What are you doing for your dream?

The dream grows every day, through seemingly small, seemingly trivial actions. It grows with a lot of dedication, with confidence, with love, with hope, but, at the same time, with effort. The effort to overcome those challenges that we face, especially those that come from within us, in those days when we lose all hope that we will succeed. Especially in those days.

From the experiences I have had so far, I have learned that my dream, to reach people's souls through what I write, is also my responsibility. In today's article, I want to share with you some experiences that have made me aware that I am and are fully responsible for doing what we love to do.

To grow, the dream needs time.

I would add: of our time, which we should offer as often as possible. In order to be fulfilled, the dream is required to be practiced! If it is healthy for the body to walk at least 30 minutes a day, I think it is very healthy for the soul to dedicate at least the same time to our dream. Metaphorically speaking, let's meet our dream, let's give him time to get to know him even better, but also to get to know us.

I admit, I did not always excel in this regard, and when I neglected the time my dream needed, it was felt. I think writing is like riding a bike, that is, it never forgets, but when I came back, after long breaks, it was hard to get used to the idea of ​​balance.

Sometimes breaks are natural and beneficial.

No, not the dream breaks, but the dream breaks, and I'm not talking about the sleep breaks. I think that those periods when we don't really do something, but we reflect on future projects or, simply, we need to better internalize the previously learned lessons, are necessary from time to time. It helps us to recharge our batteries, because, as I said, the dream requires sustained effort.

It is perfectly normal to give ourselves moments of peace, and then to return with even more confidence to what we love to do. It took me a while to realize that I can't always write on automatic fire, that there are days when I need to meditate on an idea, a project, only to be able to put it down on paper. In general, I believe that our minds need time to "bake" ideas, which will be taken out of the oven at the right time.

Setting realistic goals.

I believe in the idea of ​​self-transcendence, but insofar as it is not exaggerated and blends harmoniously with our acceptance, as we are, with all its imperfections, shortcomings, implicitly and with our limits. In other words, I don't know if it's always healthy to set goals that are far too high, far beyond our control. Certainly, at some point, these goals, which are part of our dream journey, will no longer seem intangible to us, but until then we can learn to go through this journey without aiming to continually surpass ourselves.

And in this case, I needed time to understand that I can't make huge leaps every time. I had extremely long breaks in which I deviated from the path to my dream, and when I returned to it, I wanted to move the mountains as soon as possible. And I failed because I missed exercise. My goal was too high for that moment. That's how I realized that it's better to set smaller, regular plans to help me evolve and push my limits.

In conclusion, I leave you with a fictional dialogue, which I hope will inspire you:

- What are you doing today?

- What I usually do: I travel to fulfill my dream!
