This is The Year I …

Posted on Jan 25, 2012 in Personal

get to make all my dreams come true. At least, the dreams that count anyway. There are others that can wait a while. They’re not so high on my priority dream list but as the top ones get done and dusted the others will see their day.

I don’t know how come I’ve never made the push before to actually make my dreams come true. Maybe I didn’t think my dreams were as important as other people’s? Or maybe I didn’t really believe I deserved to have them come true. Or maybe I was just too damn lazy to do what needed doing!

Cos that’s the thing with dreams. They don’t come true all by themselves. You have to help them along a little. And not by chanting some nonsensical mantra for 15 minutes every day. If you think that’s going to help you then think again petal. It ain’t. But maybe you like dreaming your dreams more than living them. Who am I to argue?

I can’t remember the last time I was so looking forward to the year ahead. My life has been a bit of a mess (ok, who am I trying to kid? It’s been a helluva big mess) for years now. Even the people who’ve shared it with me can’t believe half the stuff that’s actually happened. But finally I can see a light at the end of the tunnel and I’m not convinced it’s just another train coming at me from the other direction.

And the moral of this little story?

Get off your arse and start making your own dreams come true. Make this the year you start living your dreams instead of just dreaming them. You don’t have to live them all at once. One at a time, slow and easy.

The only one standing in the way of making your dreams come true is you. So move.
