This Little Piggy Will Help You Reach Your Dreams – Guest Post by Thea Westra
Have you ever wondered what the difference is between people who follow their dreams and achieve them…
And people who “try” to follow their dreams and end up never getting there?
Believe it or not, this cool little piggy has your answer. 🙂
Don't worry. I'll explain in a moment.
First though, I'll give you the simple & short answer:
Awareness.
That might sound even too simple to be “simply speaking,” so hear me out… 🙂
Those who are successful aren't just taking action. They take the inspired right actions that are in alignment with their inner awareness.
They take forward steps towards their dreams with the understanding of WHY that particular action will help them get to their dreams.
The thing is, self-awareness can be surprisingly deceiving.
How often did we believe we knew what wanted…
Only to later find that we didn't want the very thing we chased?
This happens with money. Happiness. Relationships. Focusing on all the outer objects in the world can distract us from the truth of what we really want.
And the way to find what we really want is to look INSIDE consistently. Not just once or twice. Not just every now and then.
Looking inside develops the awareness we need to take the right steps toward our dreams.
Now you might be wondering what any of this has to do with the subject line of this blog post:
This little 🐖 will help you reach your dreams! (seriously)
I was reading an eBook called “20 Self Exploration Exercises” (it's free and you can grab your copy here), and in it there was a BRILLIANT quick exercise I'd never heard of before.
It was so simple, yet so powerful, and so easy to do, that I absolutely knew I had to share it with you.
Here's the entire exercise (yeah, it's that short):
“Get yourself a jar. Throw in a coin each time you sell out on yourself and your dreams with an excuse. Then when there's enough money in the jar, put it towards having one those things that are not yet in your life because you had excused or reasoned them away.”
Basically it's using our self-awareness to fund an old-school piggy bank. 🙂
That's just one of the exercises in the book. As you can guess from the title, there's 19 more of these gems waiting for you, and they're all designed to help you develop the self-awareness that will catapult you towards your biggest dreams.
