When we were young, it seemed to take forever for things to happen. We would wait and wait for Christmas to come around, or for our birthdays to arrive. We would count the days until summer break. But as we age, time seems to speed up. A year zips by in a blink, we can go years without seeing certain friends, and our kids go from diapers to graduation in no time at all. If there’s anything we can learn from this quick passage of time, it’s that we might as well live life to the fullest, and that means dreaming big.

To me, dreaming big embodies two of the concepts I’ve occasionally discussed in this blog: Purpose and Hope. These are two of the three pillars (along with Security) that make up Self-Wealth. I’ve observed (through my own experience and working with dozens and dozens of clients), if all three pillars are present in your life, you will thrive.

How Dreaming Big Relates to Purpose

Purpose and dreaming big are naturally complimentary to each other. When you have a clear sense of purpose, it fuels your dreams and gives you direction. Dreaming big allows you to envision what is possible in your personal and professional life, and it motivates you to pursue your purpose with determination.

I believe that one of the most important areas to live out your purpose is through your work (which may also include homemaking and raising children). When your work aligns with your purpose, you find fulfillment and joy in what you do every day. This alignment brings a sense of meaning to your life, making your efforts feel purposeful and impactful. It creates a positive cycle where your purpose fuels your dreams, and your dreams, in turn, inspire you to pursue your purpose wholeheartedly.

Many of us spend much of our lives engaged in work, so why not love what you do? If you’re currently discontent with your work, I challenge you to explore what brings you joy and fulfillment. Dream big and dare to pursue a career or activities that align with your purpose.

How Dreaming Big Relates to Hope

Behind every dream, there must be hope. This includes hope for a brighter future, for your needs and wants to be satisfied, and for your dreams to come to fruition. Hope is what drives you to keep dreaming big and working towards achieving your goals. It acts as a beacon of light in times of darkness, guiding you through challenges and setbacks.

Hope also enables you to stay resilient and optimistic, even when faced with obstacles. If you experience any setbacks or adversity on your way to achieving your goals, hope can be a driving force to help you stay on track and keep going.

Embrace the idea that life is full of possibilities and that with dedication and a positive mindset, you can turn your big dreams into reality. Allow hope to be the guiding force that propels you towards the life you envision for yourself.

This month, I encourage you to allow yourself to be driven by the belief that your dreams can be transformed into reality. Embrace the potential for growth and change, knowing that with persistence and a positive outlook, you can achieve the life you desire. With the powerful duo of purpose and hope guiding you, you’ll be well on your way to obtaining personal Self-Wealth.
