Childhood Dreams

My Dad was a dreamer.  I say was because I no longer have the gift of his influence in my world.  It’s been 6 years since he moved onto whatever comes next after this human experience.   Dad gave me permission to dream big, to believe that anything is possible if I just put my mind to it. So what went so terribly wrong?  Outside influences - my peer environment of “who do you think you are”, and “that will never happen”, and “do you think you’re better than me”.  I had big dreams that seem to have faded with the years.  Can you relate? 

Something amazing came into my life after I woke up and realized that I just wasn’t going to live that way anymore.  Do you know about the Law of Attraction?  That’s okay because I didn’t either at one time.  I now know that it had been working in my life in a negative way, because now I’m experiencing it as a miracle.   Once I made that declaration to live my life my way and to be happy and fulfilled, the people and resources I needed appeared in my life as if they were crazy coincidences.  One of those people was my life coach.

Personal coaching sounded pretty foreign to me at one time.  “What exactly is it and what could it possibly do for me?” was my first skeptical thought.  My coach helped me focus on what I wanted, set achievable goals, get organized and prioritize my endless “to do list” (don’t we all have those?!) and rediscover what I’m passionate about.  Living a happy life is so important to me now that helping other people find that for themselves is what drives me these days.  It feels so good to be living my dream - it’s not the one from my childhood but it’s evolved and even better!  What’s your dream?  Is it the same from childhood or has it grown into something different?
