Go After Your Dreams

I’m writing this as a reminder for myself first and then one for you. I want you to think about a month ago or a year ago. A lot of things have happened and some of those things took a lot of your time. Did you make time for your dreams and personal goals? If you have that is wonderful. You are making time to grow and achieve the things you are after. However, like many of us they were put on the back burner especially with everything going on right now. A vision board is a wonderful way to have a reminder of your dreams and to know that they are within reach. The picture I have shared with this post is my own vision board. Two of the things on this board I am actively working on achieving. The others I will be doing next. I have learned the way to achieve your goals is to make time to work on them, stay consistent, and believe in yourself. That saying believe it and you can achieve it is a real thing. Once you start saying something is going to happen, I will do...then you are talking it into existence. This world has so many wonderful opportunities and experiences waiting for us. We just have to go out and take advantage. So today reflect on your goals and dreams. What do you want for yourself and for your family. Once you pin point that down do the things and steps to achieve it. For example, one of my goals is to travel, but more importantly when I travel I want to learn from older ladies the grannies of these cities. I want to see the history in their hands as they cook. Recipes can be found for anything online, but those hands have the magic. They were taught from their grannies how to roll that dough for the perfect pasta and how to make those pastries light and fluffy. I just admire the history of cooking and the traditional recipes that have been passed down. I want to take advantage of seeing that history, learning from it, and being able to share that with my children and others. I am a sucker for elderly people and for family traditions. I put high value and respect on both. To achieve this goal I am saving money for these travels. I am also researching the different cities I want to go to and what they are famous for. In Italy I want to learn homemade pasta and cannoli's, in France learn how to make french bread, and in German their different meats. I am also researching different cities in the U.S. that has high populations of people from these areas. Just in case I won't be able to go to all the places I want to overseas due to finances or current restrictions I still will be able to learn from these amazing women. That is my game plan for one of my dreams. Well seize the day and begin going after your dreams. Write it down, take a picture for a reminder, say it out loud, and believe it. You got this!
