My dream isn’t realistic, now what?
Question:
So if you flip flop back and forth and can’t seem to narrow it down exactly, then what? Just keep up with narrowing it down over and over? Does a light bulb ever pop up and you say WOW THAT’S IT? I have a problem seeing what I want to be realistic….
Answer:
Wonderful question, truly. Thanks for asking it.
Typically, yes, a light bulb will go off and you’ll know you’ve hit pay dirt ‘cuz it will feel right. You’ll get excited, feel like you’ve come home. Like this is where you belong. You’ll get that sense of knowing that defies explanation.
To get there tho’, you must ditch the word “realistic”.
Poof, gone, outta here.
Honestly. Get rid of that word. It has absolutely no place when you’re defining YOUR Kick-Butt Life.
Now that the word “realistic” is gone…what do you want?
What do you dream of? What would you be doing if that word wasn’t around?
In my experience, THAT is the thing that totally jazzes you up and gets your toes tingling. Yes?
Get totally involved with IT being in your life…get all your Beingness involved in IT. Feel IT. See IT. Taste IT. Smell IT. Experience IT.
IT may not show up immediately or may take some planning. AND that comes after getting yourself totally wrapped up in IT being part of your life.
Once you get clear on what IT feels like, deep down in your bones, then ACT. Find something that takes you toward IT, no matter how tiny you perceive the step to be.
I would love to say I can guarantee that simply feeling what you want means IT drops automagically into your life. Poof. IT’s here.
Oh if only that were the way things worked!
I CAN guarantee these things:
- IT isn’t possible if you focus on IT being realistic.
- IT isn’t possible if you don’t get clear and take ACTION toward your dream.
- IT isn’t possible if you don’t open yourself to all the signs, large and small, that show up once you get clear and drop your expectations of where IT comes from or when IT arrives in your life.
Give this a try: give yourself a vacation from being realistic and see what happens next! Whatcha got to lose?
To a life igKnighted by passionately powerful possibilities!

This put a big smile on my face. A kick-butt life is possible, it is achievable, it is mine! Who cares about what is realistic to you or me or anyone else. I want it and I’m going for it!
Follow your passion – I”m following mine.

Thanks MamaRed- great post. And what people forget sometimes is that it’s not the destination (end result from dreams) but rather the journey that is the most important. So your dreams can be as huge as you want, but it’s the journey to get there that you need to be enjoying! So, enjoy the journey!
you are so right. when you set realistic aside, IT does become possible.
You’re most welcome Candace! And you’re absolutely right…it is the journey and it is sooooooooo easy to get wrapped up in the “end” point that the journey becomes drudgery and difficulties (guilty!). So enjoy the journey because that is an essential component of a Kick-Butt Life (at least in my opinion).
Have an amazing day darlin’!
Oh goodie Susan, I brought a smile to your face! That rocks. And follow it girl, follow it! The gift you give yourself and the world is beyond description. Sending along big hugs and lots of love.
Hey PixieMama…yes ma’m….so true. And “realistic” is, in my experience, rarely what gets us jazzed up and willing to walk through fire, overcome obstacles and stay the course when things get challenging or we get worn out!
Big hugs and lots of love to you.
