We are quickly approaching a new year, and people everywhere will soon begin to make their New Year's Resolution. So, for the next several weeks, I've decided to focus my blog posts on the theme, “Live Your Dreams Awake.” The goal is to support you in your journey of making your dreams reality in the new year. 

Purposeful Planning Makes Dreams Possible

When we dream, often we’re asleep. At least that's how we think of dreams. But there is also another way to dream – exploring ideas in your imagination while you're awake. When I'm asleep and dreaming, I can go anywhere, and I can do anything. I can do the impossible. But when I wake up, I awake to my imagination. I can imagine the dream being possible as I look around me where I am, nationally, or globally. As we open our minds to desires, hopes, and dreams -- and what we would like to do with our lives now and in the future, we can envision so many things. You may want to do something that someone else will think is impossible. But, when I have a desire to do something, I will not pursue it without being intentional. When you have an intention, you must have a plan. No more fantasizing about it. No more just imagining it and leaving it stagnated in your mind. Purposeful planning makes dreams possible.
