How to take action towards your dreams
Here is one way to start giving back to the world: by taking the small steps that ladder up into a greater vision.
Try This
First, come up with a mental picture in your mind's eye: what does your dream of a better world look like? If it helps, you can draw it out, write down a description, or look for images online to reflect it.
Second, ask yourself: 'What is this dream asking of me in this moment?'
· If you dream of a healthier planet, maybe your next action is researching how to start your own garden.
· If you dream of security and safety, maybe your next action is to donate to a food pantry.
· If you dream of a more loving world, maybe your next action is to check in on a friend who is going through a hard time.
After you've done that action, stop for just a moment. Remind yourself: "Completing that task helped me to take one step closer towards... [my dream.]" Step by step, these actions shrink the space between the present and the future, reeling in a better one world step at a time.
