Reconnecting to your BIG Dream
It’s always a good idea to take some time and really reconnect with your BIG Dream. To take an intentional moment to quietly sit down and just be with the image of the dream and the feeling of living within it.
Why It’s Important to Reconnect with Your BIG Dream
There are many ways you can do this, and it all depends on how you connect with your own personal spirit. I love nature. I’m not a big outdoorsy person, I’m not a hiker, camper, or anything like that, but I do love being still in nature. I love to sit in the sun, feet on the ground, listening to the bustling world around me. That “noise”, be it birds, wind, or cars, shows me that the earth is constantly moving about and making things happen.
Recently I was able to be by the ocean, and I sat on a large driftwood log at the edge of the tide and let my feet sink into the sand. I watched as the disturbance revealed the rocks underneath. All the beautiful minerals that had been polished by the waves and sand. And those rocks that were still rough and bumpy as well. Even the small driftwood pieces that were floating about caught my eye.
As my daughter and I collected these beautiful treasures, it reminded me of the journey towards our BIG Dreams. Watching the seagulls floating on the water and knowing their keen eyes were on the lookout for their next opportunity. Thinking of the rough rocks that were rolled by the waves and the sand to become smooth and refined. It’s all a bit like the journey.
We go through obstacles that polish off the rough edges, we get knocked off balance by the waves, baked by the sun, and cooled by the wind. All these elements, seemingly harsh at the time, are what is needed to create the beauty of the dream.
Lessons Learned While You Reconnect with Your BIG Dream
When you take a moment to sit still and really connect with your Big Dream, notice the things that have brought you this far. Those things that have polished you thus far. You’ve been through some storms. You’ve had some waves knock you down. You’ve had the sun shine upon you and your journey.
Next, think about the journey ahead. Imagine the waters ahead and what may come to help polish you further. Acknowledge these possibilities and reassure yourself that they come to assist you, not to punish you. The more you appreciate the lessons that are in your path, the easier it is to work through them. Not to say it won’t be tough, just easier than if you resist the opportunity and work.
Look past the path, at the Dream you are creating. Imagine yourself there, the people, the weather, the feeling. Really connect with your vision. Doing so will solidify why you are going down this path and help you get through whatever storms may come between now and then.
