Dreams Before Plans | The Power of Secret Dreams

11/7/2014

14 Comments

 

It’s the end of year. Time to reflect and plan. But I’d rather start with dreams instead, because that's the kind of girl I am. 

And that's what I did this week and when I let myself go, one picture came to mind. 

A crystal clear picture of me and my boys, following the summer around the world for a year! 


Can you imagine wearing flip-flops all year round? Wearing a bikini and swimming everyday? Having that healthy glow from basking in the sun? Pure Bliss!

Even the scariest dream, seems less scary when you're sharing it with the right people.

There you have it. That’s what I want. That’s my secret dream. The dream that sounds so crazy that it scares the bejesus out of me. And you know what? Writing about it here, sharing it with you guys, makes it more tangible, less scary and even less crazy, than it sounded in my head. Seriously. Give it a try.

What's your secret dream?

What’s that one thing you haven’t shared with anyone yet? The dream that in your mind that seems crazy. Simply getting your dreams out of your head and into words is so incredibly liberating. Once you have your secret dream out in the open, share it. Share it like you mean it.

Yeap, you’ve heard me. 

Share your secret dream with the world. Share it in the comments below, Share it with a good friend. Share it with your partner. There’s magic in sharing. Share it with the right people. Share it with dreamers, with positive people who will get excited too {just for you!}. They may also be inspired to share their secret dream with you.
Get your dreams out of your head and into words and watch what happens![tweet this]


But there’s just one thing I want you to be careful with. 

Do not share your dreams with people whom you KNOW deep down inside will try to discourage you from going after what you want {by the way, why the f** do we do that, anyway?!}.

I can’t wait to see what’s on your mind. What your big, juicy, secret dream is. Who knows, maybe someone you know is already living your dream and can safely guide you to it!

What’s that? You don’t have a secret dream? 
No way. 


Of course you do! It’s probably hidden below a million shoulds and musts and to-do lists. 

But if you can’t see the light at the end of the tunnel, let me help you get the clarity you need to re-discover what you really {and secretly} want to do and how to go after it, staring today. Action steps included. 
Clarity Sessions
60 Shades of Clarity, are one-off, no-strings-attached, highly intensive, 60-minute coaching sessions, designed to help you break free from the thinking loop, get clear on what needs to get done & start taking actual steps forward, in whatever it is that you’re stuck with.  

Still on pre-launch special, at $97, it’s a steal.

Great post Nichole and so true! I wholeheartedly agree with making sure you share your secret dreams with the "right" people. I am fortunate to be living my secret dream right now! I was in a mis job and wanted to be able to wake up and do whatever I wanted whenever I wanted and I have finally created that for myself! Anything really can happen!

Right on Nichole! Our dreams are really the call of our heart and by keeping them secret it's as if we're saying we don't deserve or really believe in them. I think the key is to know we have them because they're given by our Spirit...but not to attach our identity to them.

Nailed it Silvia. Exactly how can our dreams flourish if we do not let them see the light of day? If we do not share them with the world? With the people we love? With ourselves?

YES! I love it! I also love how you suggest looking for someone who is successfully living what your dream might look like. After all, they are the ones who could actually guide you there, not just the nay sayers who tell you it can't be done! It's just because they haven't done it, doesn't mean it's not possible. Also, I would totally chase the summer too : )

Definitely stay away from the nay sayers Court!

That's probably the first thing you need to do to give your dream a fighting chance, next up, sharing it with the right people.

I'm already looking at snow out my window as I type this, so chasing the summer sounds spot on. However, my secret dream is to write a book.

Your secret dream doesn't sound crazy at all! Thanks for sharing it! Mine is to be a key speaker on female leadership and to be featured on the Today Show and to share the stage with Arianna Huffington, Brene Brown, Sheryl Sandberg..you know, the big time. Eek!

This is such a beautiful reminder to fearlessly share your dreams with your support group. I lost a bit of this about myself within the year. Thanks for the great and inspiring post. This is my first time reading your blog but it won't be the last.
