Welcome to the blog of Lifestyle Design Partners, the companion site to www.LifestyleDesignPartners.com. Here, we’ll discuss tips, techniques, and results for finding, funding, and achieving your dreams and goals.
Approximately 95% of everyone we know, hasn’t made the time to really think about what they want from their life. As few as 3% have written dreams and goals. I’m not really surprised, since not so long ago, I had let my dreams slip away too. No more! My dreams and aspirations motivate me and fuel my actions. After all, your actions create your FREEDOM. Inaction becomes complacency. FREEDOM vs. Complacency…you get to choose.
From the time when we’re children with unlimited dreams to adulthood when “responsibility” becomes the norm, our dreams seem to get pushed to the back-burner so we can “make a living”. The problem is that without a dream, the exciting part of someones life is dulled into work all day drudgery.
Talk to a kid about his dreams, and they’ll tell you about it in living color. You know their passion by their excitement. You can tell they see it, feel it, smell and taste it, & hear it, just by the way they talk about it.
Ask an adult what his dreams are (I have) and get ready for the excuse bandwagon to roll. “It’s not that easy to…”, “I don’t have time to…”, “You don’t understand what I have to…” STOP ALREADY! We all have obligations to our family, our work, and community. It’s no different for anyone.
Why do some people always seem to get what they want and others continually struggle? It is my opinion that it having big dreams and achievable goals makes the difference.
Watch what people do to determine what their priorities are. If what they want is important enough, you will observe them taking action steps that will help them achieve their success. You’ll hear the passion in their voice when they talk about it. You’ll notice the sparkle in their eyes. There is a spring in their step because they know what they want, where they’re going, and they have a plan to get there. They refuse to settle for the complacency so prevalent in the world today.
I have been called a “dreamer”. I’ll take that as a compliment, thank you. Here’s your invitation to join in the discussion. Share any ideas you have. Do you have an inspiring story? Share it with us.
Let’s help each other achieve the life we want for ourselves and the ones we love. Visit www.lifestyledesignpartners.com for ways for you to find, fnd, and achieve your goals.
