Intention is a funny thing.  I heard once, ” a dream is a wish your heart makes. “.  It starts as a thought , something  you hear or see , and it resonates so intensely that a fire begins to burn inside you . That spirit within speaks something special and unique to your heart. Your intuition begins to stir . You start to dream out every detail.  It brings you so much joy to think about,  and when you take the steps of action to achieve it , it falls right into your hands.    What a beautiful and special feeling.    I personally think that this is what it is like to know you are on your path of purpose.

Here are 6 very helpful thoughts/tools that can be utilized to enhance and accelerate any “dreams” that you want to become tangible.

1.Dream in Detail

A journal is an extremely helpful way  to track goals .  Sit down and write out in detail what this “dream” looks like .  Every ,single , detail.   What do you need to get started?  What do you need to succeed?    Who do you have by your side? Not only those things, But do the actions you need to take bring you happiness and fulfillment?  What do you expect to get out of reaching your goal ? Why did it resonate with you in the first place ?  Sometimes the “WHY” can be the biggest catalyst to success.

2.Does it bring you joy?

We often times get so caught up looking toward the finish line, that we forget to enjoy running the race.  I have read many times over that when you are aligned with your purpose it brings you joy.  Take a second to look at your dreams and evaluate how much joy you feel while taking the steps needed to achieve them..

3.Take Action!

Break things down into little steps . Start right away .  You don’t have to have everything figured out.  It doesn’t need to be perfect.  Don’t wait on your dreams.  No matter how small it seems, do something every day to achieve what you want.  It is nice to sit around and look at our goals, but if action is absent, most times , goals are not achieved .

4.Are your Goals in-line with your Purpose?

Often times in life we hit those roadblocks.  Situations come to pass that make us think twice.  These are great indicators you are not in-line with your purpose.  My Granny always says ” Jenny Glenn ( that’s what she calls me ) , you know it’s right when you get all the green lights.”  I think she is onto something there.  If your truest intentions are bringing you joy and everything is going your way ,or perhaps even better than you planned , then you can rest assured you are on the right track.  When you hit roadblocks, stop signs, and construction, you may want to re-evaluate the next steps in your journey.  This is a great time to look back at your journal .

5.What Story are you Telling Yourself?

Our brains are wired for a story. Blueprints are very strong.  Many of us have been taught things that we carry with us our entire lives.  In the times of trouble or doubt, always re-evaluate the story you are telling yourself .  Is it a story someone told you a long time ago that you decided was truth?  Can you change your thinking?  Open your mind to explore other possibilities that are in-line with your purpose. Break through barriers that have been set for you in the past .  You can build off the wisdom of others while making “your story”,  your very own.

6.Model after Someone who is Successful

Ever heard the saying “watch the company you keep.” ?  It’s an oldie but goodie.  Surround yourself with like-minded people . When you are focused on a goal , it is always helpful to look at those who have gone before you.  How did they get started?  What steps did they take?  What resonates with you that they’ve done ?  How could you easily put twists to it and make those practices your own?   This can also be  a helpful tool to avoid any of those roadblocks or accidents . You see the mistakes of others, learn and grow from their experiences without having to go through it yourself.  Before you know it YOU are the one inspiring someone else , and the cycle begins again.

In closing :     Your dreams are precious.  Especially if the intention is to be in-line with your purpose.  So dream in detail,  light a fire in your soul,  keep your eyes open to what resonates with you, live joyfully through your purpose, know the story you are telling yourself,  re-assess your goals often , spread the knowledge of truth to like-minded individuals,  and most importantly , don’t ever let anyone else write your story.
