A Hearts Desire, A Dream
Within each of us is a dream – a heart’s desire.
For some, it’s a professional or a career goal; for others, it’s a relationship or a family. It might be a political or social desire, or it may be a religious or spiritual one.
Unfortunately, many people are not pursuing their heart’s desire. Some are so far away from living their dream that they have forgotten what their dream truly is.
The good news is that with every dream comes the time and the ability to fulfill it. The bad news? Many people use that time and ability doing something else – something that often has little or nothing to do with their dream.
Why? What’s keeping us from fulfilling our heart’s desire? Why aren’t we living our dreams?
Our comfort zone.
Our comfort zone includes all the things we’ve done often enough to feel comfortable doing. Any behavior outside our comfort zone can result in fear, guilt, unworthiness, hurt feelings, anger, and discouragement – you know: discomfort.
Alas, to accomplish something new requires new behavior, and new behavior by its very definition lies outside the confines of the comfort zone.
So, do we honor our comfort zone, or do we honor our dream? The choice is ours.
As Woody Allen said, “Eighty percent of success is showing up.”
And J. Paul Getty agreed: “Rise early. Work late. Strike oil.”
I just read this book, and you should read it too! Begin your journey back to your dreams.
