7 Ways To Follow Your Bliss & Pursue Your Dreams

Have you ever awakened one day and realized that, although your life is going pretty well, there's just one thing tugging at you? Something inside is telling you that something isn't quite "right" in your life. Or maybe it feels more like something's missing.

Perhaps those feelings are trying to let you know you haven't been pursuing your dreams. For many, dreams about the future started when they were youngsters.

You might've grown to admire your uncle who's a great golfer and wanted to try golfing to emulate him. Or maybe you do golf but there's that one golf course in Europe that you really want to play.

It could be that your 8th grade English teacher, whom you loved, always told you what a great writer you were. But after high school, you've hardly written even a short story. You always thought you'd get back to writing, but just haven't taken the time or effort.

It's time to pursue your dreams!

Review these seven tips about following your bliss. You might realize that - YES! - you can go after your special goals while living your life and "taking care of business."

1. Ask yourself, "Is there something I've wanted to do for a long time?" If so, what is it?

Well, what is it: ____________________.

2. Write down your goals for the future. Obtain a spiral notebook and devote it to your dreams.

• Take your Dream Notebook and pen to the park or front porch. Then, ponder your dream. Write everything that comes to mind. Record your dreams on a small bit of paper and affix them to your bathroom mirror¨
• Each day, when you see that message to yourself about what you want to do, it will inspire you.

What are a few of your top goals and dreams: ____________________.

3. Pledge to do just one thing each day or week to chase after your dream goal. Maintain your momentum toward following your bliss.

• Make your dreams a priority in life.
• Avoid allowing anyone or anything to get in the way of pursuing your dreams.
• Who knows what can happen when you "keep your eyes on the prize?"¨

Have you made the pledge: YES / NO ?

4. It's rare to accomplish dreams in a short period of time. Accept that you'll be following your most cherished wishes for the long haul.

Do you promise to yourself that you are in for the long-haul: YES / NO ?

5. Think about ways to divide your path to your dreams into "chunks." For example, if you've always wanted to travel to France to see the Eiffel Tower, you could separate your dreams into sections like:

• Read everything you can about France and the Eiffel Tower.
• Explore the subjects on the web.
• Become an "expert" about the topics of your dreams.
• Even though you might struggle financially to make ends meet, set up a separate bank account for your "dream" trip to Europe and make regular deposits (at least monthly), no matter how small.
• Regardless of what your dreams are, think of a way to move toward them somehow.
• Vow to keep your momentum going so you can achieve your dreams.

How will you divide your path to your dreams: ____________________.

6. It's okay to re-vamp or even totally overhaul your dreams. You can let go of a dream you had for a while if you discover you really aren't interested in that goal anymore.

• As you grow and mature, it's not unusual to develop new interests and dreams.
• You can feel comfortable transitioning into a new goal to pursue.
• Give yourself permission to let go of an old dream, alter it, or even add a new goal.

Do you need to re-vamp your dreams: YES / NO ?

7. Avoid thinking of your dreams as impossible for you to accomplish. Dreams keep you moving forward in life.

• Tell yourself it's entirely within the realm of your life to pursue and fulfill your dreams.
• You truly deserve to have goals and dreams, no matter what your situation.

Do you believe you can accomplish your dreams and that you deserve it: YES / NO ?

Following your bliss will enrich your life in so many ways. Allow yourself the opportunity to fulfill your special goals in life. Pursue your dreams because you're worth it.
