5 Ways to Revive Your Dream!

Carpe diem!

Do you ever wonder…what happened to your dream? “Do you wonder what your life would be like if you had not listened as much to those eminently practical voices that told you to be realistic and stick to the known and listened instead to your own inner guidance?” write the Cappannellis in Do Not Go Quietly. “Studies show that people who follow their dreams are more creative, impassioned, energetic, connected to others and engaged in the world. So if you are willing to take a few steps, we believe you will soon discover that the dream you once had is still very much alive inside you and that it holds a key to some wonderful new discoveries and some great new adventures.”

STEP 4: Follow the guidance … “That old cliché about leading a horse to water is true, ” write the Cappannellis.“So, If you find yourself suddenly feeling the impulse to blow the dust off those paintbrushes; open the cover of the piano or your toolbox; or dig out that notebook full of ideas about that project, that new business idea or that novel you always wanted to write, then go right ahead! For the difference between those who do and those who only think about something is having the courage to act on the hints and suggestions you get from within. And please remember there will be challenges along the way, things you will have to learn and practice, and you may not win a Grammy, sell your first painting or make a million dollars, but you will feel a new level of joy and a sense of satisfaction knowing that you are being true to yourself."

STEP 5: Gratitude is the key … How can you be sure you have found the right place where your dream resides? “You’ll know,” write the Cappannellis in Do Not Go Quietly. “So welcome it. And please be sure to express your gratitude for the fact that the light of wonder and longing is alive and well inside of you. You may also want to keep this reconnection private for a while. You know what they say about ‘protecting vulnerable beginnings.’ So hold it sacred and nurture it, and above all, be willing to allow these first moments, these new re-connections to grow stronger and come more alive inside of you. Also be grateful for all that you have, for the remarkable people who make up your world, for the gifts and talents you possess and for that longing that has never left you and never will!”
