The decision to follow your dreams can be a very exciting one but also a nerve-wracking one.

How will you survive financially? Will your loved ones go along with the idea? What happens if it doesn’t work out?

When I was presented with how I would be able to financially support building my own business and live out my dream lifestyle, the answer was a choice I never even thought about before that moment!

That choice was selling my house and just about everything I had worked for over the years, leaving a 20+ year career and venturing way deep into the unknown – which has taught me firsthand how daunting that can feel.

But oddly enough when the decision was presented to me it felt so perfectly comforting. There was no anxiety, no second guessing, no subconscious whispers of doubt and no fear.

Only a feeling of freedom.

That feeling is still with me a few years later. Even with all the struggles that have come along with such massive life changes, I still know in my heart that it was and always will be the best decision I could have made.

When you are following dreams, it’s really you just going after what is meant for you. It’s a tug or a pull toward something more than we can truly understand. In the end though we find out it was just the powers-that-be at work to have us experience what we need to expand and improve our lives.

Here are some experiences that can come out of your decision to jump on board and follow your own pathway to your dream lifestyle:

IT LIGHTS YOU UP

Following your dreams keeps your childish wonder alive – lighting up your soul!

Even though I was living in a great location in Colorado with a comfortable income that I could possibly ride out until I retired, I felt like the life was being sucked out of me.

There wasn't anything getting me excited to get out of bed in the morning anymore. I felt like a robot. Doing the same thing over and over again day in and day out.

Whether it was during the week with work or during the weekends. There just wasn’t a lot of newness. For me, this is soul crushing.

I’m the type of person that likes a little adventure and exploration. Trying and learning new things keeps me interested and feeling alive.

Do you have an idea what I'm talking about?

Well, I'm here to tell you that when you go after your dreams, you feel energized and excited, like a child. I love it when I'm acting giddy and laughing. It's also given me a strong sense of pride and made me feel overwhelmed with joy.

Since I went down the path of living a life outside the norm, my spirit has been lifted and I'm full of anticipation for the next new and exciting thing to come my way each and every day.

I feel ready to go forward with living life to the fullest!

IT GIVES YOU FOCUS

By constantly keeping my dreams in mind, I feel the strength to be able to tackle my day and take on any adversity that might come my way.

Life can throw unanticipated circumstances your way but it’s how you adapt to them that counts. And if you don’t let these circumstances knock you off course, if you stay focused on your goals, you become refined.

By refined, I'm talking about gaining clarity. The more you think about the ideal life you'd like to live, the more you see how to create that for yourself.

It's like the pathway starts to become clearer and clearer and the actions you need to take toward making it happen are revealed.

I don't know about you, but when I'm not focused, I find myself looking back at days, weeks or even sometimes months and think "what did I actually accomplish?" It gives me that scary feeling that life is passing me by and I have nothing to show for it.

Have you ever had that feeling?

Then I realized if there aren't any stepping-stones or building blocks for me to follow, how do I even know if I'm actually going in the direction I want to go in?

That's when I take a step back, think of where I want to end up and find the immediate actions to take. I make sure daily and weekly targets are what I accomplish and before you know it, the goal is met.

By staying focused on progressing toward what I really want in life, I never tire, get stressed or feel bored.

It's the constant and consistent actions that crumble the obstacles that could slow or even stop the process. Having this laser focus, setting goals and taking action toward it is the key to gaining success!

IT FULFILLS A BIGGER PLAN

By following your righteous desires, you become a part of a bigger plan.

When that tug in your heart or that voice in your head keeps asking you to do something and it never stops, no matter what, that’s when you know it’s a part of something so much bigger.

You may have no blessed idea what that plan is and it might be something you never thought of doing ever before, but that’s especially when you know it’s a piece of a much bigger puzzle that will reveal itself later.

When I had the notion to start a business of my own, I remember a friend asking me what my business was going to be and I had no answer for him at all. I just knew that it was something I could do and had to do.

It wasn't until years later that one of a dozen ideas came to me at just the right time. A time when everything was in place for me to take that step.

What the business was didn't really matter. It only mattered that I took that first step.

Since then, my life has been on hyper-drive. I've had success and failures. My self-growth has been huge and the wisdom I've gained has exceeded all expectations.

I have landed in a place that feels like home. This place has so much room for me to grow. I'm constantly learning new things about business and personal development.

Life's definitely not robotic anymore.

Following your dreams just makes sure you reach your full potential.

It brings you back to life and takes you down a glorious path. You'll gain insight you never thought you would, and you'll find out things about yourself you never thought possible.

You'll fill that piece of the puzzle meant just for you and become a part of something that will light your soul.

I can’t wait for you to join me in living life to the fullest!
