One of my first best friends ever writes a blog. She was always into gymnastics and sports, so I wasn't surprised when I found out that she is in the fitness industry today. She is running her own business to develop new concepts and to inspire people to a healthier and more active life.
Some time ago she wrote a blog post on dreams. How important it is to never let go of your dreams. Her trick was to spend some time, I think fifteen minutes or so, each day to take a small step to get closer to her dreams. I think everybody has fifteen minutes. The question is if you know what your dreams are?
May be a career change? A small step could be to spend fifteen minutes researching job adverts or recruitment consultants. Or may be book a lunch with someone who has the career you aspire to have. Most people enjoy talking about their jobs. And who knows what happens next.
May be a healthier life style? Try a new recipe for a smoothie, adding some spinach and parsley. Or take a ten minutes walk at lunch time. Could be easier than booking an appointment with a personal trainer and stop eating chocolate full stop... Perhaps the ten minutes walk increases to fifteen or twenty minutes? And eventually to a run?
May be more love? Could looking into someone's eyes and smile be a first step to open up for the possibility that next time the person you are looking at is someone you actually end up talking to a little bit longer? May be that person has a friend who is even more interesting?
I know it may sound basic and may be even ridiculous. I don't know, but I believe in the concept of focusing your mind on what you want more of rather than complaining about everything that is not the way you want them to be. Even if you sometimes need to let off steam, don't let the steam off-load steal time from your fifteen minutes walk towards your dreams.
