We build our future with our now. This moment holds the power and potential of all we desire. The greatest, truest moment you will ever have is now. It is your moment. The first step is turning inward to face your heart’s desires. Dream of the path and life you want. Begin to explore and create your wildest dreams by living them. This requires curiosity and exploration, study, and courage. If you can muster the confidence to trust yourself, all the better. The more you practice flying into your dreams, the higher you can go.

Define Your Goal

Clarity is key. What have you always dreamt of being, doing, and having? Can you define the life you want for yourself? Sit quietly and think about it. Meditate. Journal. Get clear on what a day in this dream life will look like and, most importantly, feel like.

Your heartfelt dreams hold the keys to living a life you love. Begin unlocking your dream life now.

Choose your first step

Think about the big picture of your dream life. Then, break it down into steps. Make the steps small enough to be doable. You will build self-love and confidence as you march boldly toward your ideal life. Small step by small step. Do some research. Sign up for a class. Buy the supplies needed. Find a mentor, a teacher, or a guru. Whatever your heart desires, you can progress by beginning now. Taking action will build your confidence and enthusiasm. These powerful emotions will carry you far on your journey. 

Feel free to fly by the seat of your pants out of the pure desire to meet the sky.

Avoid the trap of perfectionism

The more you do the thing you love with deliberate practice, the more progress you will make. You will even get good. Add in the concept of mundancing–do the work with presence, love, and joy. You will get even better, faster. You will never achieve perfection. We live in a perfectly imperfect world. Give yourself the slack and grace to be good or even great. And to make many so-called mistakes along the way. Jump. Fly. Fall. Get up. Grow wings while you fly. Fly higher. And higher.

Perfectionism is the procrastinator’s best excuse. Don’t use it. It’s a nasty trap that will not serve you. Fall in love with simply doing what you dream of doing. You can get good at it. You can do it. Stay true to yourself. It doesn’t have to be perfect; trust me, it never will be. Surely, with dedication and devotion, you can live your greatest dreams. Build the future you dream of and begin today.

Choose your next step

What now? The more you can dissect the desire into doable actions, the better. Deconstruct the dream of tomorrow into the parts needed to achieve it today. You won’t know all of them. You can figure out the next best possible thing to do. Do that. Remember that doing what most aligns with you builds your confidence. Your confidence builds your vitality. With renewed energy and vibrance, you can go strong. Each step you take will encourage the next step. Just keep moving forward. 

Now is now. Build tomorrow with today.

Envision yourself already living your dream life. Embody it. Breathe it. Live it. Experience every bit of it. After all, beauty is experienced in the process of our great becoming. If you love the process, you will progress. You will paint your sky as you grow wings. There will be clouds, rough weather conditions, darkness, and light. Still, you paint your sky with thoughts, beliefs, words, and actions–these are your wings. Don’t you want a sky without regret for not flying into your long-held dreams?

It’s never too soon or too late, but now is the right moment to begin. Build your future now. It’s challenging to let go of what was and to open to all that can be. It is the key to taking flight into the most beautiful life you can lead. Your long-held dreams are your guiding light. So, ask yourself what it is you’d love to embrace. Then, become that, do that, and have that by bravely moving toward it.
