My Slice of Life: Energising Power of Dream

Today My Slice of Life is on topic Dreams...do you still remember your dreams?..

Remember your very first job? That all grown up feeling. Your own money to buy things. The independence.... :=)

Do you still have the excitement today? Do you jump out of bed, eager to start a new day? Or you feel tired, even slightly depressed?

Perhaps you have lost touch with your own special dreams over the years? What is it? Have you thought about your dream lately? Acknowledging it can free you up to remove obstacles.

What's keeping you from your dreams? What would it be? If you want it so badly you could taste it, how could you make it happen?

What could you negotiate for yourself today to pull your dream a litter bit closer? How about making a small deal with yourself? For example, if I devote to write half an hour every night to write, I'll will be able to finish a book in six months.

There is no easy street. Achievers make things happen. The road will be tough, but the rewards will surely be sweet. Be able to say that you've worked to make your dream come true.

Instead of working more hours away from home to make extra money, could you invest in planning and saving for your dream? Do your current activities more your closer to doing what you love to do? Eliminate energy wasters - things that don't move you forward.

And think what kind of spending you can give up if it means finally living your dream. Can you funnel some of your purchases back into your dream? Are you making investment or throwing away money for superficial gains. Trade your current spending for your dream. You will be wonderfully surprised at how much money you will find to make a dream a reality.

My own self thoughts:
Have the kind of lost feeling because I was at a loss in my career, because I have been working hard but I don't get to enjoy the things that I am doing at work. I am actually an account executive by profession, working for other people. In the past, I thought this is the only path that we can go that is study hard, get a good job, then life will be easy...but in reality it is not true. I don't mean to say that job is not good. But doing something that do not fulfill what you really like and enjoy, will kill our souls.

There is why I start to take accountability of my life in search of ways to achieving my dream. You know one of my dream is to traveling around the world, because one of my value is freedom. I don't like the idea of travelling but subject to approval. Because in January, I applied for my leave to Malacca, my boss nearly rejected my leave because he told me it was a peak period, I should not plan my holiday during that time. I was upset but luckily I got my reason to back up for my leave.

Thus, this incident motivates me to think of ways to achieve my passive income and more time flexibility...oh..don't let my boss know..He will be upset if he know this...
