Your dream inspires your life!

I am on my way home from the movie Julia & Julie. You might be wondering why I write about it and how it fit in the context of my blog.

Both women have something in common. At a certain point in their life they had to watch out for a new challenge. They were fat up with the life they used to live. They were looking for something inspiring, something they would love to do. Nearly all people who achieved something great in their lives were at that point once or more often in their lives.

And you, have you ever been to that point yourself?

Have you ever done something because you were inspired by it? Have you ever been in such a situation? Have you ever decided to change your life and to do what inspires you also it sounded totally crazy and out of mind?

All successful people started with an idea in mind they loved deeply. They were excited about the impact they make to their own lives and that of others. They started with the idea to change the lives of thousands of people.

Can you say that about what you are doing now? Are you inspired to do what you do? Are you courageous enough to go for your dream? And are you still willing to go for it when people want to stop you or gossip about your dream?

Are you strong enough to deal with the melt downs along the way?

I did and do it because it feels good to go with my flow. It is really exciting. It is even more exciting when you can turn things around so that you overcome a melt down. The best is the positive feedback. I must admit it is fairly rare in the beginning. When you asked me whether it is worth hard times, critiques and doubts my answer is YES it definitely is worth all the effort. I can talk hours and hours why you should be courageous enough to go for your dreams.

You wonder why? Difficult to describe. There is that rush of an incredible feeling when I succeed. I meet great people when I go for my dreams and live them. I feel  good BEING ME! You can reach that too.

All of this people had lots of critiques in the beginning as shown in Julia & Julie. Search through history, Abraham Lincoln, Walt Disney, Einstein, Coco Chanel, Galileo and many more. As they went through their challenges they found more and more friends, fans, customers along the way. And they proofed all the people wrong who wanted to stop them or thought they know better than this “crazy people”.

In the end the person wins who is committed to the own dreams. That person could be you! Do you have dreams? Are you committed to your dreams? In case you miss dreams or commitment to them then you will most likely end up living the dreams of others. Or you experience melt downs or setbacks.

In either way find out the reason. When you live a dream  of another person, leave it and find your own dream. Find out what you are committed to.

When you experience a melt down or set back learn how to overcome it. My experiences taught me I can accomplish great things and I can overcome set backs. I am feeling a marvellous joy and it feels soooo wonderful when I achieve something great. Throughout my life I met lots of interesting people. Most of them had really hard times in their lives and grew from overcoming them.

Each time they celebrated winning over themselves enjoying the view before they start over to reach the next goal.

In the end you sit there, lean back, shake your head wondering: how have I done this? Or you jump for joy, dance or whatever you like to do when you are filled with joy and excitement.

Joy and excitement are the fuel of your life.

Now go and enjoy finding or living your dream. Spread your joy like confetti as it increases by sharing it.
