“Dare to dream and go for it.”

Key Take Outs

• Create your ideal life. Imagine that in 5 or 10 years time that you are living your ideal life, what would that look and feel like? Visualise this and really see and feel it. Close your eyes and imagine it, write it down. This will be your tool for living each moment going forward with greater purpose.

The power to really visualise what it is you desire in life will transform your thoughts and create a powerful belief. With this belief you will be able to achieve even your wildest dreams.

• Dare to dream. As kids we all dreamed and we dreamed beyond belief. Some of us still dream but social conditioning has pushed them so far down that now we only dare to dream. Avoid all that you believe and the naysayers out there and go on and dream big. Its healthy to dream and only by dreaming can you create a life that you want. Be as expansive as possible. 

• Remove doubt and fear. Try and understand what is the worse thing that can happen by taking action; this may help you better understand the risk and make space to take action towards what you desire. Others have been there and done it you may not be the first and you are not alone. Ask questions, ask for help, create your visions and empower your beliefs and just go for it. The biggest fear should be to reach the end of your days – not taking that action towards your dreams.

• Use affirmations. Write out your goals and from them create affirmations. If you start speaking and writing these affirmations you can trick your mind into believing it to be true. This is the power of our subconscious mind. Carry these affirmations around you each and everyday – always reviewing them.

• Allow for a plan to come about. Once you have a vision, no where you are going, create powerful affirmations to build belief within your mind and allow the plan to come forth. What can you do next? What action can you take? The how will uncover itself just make the plan and take the steps necessary.

• Less is more. Being busy and having hustle is good but its more about working smarter not harder. We often hear its all about working your butt off to make a success but really its about being effective with your time and what you do with it. The successful create ways to free up their time. Sometimes also when you do what you love it becomes less tangible to measure work and non-work activities. We don’t have to work 20 hours day! The choice is ours.

• Remove resistance. This is a sure way to become more comfortable in every moment. When we put up resistance we block ourselves from progress. This is a deep subject in which you may wish to read more about in The Power of Now: A Guide to Spiritual Enlightenment

What advice would you give to your 20-year-old self?

Dare to dream and go for it. Go for the biggest dreams possible.

Quote

“When you are inspired by some great purpose, some extraordinary project, all your thoughts break their bonds: Your mind transcends limitations, your consciousness expands in every direction, and you find yourself in a new, great and wonderful world. Dormant forces, faculties and talents become alive, and you discover yourself to be a greater person by far than you ever dreamed yourself to be.”

― Patañjali

“To offer no resistance in life is to be in a state of grace, ease and lightness.” Eckhart Tolle

“The happiness that is derived from some secondary source is never very deep.” Eckhart Tolle

What does living life with passion and purpose mean?

The most essential and important thing is to find that thing that you are passion about and to realise it. And along the way do it such a way that you have that inner peace in every moment.
