What’s on my mind today is dreams. Some people have little dreams, some people have massive dreams, and some people don’t even know what to dream for. I believe in the law of attraction, and I believe that positive thoughts and positive thinking can make those big dreams a reality. Of course, you have to have the “WHY.” If you have a “why” to your dreams, the “how” is merely a formality. WHY do you do what you do? There are many reasons people do certain things, whether it’s in their career, health, relationship, family, etc. But when you know the “why” of something, the “how” can come to fruition.
Take your health, for example. EVERYONE knows the “how” for healthy living. Everyone knows you should exercise and eat healthy. But it’s the “why” that people often forget about. WHY should healthy living be important? I encourage you to think about your “why” and make it visual. Maybe you want to finish a race, maybe you want to spend more active time with your kids, maybe you want to simply look or feel good. But until you identify your “why”, I believe the “how” becomes much more difficult. Why people make the choices they make, for good or bad, is a fascinating thing.
What’s been on my mind lately is why I do the things I do. Why did I leave the profession of teaching? Why am I such a passionate person? Why do I care about people unconditionally? Why do I take care of other people’s needs and then my own? I know some of the major answers are that I have a strong desire to be happy, which I wasn’t teaching. I know I have passion because it’s the only way to live life. I know I care about people unconditionally because everyone deserves to be in a nonjudgmental setting. I think one of the greatest feelings in life is to know, deep down, that someone loves you 100% unconditionally, and I wish that for each and every person.
To accomplish great things, we must not only act,
but also dream; Not only plan, but also believe.

No person ever has the right to rain on your dreams.

Unconditional love is the most noble gift one human can bestow on another

If you don’t know the “why” of the things you do, I encourage you to take some time to reflect on it. Maybe it will give your life some clarity. Maybe that isn’t your thing in the first place. However, I know, for me, when I focus on the “why” of something, the “how” becomes much less important. Just something to think about… Stay strong.
