Dream Big… because why the hell not?

Vision has been on the front of my mind for days, months, years. Most people ask the same question. “Where do you see yourself in 5 years?”. It’s a legitimate question and creates provoking thoughts but for the most part in my experience this question is often answered with “I don’t know” or “I could be X or Y it all depends if Z happens for me first”.

So what’s happening? Are you driving the car? Or... are you sitting in the back of an uber without giving the person a location or directions and hoping they find your house? It feels that way when we say when I get this next job then I’ll figure it out... or when I finish Grad School or I’ll wait until my big next idea hits me. So why are we waiting and afraid to declare we want something? Because it’s bold, it’s scary, it’s uncomfortable, it’s permanent, there’s a right answer and I have to find it. Who am I to think I deserve X or Y or Z? How the heck am I going to figure out what I want if I don’t know how to get there?

In the personal development world vision isn’t a new concepts but still the question gets asked all the time… why? Because people don’t know. I didn’t know. We are taking risks here and there and feeling like “OK that’s enough for today don’t want to get too crazy”... myself included. What happens is we suffocate any dreaming big because we don’t know how to fan the flame.

I created an exercise for you all to do that will support your vision of dreaming big.

Take all the categories in your life. Family, money, career, relationships, travel, romance…

Write out for each category your vision based on the following prompts (categories on the left and three prompt across top):

1. “Are you kidding me? I never thought that was possible”
2. “I’m excited but I could have done more”
3. “I can’t believe I’ve stayed where I am, I’m so angry”

Next… copy and paste column 1 & 2’s answers to column 2 & 3.
So column “... I’m so angry” is the new “... I could have done more” then create a new “... never thought that was possible”.

Repeat… 




























What we are doing is creating possibility and shoot for the stars and landing on the moon. Living in that possibility and breaking that limiting self belief. By not putting limitations and being upset that your initiation dream is disappointing gives you the power and right to dream big.

Why not?

Give this a try and let me know how it felt!
