Dreams… do you have one?
Two? Twenty?
Did you know some people have forgotten how to dream or have
given up on the idea of having one?
Let’s look at these words:
DREAM
GOALS
MISSION
LIFE PURPOSE
Do they mean the same thing to you? For many people – dream, goals, mission and
life purpose have blurred lines. Are
your lines blurred? Or do you have these
words categorized to have their own meaning in YOUR LIFE?
How do you categorize them in your brain?
How do you categorize them in your heart?
What does your conscious mind know when looking at these
words?
Now … let’s look at how you drive your ‘dream’ forward…
whatever ‘dream’ means to you.
First, I want to get everyone on the same page, let’s watch
MOTIVATIONAL MAINTENANCE:
Daily motivation for you is either necessary from an
external source or necessary for you to have by being grounded, and centered
within for self-motivation.
Perhaps you will openly admit you need both, however most
people will admit they only need one and that is how they define the difference
between DREAM vs. MISSION/LIFE PURPOSE.
Goals are often some sort of ‘big picture’ idea of “I’ll
accomplish XYZ by _________ time.”
We humans have become “programmed” to believe that we have
to put a deadline to goals.
However, with dreams… there is no expiration date except for
when we die. We can dream continuously about our “Sigh… ultimate life of
___(fill in the blank to define your paradise).”
A mission and a life purpose often cohesively walk
side-by-side as something that both the human and soul know that it MUST DO… it’s
a reason for waking up and feeling driven or motivated to keep going.
However, like I mention in the video above that you just
watched, sustaining motivation is sometimes hard to do if you are not focusing
on how you get your motivation.
Old souls (yeah, I know, souls have no age), will say that
the mission/life purpose is enough of a motivator to keep going, to keep
doing. Though, I would like to bring up
the point that sometimes, it is enough to keep going and keep doing, but not as
always as easy to keep BEING. But how
can we make this easier?
Let me break this down a bit further…
When you DREAM, a dream seems lofty, surreal, fairytale-like
in VISION.
The human may think a dream can be confined to the
definition of a goal, and mostly this is because Walt Disney said “If you can
dream it, you can do it.”
So let me ask you… is your DREAM a VISION? Or is your dream your imagination creating?
If we look at it in the context of what Walt said, we can
drive a dream forward by compartmentalizing a dream in a tangible PLAN to
execute.
Therefore the DREAM has now become a GOAL.
So if DREAMS have no deadlines, but GOALS do… well, haven’t
we changed how we drive that dream forward?
***MIND BLOWN?***
Is it? Hang on... this could happen again!
Now… if this DREAM, this VISION which had no expiration date now has a deadline and is
a GOAL – if you have discovered your LIFE PURPOSE OR YOUR MISSION and your
reason for being here on this planet …..
AND YOUR MISSION/LIFE PURPOSE is what you know you have to
do…. Are you really in control of the GOAL-ORIENTED DEADLINE?
Uh… maybe not. A LIFE PURPOSE IS MEANT TO GIVE YOU A PURPOSE
FOR LIFE.
A MISSION IS PART OF YOUR REASON FOR BEING.
Therefore, if you’ve suddenly put a DEADLINE on it… you are
creating an expiration date while you are still alive and probably before your
time is up to achieve said “Goal” – once the former dream.
Now that we look at MOTIVATIONAL MAINTENANCE … isn’t the motivation
to “keep going” actual motivation to keep going until you can’t keep going anymore?
***MIND BLOWN, AGAIN?****
I bring this to your attention for PURPOSE to show you how
relevant this ‘motivation’ is and how you can become self-motivated.
In other words, you do not need to be utilizing the crutch
of external motivation for your sole SOUL existence of being… but your “SOUL”
purpose for being motivated. If your DREAM is in alignment with YOUR VISION,
which essentially becomes your MISSION to SEE THROUGH as a part of your LIFE
PURPOSE, it already exists.
Now, this is not to say we can go forward without
support. The HUMAN needs support.
But bigger question, DOES THE SOUL?
Much of the HUMAN ‘codependency’ is based on some sort of
whip cracking to stay motivated to see a dream through isn’t necessary if you
are driven by the idea that you have to do it… or if you’ve made it a goal and
put a deadline on it.
The SOUL has no codependency, THOUGH past contracts or
visions to ‘carry out’ in our earthly existence could be reliant upon other
catalysts to DRIVE THE DREAM FORWARD.
Still following?
Either way… if you have a DEADLINE to achieve it or a
LIFELINE to live it out until it is… doesn’t the dream get driven forward no
matter what?
DARE I SAY IT AGAIN, DEAR SOULS? *** WHOOOSH****
Part of my reason for this specific blog is for you to have an
extension of this motivational maintenance VIDEO above, to show you that yes,
the whole key point is introspection, but I have now give you special tools to
identify how to apply motivation when you
define what it is you need.
Understanding what you need for your mental, emotional and
spiritual support of your physical dream/vision/goal/mission and life purpose is
knowing with all that you have and all that you are, you CAN HAVE the force to
drive that dream forward in BEING… NOT JUST DOING.
Through many of my blogs I’ve stated this, but perhaps you
have not been able to apply the context of this in a productive way until
now.
If this is where YOU START… then I am glad you now have a
starting point from the most functional fundamental foundation.
So dream, visualize, goal plan what you believe to be your
mission or life purpose knowing HOW TO DRIVE YOUR DREAM LINK FORWARD as best as
you can knowing it stays with you as a part of you and there are no ‘secrets’
to it coming to fruition.
Your timeline is yours and it is part of your pathway… the
only thing you have to deal with is your patience and persistence to drive it
all forward.
That is your battle cry anthem - patience and persistence. These
are the two things really needing the motivational maintenance….everything else
is attached to perception.
Luckily for patience and persistence… you already know from
reading my August and September 2017 blogs that this is all connected to the
LINKS in your LIFELINE as the dream unfolds, as the goals are attained
(consciously or not) and as you evolve into your actual mission and life
purpose which unfolds in front of you in unexpected turns.
TRUST IT… even if you didn’t dream it or see it…. it is
becoming what it is becoming right here, right now in being while you are busy
doing.
Namaste.
