Can money make dreams come true? Out curiosity, I wanted to find out if
individuals thought that money would make their dreams come true or if their
dreams were connected to a monetary gain. I posed this questions to my friends
and received an array of opinions. I was
surprised at the results!
Based on my poll, I’d say about half concluded that yes
money can make dreams come true. In
their opinion money would allow for financial freedom to contribute to
charities, help family and provide the means to achieve said dream. While on the opposite end of the spectrum,
other’s claim that money could not make dreams come true. This group concludes that you can’t wait
around for money to achieve your dreams.
You have to use what God has provided you and make it happen. They also say that following your dreams and
taking the steps to make them come true will lead to financial gain, so money
is like the icing on the cake. I can see both points of view!
It seems that people never get started on realizing their
dreams because they are too busy and instead of listing how they can achieve
their dreams they list ALL the reasons they cannot! Things like: I don’t have
enough money. I’m lacking talent. I don’t have the knowledge or capacity. My
past failures in the past are many. I have NO luck! Why would I think my dream
could change or make an impact? Before they even begin, the flag is thrown in
and they have defeated themselves! This is not what YOU deserve!
Dreaming and taking steps to achieve those dreams feels so
good. With or without a financial gain selflessly giving of yourself to a cause
that makes you feel warm and fuzzy, is a success and a dream achieved! Remember
the dream you have for yourself exists to turn your life into a priceless
painting that is a vision of joy, dedication and contribution. Living your life
doing what you love on your own terms, what I call creating a Life By Design,
is the best thing you could ever do for yourself!!
“To be able to get out of bed and do what you love for the rest of the day is
beyond words.” – John Schroeder
Your dream that is embedded and born deep in your heart
would not exist if you were not given the power to make it come true! Your dream
is uniquely yours and only you have the ability to bring it to fruition. If you
thought about it, then you have the innate know how to achieve it! Instead of
focusing on ALL the reasons you can’t make a list of all the reason you can!
“You’re never given a
wish without also being give the power to make it true. You may have to work for it, however.” – Richard Bach
The individuals that make a difference in the world, who
stop at nothing to live their dream, are those who believed whole heartedly in
their dreams and proceeded until they manifested what is so deeply embedded in
their hearts! The key to success is the ability to envision your dream and see
it from your heart’s eye and how profoundly it can change and impact your life
and the lives of those around you! If
you can envision it, you can CREATE it!! No money needed for dreaming!
“The future belongs to
those who believe in the beauty of their dreams.” – Eleanor Rossevelt
Denying your dreams is such a disserve to yourself! You
create the best possible life for yourself when you take steps daily toward
your dreams. One day of focusing and pursuing the life you dream for yourself
will not land you on the stars, maybe on the clouds. Living a ‘life by design’ takes diligence,
consistency and a daily desire to persevere! Everyday a step forward is a step
closer to the life you dream for yourself and your family! Rocks, bumps, turns,
mountains may fall in your way, but not allowing those obstacles to derail you,
is where the work begins! If living out your dream and life by design was an
easy road, EVERYONE would be in that blissful place. Nothing amazing and great comes easy!
”I’m a dreamer. I have
a dream and reach for the stars, and if I miss a star then I grab a handful of
clouds.” – Mike Tyson
You have a hunger and a strong desire to live a life you
create on your own terms, nothing will feed that hunger more than pursuing your
dreams! Every day that you take and create forward momentum will add meaning to
your life and make all your hard work worthwhile. The pursuit of happiness and dreams will give
you a reason to wake feeling excited and enthusiastic! At the end of the day, you will be able to
lay your head on your pillow and say today I fed my hunger, I gave selflessly
of myself and took the necessary steps to become one step closer to the life I
dream of!
“If you take
responsibility for yourself you will develop a hunger to accomplish your
dreams.” – Les Brown
If you dim the light, the love in your heart, your soul will
begin to fade! Too many individuals are living, but very few are truly ALIVE!
