live my dreams instead of dreaming my life

One of the first exercises is to list the goals you would like to accomplish in your lifetime (p.22). I think I’ve come to the right sight.

I decided I needed a life workbook to help me focus on and accomplish my goals. I bought a book entitled “Falling Awake: Creating the Life of Your Dreams.” On page 17, I am advised to find someone to do this book with me. Rather than asking friends to do a self-help book with me, I am posting here to/for people who have the same goal.

“Others can help you find new ways to create the life of your dreams, and you can do the same for them.” p.17

I don’t think this goal is specific enough for my list, but I will mark it as done since I have started realizing my dreams.

I am 38 years old, single, no children, and up until now, have lived my whole life for and under other people. I must live for me, and I must do so immediately… Now, I just need to know how to do this…

So Instead its time to start being her

This goal isn’t going that well. I know what my dreams are (some of them are on my 43T list), but somehow I cannot seem to make them happen. Eventhough most of them aren’t that difficult! Some cost money (what doesn’t ;)), but even when I have the money there is something holding me back. Maybe fear of change? I’ve had 43T for almost a year now and I’ve completed 15 goals, of which most are fairly easy, like dye my hair …. (insert random crazy colour here) and getting a yearcard for the zoo. I’m happy I did them, but I would have done them anyway. The only thing I’m happy about is that I learnt the basics of surfing. I wanted it for such a long time and I finally did it. It felt great and I want to learn more about it! So why can’t I take the step with other goals of mine, such as learning to dance and sing.

I feel pretty restless inside, I realy want to complete other goals of mine, live my dreams. Right now I feel like I have to take action NOW. I’ve been postponing a lot of my dreams for later, but I also live here in the present, why wait? I might be moving in three months, so some goals aren’t exactly right for the moment (like the learn to sing/dance ones), but dreams like skydiving in a vertical windtunnel can be done very well. I guess I should just follow my heart and live my dreams! Don’t postpone!

I’m going to mark this as done to make way for more specific goals.
I do so love daydreaming :) But if I catch myself doing it because I feel my life is boring me at that time, I’m going to make an effort to do something different to snap me out of it, or slow right down and really notice and appreciate the things around me that I’m taking for granted.
You only get back what you put in, after all.

I’d be nice to not have to retreat into daydreamland to enjoy myself. Its always such a downer to come back to reality. A little more effort to make reality better is probably required…

i want to live my dream!
im tired of dreaming, i want this to become real!
it means the world to me!
i really hope this works!
i’ve always wanted to be a disney channel actress!!

I don’t want to have to escape into my dreams to feel happy.
