Do you want to lose 50 lbs? Or live in a mansion? Never worry about finances again? We all have our dreams, the problem is that sometimes they are so grand that they get in the way of our goals. One of my dreams is to become an author, to write about my passion, which is helping people improve their health. I’ve been laboring to write a book for over 6 months, now I’ve just started. Looking back, I think my dream got in the way of my goal, that is, rather than gabbing the ‘low-lying fruit’, I was shooting for the stars. Sometimes our dreams are on such a grand scale that we neglect the work in the trenches needed to get there. That’s why I created this blog, and am writing a newsletter and some articles to submit to magazines/newspapers. A goal first, to get to my dream.
If you want better health, why not start with a small workout program, or yoga, qi gong, tai chi, etc. Instead of wanting to lose 50 lbs., why not start with 5lbs? Let your goal lead you to your dream.
