Dream a little Dream
Posted on 30. Nov, 2008 by Deb in Just.....Me, Just....Focusing
As the end of the year approaches, I have been giving a lot of thought to goals for the next year. When it boils down to it, examining what you would typically categorize as “wants and dreams” and seeing how you can make them goals which are both realistic and yet far-reaching enough to make it dream worthy. I have plenty of those wants and dreams….it’s the translation part that has me thinking so much.
I am not a big “resolutions” person and last year made a shift to choosing a focus rather than resolutions, which was has been very successful for me this year.
Seriously, I may whine a little (or a lot) about things, but I am satisfied with most of the pieces of this thing I call my life. I just think there there is always room for a little more. And I’m not talking material things, it’s those esoteric desires of wanderlust and journeys and curiosities and deep breathing and service…. stuff. It’s a combination of living with a goal for the future, but also remembering to live in the moment.
With the dreaming comes, of course, some fear. I think fear is often what keeps people living in both the past and the future and forgetting to live in the now. What we have lived is certainly what makes us who we are, both the good and the bad. Looking to the future is how we improve upon things. But if we forget to live in the present, we will miss out on the journey. Part of the thinking I’ve been doing, in all honesty, is about folding in all of it….
Now to put all that thinking into something concrete to work from…. What about you?
Love and kisses to ya. Am heading out to the gym.
