This 10 minute closed-eye meditation is to be either an extension of the I Have Dreams Dammit! Podcast, "What Inspires You?" episode 12, or as a stand-alone meditation.
I Have Dreams Dammit! is a podcast where I share the lessons I've learned in the battlefields of the creative journey. If you are pursuing a dream - or living your dream - and you have come up against some massive obstacles - both in the world and inside of yourself - good, that's the purpose! I truly believe that if you have something screaming inside of you, something that you must do, be, or create, then that is something you must pursue. Like in the book, The Alchemist, it is your Personal Legend.
“To realize one's Personal Legend is a person's only real obligation.” - The Alchemist
"Life is either a daring adventure or nothing at all."
- Helen Keller
"Ships are safe in the harbor but that's not what ships were built for" - unknown
Profound and tragic personal loss almost took me out of the game of life, but I survived. Part of the reason I survived (I believe) is so that I can share with you the deeper lessons that I have learned (and what I continue to learn) on the path towards manifesting my dreams. I am bringing my Elixir to you, my fellow dreamer. I will also be interviewing my professional artist & creative entrepreneur friends to gain a deeper insight into what it took for them to act on that inner creative calling.
Whatever happens, #keepgoing.
Is the opposite of burnout, balance? Or is it connection? Maybe it's both. And maybe the "balance" is about perspective - our perspective from which we observe whether we are in balance or not. What does "balance" mean to you? LISTEN NOW

Is it possible that you get sick or get into emergencies on a subconscious level to get attention and support from some people in your life?

The reality of living your dream will be very different than the dream that was in your mind. But that's not a bad thing. The reality of the dream can be BETTER than the dreamed dream!
