Dream bigger! Has anyone ever told you that? Did you just laugh and walk away? Dreaming is for kids. Right? WRONG! Dreams can and will direct your life. That is how the brain works. Research shows that dreaming is not just a byproduct of sleep, but serves its own important functions in our well-being. Imagine that.
Dreaming is like overnight therapy. Having REM-sleep dreams seems to provide emotional relief. The next morning, your discomfort of reliving even traumatic, emotional situations encountered during the previous day is eased. Somehow, your brain has helped you work through it all without the stress you put on yourself when you are awake.
The anxiety-inducing chemical noradrenaline is only fully absent from our brain during REM sleep. During REM sleep, when we dream, important emotional and memory-related brain areas are reactivated. This indicates that emotional memory reactivation takes place in a brain devoid of a crucial stress hormone, enabling us to digest upsetting memories in a more secure, tranquil atmosphere.
With that said, why not dream bigger? Why not dream about those things you never let yourself think about before? This is a huge universe, and if you work on manifesting your dreams, you will be very surprised at what will come your way—normally at a time you least expect it. When I was asked by my mentors to create a Dream Bigger page, I thought, why would I want to do that? Especially at my age.
Dream Bigger at ANY Age!
Well, I must tell you that I laughed at myself. The question of why I would dream bigger had never occurred to me. The challenge was given and it made me stop and think. It was time to adjust my mindset. Yes, I am a senior citizen and I’ve lived a lot of life. But my life is not over. So why couldn’t I dream and have big dreams like the young-uns? However, the question of why can be much more complicated when you consider your life’s goals. The “why” journey begins.
It has taken me some time to digest this and look into my inner being and soul to find out why I’m here and where I want to go. When you retire, you believe that you are on your way to the golden years. Well, there have not been any golden years here! As the years have passed, I am not finding myself aging well. I’m struggling with all that comes with aging and I don’t like what is happening to me. Yes, I try to eat reasonably. I walk over 2 miles a day. But yet, something is missing.
I discovered on this journey that I didn’t really think I had any dreams. They have been hidden and quiet for a long time. As a woman growing up in the corporate work environment, I was disillusioned over and over again with how women are treated and disrespected. As the years passed with male dominance in the workplace, I lost sight of what dreams are and how they can propel me forward. I was a grown-up and needed to focus on the “real” things – survival as a woman. No dreams allowed.
Finding My Why
I went to work to discover my why – my dream. It wasn’t easy and I’m not sure I’m quite there yet, but giving it my best shot. I’m not a materialistic person. I don’t need the latest fashion – the newest vehicle – the latest gadget that has come on the market. Some may say I’m a simple person. I don’t ask for a lot from those close to me.
What motivates me is helping people and animals. I want to build my business so I can help both. I love animals – people not so much. You can say that I respect the animal kingdom more than humankind. Don’t get me wrong, I enjoy the good conversation and company of another human from time to time. I just don’t agree with all the violence that has appeared in our world today. Violence towards animals and humans. God put us on this earth together. It is our purpose to work together in peace and harmony.
- I want to make a difference in this world and make it a much better place to be.
- I want to have the land and space to help those in need.
- I want to teach others how to be kind to all that exists and mindful of the planet.
What a huge dream! It scared me when I first thought of it. But, as we have been taught, take it one step at a time. One person at a time. One animal at a time.
Working from Home
When I first began here with this work-at-home program, the answer was simple. I had lost my job and didn’t want to work at a “job”. The idea of making some money from home at this point in my life appealed to me. I worked for the “man” since I was 14 and didn’t know any other way. Then I found Rory and Tany Ricord and my life started to change.
The results of all of this work were, in a word, mixed. As a young woman, I made good money. I was certain that I would be set for life. Things were different back then. Because, if you were willing to get up every morning, show up, and do your job, you would be taken care of when the time came to retire. Well, that isn’t the way it happened. At the age of 63, I recreated myself and started my journey working from home.
Why Dream Bigger?
My answer – Why Not? You are alive and breathing. You have a purpose so dream! If you are going to dream – DREAM BIGGER! What is it going to hurt? You just might realize your dream and how would that make you feel?
I hope I have inspired others to do as I did. Step back and take a look at your life. Find what makes you happy. You are meant to live the life of your dreams. What are you waiting for? Start today – one step and one day at a time. You won’t regret it! In fact, you might regret not taking this journey.
