Dreams do come true.
I am not talking about a Disney Family Movie dream coming true or the countless urban legend stories of dreams-come-true-or-did they?
I am talking about real life, living and breathing dreams coming true.
I know this subject intimately. Why? Last night one of my dreams came true, a long ago dream spoken by a little girl in elementary school in New Jersey: a sweet little wide-eyed and naïve child who was entirely devoted to the notion, “I can do anything and be anything I want to be!”
I bet there was a little boy or little girl inside of you like that at one point in your life.
Where do these little ones inside us go?
Last night – October 22, 2009 – my wide-eyed little girl’s vision became a reality.
It is sad to say I almost forgot her wistful insistence. It is sad to say she was placed, sort of off kilter on the shelf for far longer than she would have felt comfortable.
It is remarkable to say she came down from that shelf, that she brought her long-ago-spoken dream into fruition now.
I had some “dreams along the way” come to fruition, too.
It is almost the ten-year-anniversary of leaving employment with the County of Kern, a job I took strictly due to a “should do this, gotta do this, have no choice but do this” mentality. When I look back across the last ten years I see a sea of accomplishment and life lessons I never would have achieved had I stuck with a sleepy, in denial conventional lifestyle I lived for far too long.
For another woman, that exact life style may be her dream come true, but I knew from the very beginning it wasn’t my dream come true. Yet – I stayed there, unhappy and either vaguely or painfully unsatisfied until I broke free and started this, my life adventure.
In a way, that breaking free was the first phase of bringing the long-ago Julie’s dream into today’s reality.
It started with the breaking free from vaguely uncomfortable, “is this what I really want?” and “is this really what my life is about?” line of questioning which began to spark an inner dialogue, sometimes so deep within me I didn’t hear (or perhaps refused to hear) any part of it.
It makes me wonder this:
Do you hear yourself asking the same questions I asked? “Is this what I really want?” and “Is this really what my life is about?”
My life adventure of the past ten years has included my own journey, and what charges me up the most has never been the stuff I have done. That is great, I love it, I revel in it, I delight in those moments when I achieve something cool or experience my own dream come true.
AND….
I am even more fired up when I come alongside other people and inspire, coach, collaborate, come alongside and stick with them through bringing their own dreams come true.
What is stopping you?
Is it the beginning that is stopping you?
Remember: Dreams do come true.
Is it belief that you can’t? I had that belief for far too long.
Remember: Dreams do come true.
Is it the “But I don’t know how to?” I had that belief, also. My story includes staying asleep for far too long. It took the Universe sending me a sign that was unavoidably strong. It shook me, rattled me, forced me awake, practically shouting, “HEY! Julie, don’t you realize it yet, Dreams do come true…INCLUDING yours!”
