Clawing for your dream to become real can be a bit exhausting, if it goes on long enough.
But God knows, you definitely have to go after what you want in full force if you’re seriously determined to make it real.
In order for most of us to claim our deepest desires:
to lose fat once and for all,
to cruise to a six-figure income,
to hold the keys to your beach house,
to finally caress the hand of your everlasting mate,
we need to start acting more like a kid instead of a pissed-off, overwhelmed, confused,
and irritated grown-up.
Once you decide you are READY to acquire that dream,
the activity that must consume your “efforts” is playing
MAKE BELIEVE.
Use every pocket of me-time: when you’re in the shower, on the toilet,
driving,
or right before bed
to daydream VIVIDLY!
What’s new in your wardrobe when you’re 10 pounds lighter?
How does it feel to look at your bank statements after you’ve easily paid your credit card bill and sent extra money to your investment accounts?
Describe the kitchen and bathroom in your beach house.
What does your everlasting love say to you on Sunday morning?
Daydream the questions.
The answers become your vision.
Then PRETEND.
Feel that darn dream as if it’s real right now. And feel it again tonight. And feel it again in the car. And again when you take the dog for a walk. And again tomorrow.
Act like it’s real.
Eat the foods someone 10 pounds lighter would eat.
Send money to your nieces every month.
Go to HomeDepot and select the cabinets and tiles you’re gonna use for the kitchen remodel in your beach house.
Wake up feeling that you’re seen and loved.
Actively MAKE BELIEVE your dream is real RIGHT NOW.
And like a crazy adult or a creative child, boldly PRETEND you are living your dream every single day without cease.
Pretty soon, really,
pretty soon,
you will live it
for real.
