Make Your Dreams Happen & Rewrite Your Life Story
"What is your dream?"
This is one of the questions I frequently asked during the first free (getting-to-know-each-other) session with my clients. Odd enough, a few people said they have no dream, and most people admitted they have dreams, but they just dream their dreams. Unfortunately, most of us don't even believe our dreams can come true.
This phenomenon is very interesting if you think about your childhood for a moment. When we were children, we were encouraged to dream big, and we are so fearless to believe that our dream will come true one day when we grow up.
What happened to us when we eventually became an adult and had the absolute power to make any decisions in our life for living in our dreams? We gave our powers away! We have been trapped by dogma, which is about what others expect us to be. We started to ask ourselves many "REAL" questions: Which university should I choose? Which major is popular? What should I learn that helps me find a job easily? How much money can I make if I graduate? Should I buy a house/car?...
Undoubtedly, these questions are essential; however, by only achieving these short-term goals, we probably will not eventually become the person we want to be unless we are lucky enough. Life is a marathon, meaning we need to set our destinations before we start; or redirect ourselves if we get lost somewhere in the marathon journey; but running without a destination and a plan, most of the time, can be very confusing and exhausting for the athlete.
After busily running our life marathon for years, many people realized that they were just circling and had no clue where they were heading. In addition, they are tired, overwhelmed, unhealthy, and even depressed. Guess what they will do for the rest of their lives? Unfortunately, some of them will continue circling in their entire lifetime. They don't even notice something is wrong; for a lucky few people, they realize the problem and start to rewrite their life stories.
Life is both long and short. Do not live a life for others because that is your life! You are the only one who knows yourself and your dreams the best. Need to find a day in your calendar to be an authentic self? The only correct answer is TODAY! Do not wait. Because the crucial truth is: the number one regret of the dying is that I wish I'd had the courage to live a life true to myself, not the life others expected of me. Do you want to be one of them?
I had several clients who spent a few sessions discovering themselves, seeing the problems, and eventually deciding to follow their dreams and rewrite their life stories with colossal courage. Still, very often, they showed the sign of giving up in a very short time. Like New Year's resolution, 80 percent of us will fail to achieve and most of us lose our resolve by mid-February.
But WHY? Simple, because change is hard, and trying/doing something new is never easy and comfortable! Also, most of us are scared by the unknown outcome. In our ancient DNAs, avoiding change is vital and natural since unknown things will kill us. However, nowadays, it is scarce that changes cause us to lose our lives, but to make us stronger and better!
