365 Lessons-Lesson 354: Allow Yourself to Dream Big

If you are going to spend a day dreaming, dream BIG. That's what I did today. I completely procrastinated. There were so many things to do and I didn't want to do ANY of them. I needed to write a book, write this blog, clean house, do some shopping. Nothing. Complete lethargy. I was off in La, La Land..off in my dreams.

I did enjoy myself. It wasn't a bad day. But instead of getting down to business, I allowed myself to daydream a bit too much. I doodled around, wrote some Christmas cards, paid a few bills, thumbed through a few magazines, made some preliminary plans for my vacation in March and that's about it. Yesterday I did write quite a bit of Chapter 8, but I was hoping to finish today. There are still a few hours to go before the night is completely over, so I have some time to redeem myself.

Instead of getting down on myself for having a day of doodling and daydreaming, I'm going to let it fly. After all, if it weren't for having a few dreams to daydream about, I wouldn't be where I am today. The problem occurs when it's all dreams and no action. I GET that part. You have to start building or else it's just a castle in the sky. You have to start taking steps toward your dreams. But it's good to know what your dreams are, otherwise how can you take the appropriate steps to get to where you want to go.

My dreams are BIG. I see them very clearly. I live from the answer. I live as if I am already there. I used to live in the mind set that I couldn't have certain things. That certain destinations in life were only for a privileged few. I don't feel that way anymore. I believe we all make our own lives. We decide what we want to do with the time we have. Usually I am very focused, but today I allowed myself a day of dreaming and it was good! Now back to business ^_^!
