Don't Stop Believing!

SHINEWORTHY Lifestyles - Confidence to Move Forward, Clarity to Shine!

Sometimes when I ask people how they are doing, they will reply like this:

"I'm doing great, I'm livin' the dream!" I love this so much, and I hope they really are livin' the dream.

What about you? Are you doing great? Are you livin' the dream? If not - why not?

I invite you take a trip down Memory Lane for a moment.

Remember when you were in school and the teacher asked you what you wanted to do when you grew up? What did you say or write about?

Your answers may have changed since then, but I'm pretty sure the underlying goals have not.

Allow me to explain:

You were created with certain gifts and abilities already inside you. You are uniquely made and there is no one else like you. Instead of comparing yourself to others, and trying to conform to their ways, be YOU. Going back to the answer you gave to your teacher may be different now, but your core interests have likely remained the same.

For me, I remember my answer was always quite bold; however, I have always gravitated toward the same types of goals all throughout my life. My answer was, I want to be the first woman to become President of United States. I can only imagine what my third grade teacher thought about my answer, but she didn't make fun of me. Instead, she encouraged me by giving me leadership tasks in the classroom. I no longer want to fill the role of POTUS, but I still have a desire to help people achieve their dreams and improve their lives.

What do you love to do? What gets you up in the morning? When you think about Livin' the Dream what does that look like for you?

I encourage you to take time this week to give this some thought. If you've been holding back because you think it's too late or you have an impossible dream. I truly believe the reason the dream is still in your heart and mind is because it is your dream to claim. If you really want it, don't stop believing and start making it happen by taking steps that will take it from a dream to reality.

Here are a few steps to help you get started:

• YOU HAVE TO SEE IT TO BELIEVE IT!

Put it in writing - place it in clear view - repeat it daily

• DO HARD THINGS EVEN WHEN YOU DON'T FEEL LIKE IT!

Nothing worth having comes easy: consistency over time = success

• FIND YOUR PEOPLE!

  Surround yourself with like-minded people who are for you, and not against you.

  To have a community of cheerleaders that celebrate your wins along the way will give you reasons to keep going even when the going gets tough.

• INVEST IN YOU!

  Spend time and money learning and growing in ways that will help you improve your life.

  Maintain a healthy lifestyle: taking care of your mind, your body, and your soul = true joy

Taking these steps can be hard at first, but with consistency over time they can become new and improved habits for you. And then, when people ask you how you are doing, you can say,

I'm doing great, I'm livin' the dream!
