6 Questions To Ask Yourself When Pursuing Your Dreams

What are your dreams? Want to give your vision a jumpstart? Write down your goals and use these questions to speed up the delivery of your dreams.

1. What's your highest priority for your life?

What's most important for you to experience, explore or embrace? Until you answer this question, your life goals will be off purpose and take you in different directions. If your goals aren’t aligned with your inner passion, your intentions will lack the power to attract the people and situations necessary to make them a reality.

Take the time to identify your true joy. What activities did you enjoy as a child? What did you want to be when you were young? What are your hobbies now? When your goals are aligned with your soul, synchronicity kicks in to guide you to your target.

2. Is this your dream, or someone else's?

Are your goals your own choice, or what others think you should strive for? We can often get distracted by what other people are telling us is the best thing for us to do or to achieve.

Do you want to look back when you’re older and wish you had followed your passion? Will you regret having ‘played it safe’?

Whilst some people may try to convince you that it’s selfish to go after your own dreams, you can bring great joy to those around you if you’re living joyfully and purposefully.

3. Are you settling for less than?

Have you resigned yourself to accepting less than your full share of love, health, happiness and success? Have you compromised and sacrificed your dream for trying to make other people happy?

Anything short of living your true passions will never make you truly happy.

4. What will you feel like when you reach your dream?

Personal passion fuels a vision. Dive into the thrill and exhilaration of the feeling of living your dream life. Go around your day feeling and acting as if you’ve already achieved your goals and dreams, and you’re already living your dream life, and watch how the world around you changes to start matching your vision.

5. What steps can you take today to move you closer towards your dreams?

Don't delay your dreams. Set up the resources and systems around you to instantly translate your intentions into action. Jump on every opportunity that is in line with your purpose and vision.

Are there smaller projects that lead to your larger dream? If the dream is to run a marathon, train for a local fun run first.

Do something every day, no matter how small, to move you closer towards achieving your goals and dreams.

In addition, find a way to measure your progress. Keeping a track of your progress will help you to keep your focus and attention on your goals and dreams.

6. Are you telling yourself: "I can't have my dream"?

Do you have limiting beliefs that are preventing you from achieving your goals and living your dream life? People are often told by others what they can’t do or have, which makes them believe that they can’t live their dream lives.

The conditioning we receive as we go through life can make some of us believe that either we can't make a living from doing what we love, or that we don't deserve to live our dream life. To avoid the pain of feeling that they can't have their dream life, some people will keep their dreams buried so deeply that they can't remember they ever had a dream.

Everyone has a dream, and everyone is destined to fulfil their purpose. So why wait any longer? Identify your dreams, set your goals and go after what you want and truly deserve.
