Dream dream dream
Here’s an idea.
The bucketlist brainstorm.
- First, grab a hot drink and get comfy
- Get a large piece of paper and some sharpies or felt tip pins
- Start doodling — lines, shapes, anything — this is your warm up
- Now draw out 3–5 dreams of yours, big and small.
e.g
🌌 See the Northern Lights
🍷 Start your own winery
🌴 Build a retreat centre
🎸 Start a rock band and tour the world
☮️ Become a peace activist
… whatever comes to mind. There are no limits. Be bold. Don’t think ‘yeah but how’.
Maybe you’ll get inspired to combine them.
(And build a unique retreat centre-come-winery, led by a rock-loving, peace activist ✌🏻)
Now look back and ask yourself
- What’s underneath each dream?
- What is it telling me?
- What underlying needs am I trying to meet?
e.g
🌌 Adventure. Inspiration.
🍷 Creativity. Autonomy.
🌴 Learning. Community.
🎸 Fun. Harmony.
🌌 Contribution. Impact.
So many of us set realistic goals. But we don’t dream enough.
It’s important we play with possibility. And keep dreaming. Whatever our age.
Excitement and anticipation make us feel alive.
Next weekend 150 of us at our annual Summercamp will dream together.
The theme this year is imagination.
It’s what makes us human.
Even if our dreams don’t happen, we might learn something about ourselves..
Our dreams give us clues.
Clues about what might be calling us for the next chapter in our lives.
Shoot for the moon and all that.
We’re lucky that our dreams have grown as we’ve grown.
We didn’t set out to create a global community of entrepreneurs, it happened by dreaming of a happier, more connected world.
And amazingly others followed.
Our lives are so much richer as a result.
What dream of yours might rally others?
