know something is wrong but we can't identify it. We move on but are crippled and don't understand why. All we know is that we are afraid to dream again and begin anew.
Embracing the journey
The goal is to reach for more fulfillment from where you are today. To let go of any hurtful labels you placed on yourself. You are not a failure. You dared to dream. The outcome was different from what you wanted or thought would happen. Take a step back and a closer look at your inward journey, your spiritual journey. Did you grow and develop along the way? Then you are a success. Embrace the ups and downs and the starts and stops. They are there for your learning. Seek out help if needed, see services. A counselor/coach can help you process lost dreams, reach for future dreams, and feel good about the evolving path you are on.
