We all have at least one – that elusive dream life/job/mate/trip/shiny object… So why is it very few actually ever achieve their dream?

Have you ever heard the saying “We are our own worst enemy”? There is a reason someone said that once and it is because we are.

We have these great ideas, these dreams, but we are the first person in line to talk ourselves out of why we can’t possibly, really, actually live our dreams. So we occupy ourselves with busy work, we believe the excuses we create and we choose to invest our time in things that will give immediate comfort with the smallest amount of effort. Why? Because we think it is easier. But is it really?

Surprisingly, no! Some of us are conscious of this. Perception is key and our choices are everything. Some of us have stopped making excuses and have chosen to spend our time making our dreams a reality because at the end of the day, the way we spend our time is up to us. We have the awesome power to choose what to do with our time; by being conscious of this and making good choices, you can achieve your dreams!
