Dreams

We've all got dreams. We've all got visions. But what do we do with them? Do we pursue those dreams? Do we pursue those visions? 

If I'm honest, I feel like I have hit a brick wall in terms of what I want to achieve. Not because I have obstacles in my way. Well not external ones anyway. The only thing that is stopping me is...me. It's not that I haven't got dreams and visions. Creating a vision board is my favourite part of the journey! But it is completing the task which is the challenge. Arguably, it is starting the task - but how hard is it to sign up to the gym when you plan to get fit? How hard is it to buy healthy food when you plan to change your diet? How hard is it to buy paint when you plan to redecorate?

 It isn't necessarily starting the task which is the challenge, but keeping momentum. Consistency is key. Many of us, including me, do not see our dreams and visions take form because of consistency. 

Before 2017 is over- what dreams did you start that you did not finish? Are there any that you have started that you can complete this year or at least create the momentum for next year?

Here are for a few things that can help you to build momentum:

1. Start - Many times I don't start something because I fear i won't finish it. But you don't know until you try.
2. Share - Tell somebody about your dreams and visions, but also ask them to hold you accountable. This has to be someone you trust who you know will tell you the truth - someone who will encourage you when you want to give up.
3. Push - (I kept trying to think of something beginning with 's', but I struggled! - Keep going. Invest in your dreams everyday. It takes 21 days to form a habit, so keep going until your dreams are complete!
