The hardest part of living your dream is getting started.

Often we like to think of all the things that can go wrong, and not about what can, and will, go right. This keeps us in our box, our comfort zone.

What if we thought about our dream differently? Not as something in the distance that seems out of reach, but rather, as a wondrous journey of excitement and gratitude. A journey towards self-discovery and happiness

The quote this week is from Henry David Thoreau who said, “Go confidently in the direction of your dreams! Live the life you've imagined.”

In the full context of this quote he doesn’t say anything about reaching your goals, or your dreams. That is because the quote is about taking the journey. Through this journey you will recognize aspects of living that will free you from your perceived limitations.
I have said before that the “journey is the reward”. When you view life in this manner you will realize it is the strength you find within the disappointment and failure that builds your confidence and understanding.  

Each time you get up after a setback, every time you make progress, you will find success.

These successes are the foundation that lead to a found freedom to simply live and experience the spectacular gift we call life. To live life to the fullest.  

And if you don’t ever reach your goal, remember what Les Brown says, “Shoot for the moon, even if you miss you’ll land among the stars.”  

Stepping out of your comfort zone is scary, but recognize the magnificent journey you can embark on (and the fulfillment you will find) by going confidently in the direction of your dreams.
