I’m struck that people get stuck making do in life. Many, including little Miss Pixie over here, have big dreams we want to come true. But some may have tired of trying. They’ve hung up their gung-ho hats, accepted the status quo and resumed being “realistic” about their lives. If that’s true for you, please STOP. Reality Bites remember? Here’s a few tips for staying in the “Take your passion and make it happen” game.
- Spend time preening that dream you have for yourself first – kick-ass career, sexy soul mate, pimped out pad, etc.
- Hold a clear, crisp, far-out, fantasyland vision of this in your mind’s eye. Feels pretty good, doesn’t it?
- Write that shit down.
- Take the necessary steps to go after what you want. That resume won’t write itself!
- Look over your list & visit the Vision Quest often to keep yourself on the “true you” track.
- Ignore the naysayers because they’re out there & they’re more than happy to tell you to face the facts. I say “F*!#%&! facts.” Say no to naysayers in general. Why share your dreams with someone you know’s not gonna get it?
- If it smacks of settling, it is. Here’s the test: When a friend asks, “How’s your new boyfriend?” & you start your response with, “Well, he’s good but…” He’s not. Next?
- While moving on, remind yourself that you are on a mission to magnificent. Nobody’s going do it for you. & no one but you’s gonna get your butt back on the high-hopes horse. Giddy-up!
- Repeat step 5 often, daily if you have to, as there will be times when it feels like you’re spinning your wheels. Just don’t get stuck in that muck!
- Keep working the small steps that move you in the direction of your dreams. If you’re headed the right way, your passion’ll be burning from all that yearning!
- Remember the bamboo.
Wax on, wax off & keep reaching for those stars!