Most are just going through the motions doing only the bare minimum to get
through the day. This is usually out of
fear, fear of failing, fear of not being able to achieve what to them seems
like something so unattainable! However,
the only way to truly LIVE and be ALIVE in your life is to follow your dreams,
follow what makes you truly happy! It may be scary, and yes, you may fail
before you succeed, but the end destination will be worth the hard work and
setbacks! Fight for your life! Fight for
your dreams!
“…when you cease to
dream you cease to live.” – Malcolm Forbes
Everyone who chooses to follow their dreams are pioneers,
searching for new grounds to plant your seed. It is evitable as a pioneer that
you will face criticism, judgment and be misunderstood, not because your dream
is wrong, but because you have chosen to step outside the box and do something
that many don’t have the courage to do! Unfortunately, most are not used to
seeing others, dreamers, with the crazy notion that they can make their lives
and the world a better place, actually pursue and take steps to make their
dreams come true! It’s a crazy idea that
one person could ever make a difference or create a life by design, right?? Of
course not!! Where there is a dream, their surely is a way! Fear must not be
your driving force or excuse! YOU are worth your dream! Be a dreamer even when those around you
criticize your choice to do so! Most people have been given wings to fly, but
will never know they can fly because they are too afraid to fall! Spread your
wings, take the leap and soar!!
“A dreamer is one who
can only find his way by moonlight, and his punishment is that he sees the dawn
before the rest of the world.” – Oscar
Wilde
You are worth and deserving of big dreams. You deserve to become remarkable! If you don’t
leave your imprint in your life, in the lives around you and in the world, how
will you ever be remembered? We were born to be great and not live small. Our dreams give us the ability to be great
and stop living small and insignificantly! That is not what we are destined to
do! We are beautiful, complex beings created uniquely, with unique qualities
that are intended to be shared, not stuffed away! We have the ability to dream
because each of us have innately strong characters that strive to live big!
Live big, bigger than those around you think is possible! Show the nonbelievers that with hard work,
dedication and a true desire to live a life by design, EVERYTHING is possible!
“Dreams are the
touchstones of our character.” – Henry
David Thoreau
We are given the ability to dream because we have a strong
desire to make a difference in our own lives and the lives of those around us!
The lovely thing about dreams is YOU are your answer the puzzle. Only YOU have the tools and power to create
and live your dream! Because all of us armed with this ability, we owe it to
ourselves, to use the God given tools!
Why would any of us settle for less when we have the power to create
more? Each and every one of us have the ability to live life by design. It is not biased! It is not just for the rich! It is not just for those of power! Every last
one of us have the passion and ability, we just need to tune into that fire,
and feed it daily! Don’t limit yourself, dream big, and start making it happen!
“All our dreams come
true, if we have the courage to pursue them.” – Walt Disney
If you have a passion, unleash that passion on the world,
despite what others may think, say or do! YOU CAN DO IT! You DESERVE it! Recognize
the beauty in your dreams and the brilliance of the legacy you will leave
behind! BE A DREAMER!!!
The information in this blog is based on my personal
opinion, the opinion of those I polled and information I gathered in light
hearted research. It is my opinion, in
my life, I feel money cannot make dreams come true. In order for a dream to
become your reality you have to be willing to give of yourself selflessly,
without the expectation of anything in return. To love and have the ability to
offer compassion, empathy and paying forward your God given talent and know
how, is a dream achieved and life by design created! I am a true believer in
what comes around goes around! If you can look at your life and can see the
change and impact you've had in your personal life, the lives of those around
you and in the world, you have reached the stars! Financial gain, financial freedom will always
follow a pure heart, a heart that leads with purposeful intention and that my
friends is the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow! After working so hard to
make a difference and create your life by design, you now will have the ability
and means to take that dream outside the realm of your immediate circle of
life! You now will have the ability to
pay forward your dream and reach and enrich the lives of other’s around the
world! A dream and passion should be shared not kept inside for continued personal
gain!
