Wow it seems like August came in and the energy just took off right away! I am a little behind in my Dreamer Highlight post, but I wanted to make sure to leave a little inspiration for you for the rest of the week ahead.
This week’s Dreamer Highlight does not include any links, but my hope is that the story tells it all. D. Speller is a dear friend of mine from college who has inspired me in so many ways over the years. Not only was he an outgoing, courageous, fly by the seat of his pants-type of guy in college, but he never once backed away from an adventure or experience that may add value and meaning to his life.
After graduating from college, he moved to Chicago to live the city life for a few years and to save some money in order to fulfill his ultimate dream of traveling around the world. I never doubted that he would do so, but I never imagined he would set out on an adventure like the one he has had over the years. When he left Chicago, he set out for South America, (Santiago, Chile )to be exact and as I lived vicariously through him, I couldn’t help but wonder where he got the courage and the passion to make his trek all over the world. Traveling to Chicago, South America, Spain, and now to Australia he has become a trailblazer following his heart every step of the way.
Never once asking how he was going to do it, or where he would stay or who he would meet, he trusted his intuition and desire for adventure. He is doing what many people only dream of and his story is an inspiration for us all to follow our hearts.
When we have a desire or a passion that burns within us, we often find ourselves questioning how to do it. Where do we start? What if we fail? What do we need to do to get started?
Some don’t even get that far as they instead put it off for another week, month, or year when they have more money, more knowledge, more inspiration, and more excuses.
Sometimes it is enough to say, “Yes I want to do this, and I WILL.” Setting the intention is sometimes all you need to set the wheels in motion for all the other pieces to fall into place.
What dream have you been putting off for another day? There is no day like the present to get started.
