How Big of a Game Do You Want to Play? Day 4

How big of a game do you want to play? Do you really want to fulfill the dreams God has placed in your heart? These are dreams and goals that will create passion in your life and move you into daily, monthly, and yearly action. Dreams and goals that bring emotion because of the clear sacrifices that we make preceding long-hoped for victories. Yes, dreams and goals create miracles and accomplishment and fulfillment. And equally important, dreams and goals can create balance, priorities, and life-enhancement. 

A Few Questions to help:
I hope you have been dreaming these past few days. Do some soul searching to become very clear on what are the dreams in your heart? What are the most important areas of our life and what dreams do you have for these areas? What are your three most important goals in life, right now? Think about what would you do and how would you spend your time if you learned today that you only had 6 months to live? If time & money were not an issue, what would you do if you knew you could not fail? What do you enjoy doing most? What gives you your greatest feeling of personal satisfaction? 

Once you have your dreams in front of you, it is time to break the big dreams into measurable goals. In the book I share the SMART formula for achieving goals Specific Measurable Attainable Realistic Timely. It starts with writing down your dreams and goals - this forces you to visualize them. It also creates an emotional commitment. 

The loss of my bff, Patty Dresser, has released an array of emotions within me. She and I were always sharing our dreams and goals and ideas with eachother. When we spoke last Wednesday night, we had no idea it would be our last conversation. She was hoping to sell her house and then maybe move to Naples with me, start a business she would love to do every day, enjoy the beach, meet her soulmate, travel, create a legacy for her boys... 

We all tend to let circumstances get in the way of following our hearts desire. We think that someday, oneday, when I have more money, when the kids are older, when I sell the house, when the economy is better... I believe now that if Patty would have known that her time was limited she would have made some different choices. None of us really knows what tomorrow will bring - today is the perfect day to take ACTION towards pursuing your BIG dreams! 

I'm not waiting - Will you join me?

XOXO
