“We plan our lives according to a dream that came to us in our childhood, and we find that life alters our plans. And yet, at the end, from a rare height, we also see that our dream was our fate. It’s just that providence had other ideas as to how we would get there. Destiny plans a different route, or turns the dream around, as if it were a riddle, and fulfills the dream in ways we couldn’t have expected.” ~ Ben Okri

So you’re all grown up now.

[1] Or maybe not. If that’s the case, even better.

Either way, there were some pretty big dreams in your noggin back when you were a kid.

Now, travel back in your imagination to when you were that big-dreamin’ kid:

• What did you see yourself doing?
• Are you doing it?
• Is it possible that you are, just in another form?

These are important questions, and I’ll tell you why. Most creative and entrepreneurial types [2] began to see some inkling of that drive when they were young. Some choose to squash and ignore it, and our [3] educational system does a great job of helping that along.

Here’s My Challenge for You…

Take some time this weekend and:

• Explore if what you are doing relates to the dreams you had when you were young.
• Do something you saw yourself doing as a grown-up, when you were a kid.
• Commit to making your whole life look more like you imagined it would be.

You’ll be surprised at how making those dreams a reality is easier than you think.

What were your dreams…?
