248: How Dreams Get Delivered To You

Published: June 28, 2018, 8 a.m.

b'Today I\\u2019m in Phoenix for the last stop of my book tour, but I recently decided that I may attempt another round later this year because I\\u2019m having so much fun with them. Sure, we talk about some pretty serious stuff, but we get to laugh with each other while we do it \\u2013 and that is SO fantastic! It\\u2019s so gratifying to see another dream of mine come true. And if you\\u2019ve been following me for a while, you know this dream didn\\u2019t happen overnight.\\n \\xa0\\n Speaking of which, while going through some of my social media posts the other day so I could get a feel what\\u2019s resonating most with people lately, I found a post about dreams that hit a major chord.\\n \\xa0\\n \\u201cWhen you ask for something, when you really want something, you gotta know that it\\u2019s not getting delivered in its final form. It\\u2019s like going to IKEA, picking out your favorite kitchen and furniture to fill your house and saying, \\u201cYeah, that\\u2019s pretty! I love it! I want it! I\\u2019ll take that!\\u201d Then going home to a pile of confusing parts you have to put together yourself only to realize you don\\u2019t own any tools and your dog ate the instructions. Yup, that\\u2019s how your dreams get delivered \\u2013 they show up one day at your door as a pile of lessons that you do not yet have the skills or tools to navigate. That pile of lessons, tough relationships and lack of skills serve as your opportunity to figure out how to be resourceful and become the person who can handle building and maintaining the dream. Yup, I have a love-hate relationship with IKEA and building my dreams, but I sure enjoy who I\\u2019ve become as a result of figuring out the messes and overwhelm when I realize it\\u2019s all gonna be beautiful on the other side.\\u201d\\n \\xa0\\n Dreams don\\u2019t just magically appear \\u2013 as much as we wish they did. It\\u2019s about getting resourceful and finding others who can help you toward them.\\n \\xa0\\n \\u201cThe only thing you need to do is take the action.\\u201d\\n \\xa0\\n You don\\u2019t have to have all the answers right away. You don\\u2019t have to be \\u201cready.\\u201d But when you\\u2019re shooting for your dreams you\\u2019re also going to be in a constant state of testing and figuring out what works\\u2026and what doesn\\u2019t. It\\u2019s not going to feel good all the time and you may feel a little crazy at times, but that\\u2019s not a bad thing. Experiencing the bad helps us appreciate the success that much more.\\n \\xa0\\n So support your dream. For me, I love my podcast. I love talking with other amazing humans and learning new things. However, I don\\u2019t love the scheduling, editing, posting, and that\\u2019s why I have an incredible team that helps me with it. So if you\\u2019re saying, \\u201cI love this, but not this,\\u201d find a way to change your perspective about your dream. How is this not-so-fun part helping you achieve your dream?\\n \\xa0\\n \\u201cBe willing to feel lost on a daily basis. Security is not real.\\u201d\\n \\xa0\\n You\\u2019re never going to feel ready, but keep reframing, changing your perspective and never give up. Me personally?\\n \\xa0\\n \\u201cI don\\u2019t stop until I create what I wish existed.\\u201d\\n \\xa0\\n Just go with it! Take action (big or small) and make your wildest dreams come true!\\n --\\n In This Episode Lori talks about:\\n \\xa0\\n What dreams look like when they\\u2019re delivered\\n How to support your dreams (get resourceful)\\n Taking action before you\\u2019re ready\\n \\xa0\\n Resources:\\n \\xa0\\n Go to ATribeCalledBliss.com to find out the latest on Lori\\u2019s book tour and join the world\\u2019s biggest tribe book club\\n \\xa0\\n A Tribe Called Bliss by Lori Harder\\n Now available at loriharder.com/amazon or ATribeCalledBliss.com\\n \\xa0\\n Join me on the A Tribe Called Bliss Facebook Page: https://www.facebook.com/groups/1571018952966750/\\xa0\\n \\xa0\\n Check out my website at loriharder.com.
