Realization
I have found much gratitude for the ability to have a dream more significant than myself. As a child, I was particular about my likes and dislikes, desires and wishes. My family would say, “The world doesn’t revolve around” me. As an adult, this translated into “you need to be content with where you are and what you have.” Dreams don’t care about contentment, though. They’re not concerned with their size or scalability, the economic foundation in place for its dreamer, a belief system/religion, or the risk of failure. Dreams are numerous; they come upon everyone at some point in their life, more than once. The dreamer has a heavy responsibility for the dream’s progress, but the world I know is concerned with everything a dream isn’t. It is, therefore, rare to see a complete dream’s manifestation.
Realizing one’s part in making a dream a reality is one of the first incredible steps. Those who hear their dream and immediately think, “Yeah, right,” or “Sounds great, but it will never happen,” squash the dream potential immediately. Many people believe this so strongly that they squash the dream’s potential enough that the memory recall changes from “I had a dream…once” to a persistent, “I’ll never have that.” And that’s where the dream goes to die. Realizing that a dream may be achievable with discomfort and that discomfort is not as bad as remaining where you are cannot be understated.
Persistence
Moving forward in dream progression is almost immediately hard. All doubts and roadblocks that have been obvious in discouraging dreaming still exist. My years on the planet tell me there is a way to do almost anything. No, we will not all be professional talents (sports, performance, etc.), but defining how your dream will shape your goals begins to paint a picture of how influential that dream will become. It takes work to set goals at times. Much of my life has been just the next step: the next bedtime with the children, the next paycheck, the following clearance markdown, the next pay raise. Survival is about living and only seeing the next step because that’s the only thing stable enough to rest on. Dreams and dreaming require far more than that, like leisure time. You may not feel that leisure time is a luxury you have. I have felt that way at times, also. I found the next step for my dream out of necessity. My requirements continued to grow and grow. The pressure that my responsibilities applied made me realize I would have to find another way to make life work, or I would burn out and fail at all of it. The journey towards the dream has changed a million times already. I’ve considered pausing at junctures and resolving to be content with where life was, hoping a version of the dream would manifest. I’ve had to go back to the drawing board more times than I can count; maybe the drawing board is a staple, but I’m not sure. Persisting through the hard has been necessary. I continue to persist. I am confident that is a staple of dream manifestation.
Reinvention
Reinvention sounds big. It is inventing again. It is starting over. It is transforming. In reality, this can apply to any situation. A dream of transforming your look into whatever you desire is as transformative as changing your career, moving to your dream city, etc. Dreams come in all shapes and sizes because many dreams constantly swim in our minds. This website focuses on encouraging those who Realize a need for change. To promote our dreams, big or small, and expedite those dreams with actionable products, information, and tips. Little dreams to big dreams, watch us reinvent ourselves together. And we can. Most of this will be DIY. We make the choice. We make the moves. We have the capability inside of us to transform ourselves completely.
I’m no longer the same person I was even four years ago. Of course, much is the same. How I think about myself, what I desire for my family, and the journey to get there completely reinvent how I look at life. When creating this website, the first image auto-generated was of the book “The Secret.” The book cover was familiar, and I remembered it having a lot of traffic and talk in the past, but I had yet to learn what it was about. I still haven’t read the book itself, honestly. But I did find a documentary about it, and, spoiler alert, the secret is belief. It’s not a religious book, but its message is about changing your thoughts and believing that your desire is possible and probable with the right mindset. It makes no promise of ease. It might be a hoax, and it doesn’t work. I have done things I would have never believed I could since I began changing my thoughts about my dream. The journey is never how you plan, and I have yet to arrive at anything significant. I do know that reinvention has happened, is happening. From the smallest fragment of my day to the home, place, and jobs that shape the big picture, reinvention has been a part. I can’t wait to see where it goes.
It seems fitting that this book, I have only seen a documentary of, should be the first affiliate marketing link I create. I have an affiliate account with Amazon, which means I earn from qualifying purchases. The links change nothing about your purchase but may well be the catalyst for my reinvention. Thanks for playing a part.https://amzn.to/3y7Qd5c
