If You Can Imagine It...

"If you can imagine it, you can achieve it; it you can dream it, you can become it." - William Arthur Ward


Something happens to most of us as we grow up - we stop believing that we are worthy of our dreams and childhood imaginations. Think back to when you were a child. What did you tell people you wanted to be when you grew up? What did you dream about becoming? What did you hope for? What did you do for fun? What made you feel most alive?


Now think about your life today. Have you seen any (or all) of your childhood dreams come true? Why or why not? Are you living the life you'd always imagined you'd live?


Research supports the notion that if you want to know what you should be doing career-wise, think back to what you used to enjoy doing most as a child. How many of us are linking our passions and purpose to our careers? How much more time are some of us going to waste before we start living the lives we were destined to live? 


The good news is that as long as you're alive, there's still time to achieve and to become what you've imagined and dreamed. Pick up that long-lost hobby and remember what it feels like to get so lost in something you lose track of time. Take time to play with your children - doing so just might remind you why it's so important to take time to laugh and dream. Make that leap, step out on faith, and pursue a career path that aligns itself with the vision you (and you alone) have for your own life. 


Whether you strive to make large or small changes in your life, remember that every journey begins with a single step.
