Family, friends, colleagues, partner, sons,... they all seem to demand my time and attention. Sometimes it becomes easy to lose track going from one place to another, trying to meet all their expectations, doing whatever it takes to be on good terms with everybody.15-minute appointments, runing from one place to another, always looking at the watch... at other people's watch.
And... what happened with my dreams? where did they go? The answer is simple, "I postponed them".
This death penalty that we adjudge, conscious or unconciously, leads us to a state of unhappiness and dissatisfaction. To others, we are always the "good boys"..."such a nice guy!"..."always smiling"... and in reality we are hiding our feelings of anger, fear, desperation... to get their approval.
How can we get out of this vicious circle?
Today I will go to bed thinking that tomorrow is a very especial day. I will wake up and sit at my desk, first thing in the morning, with a watch, a couple of blank sheets, and a pen. I will write for 5 minutes all these dreams that I keep in my heart, waiting to catch my attention and love. Five minutes. Neither one nor ten, only 5 minues. What it is not written, it does not exist. Today is Christmas time. I will write my wish letter.
Next, I will order my dreams in three stages: to be fulfilled in one, five or ten years time. I will hang the ordered dream list on my bedroom door, or wherever I can see it every day. And every single day, when I wake up, the first thing I will do is to dedicate TEN minutes of my precious time to pay attention to my dreams, and live them in my mind as if they were already real... feeling that wonderful trip I always wanted to do, feeling living in the house of my dreams with my loved ones
Do you dare to do it? I guarantee that your life will change completely... in only 10 minutes. Life is about taking decisions. What have you decided?
