Ever had a dream? Not like a sleep at night kinda dream but a hope around one particular aspect of your life. Discovering various stages in the pursuit of a dream comes in varying forms and is as exciting as the dream itself. That pursuit is stressful. It's hard. It's rewarding. And, a piece of metaphorical chalk could help along the way.
I've written before about the liberation once you've realised your dream. The personal triumph it takes to say it out loud and even tell your friends that this is what you want. Big first step thats for sure! Mark it down with a piece of metaphorical chalk on the ground and start moving. Things move quickly, filled with confidence and new found mental freedom the steps become strides and sometimes John Travolta struts. Momentum builds as you start to uncover the path to your dream, the obstacles disappear quickly and soon enough you look back and you can't see that line you drew because you've come so far so quickly.
Now, standing so far away from the line it's easy to think it may not be there, that chalk on the ground faded or got covered up with new memories. It's still there and it's worth going back to take a look at. Go back over that line and rejoice in that milestone. It's important to build future faith in your abilities and that comes from reflection on past achievements. So thats cool, you had a look and got some confidence back. You now remember what you were strutting towards. Mark that point down. It's a milestone too, you've just learnt that even if you lose sight of your achievements it doesn't mean you've lost your strut.
Back on the path to dream realisation and sometimes the fear of failure starts to set in. You suddenly retreat to a slow walk again as you cautiously navigate your next steps. Self doubt is inherent and an important part of the process that must be addressed. Get that metaphorical chalk out, you are going to need it to get through this one. These are small steps as the inner battles are driven by the nearing of reality. It is just quite possible that this dream could come true and the fear of losing it to the world is over whelming. It's your dream and if it comes true it means its out of your head and real. That will result in others knowing about it and the risk of it not being yours anymore is scary. Like getting to the end of a book and wondering what your going to do next after going on an emotional roller coaster for the past few hundred pages. This is what you wanted, this dream exists to be shared. This dream was never only yours, they exist so others can enjoy them also. If they are not for others benefit than they are just goals, and goals are common. Dreams, dreams are one of a kind. This is the scary awesome fun part. Mark a line here because this will be the last one. Sorry John Travolta no chalk necessary from here on in we are only strutting! Taking it to the world was what it was meant for and it's the unknown we are in search of. We already know what life is like with them inside, we dream them, we pursue them, we strut with them and then we release them to find out why it is they came to us.
And once the dream is out, get a new piece of chalk. It's time to start over with a new one.
