I. WHAT HAPPENED TO YOUR DREAMS?
Part I.
Are You Living Your Dreams?
If the answer is no, then ask yourself "why not"? Life is short. Do you really want to say that you lived a life of unfulfilled dreams? But "hold it!" you say. "I'm waiting for the perfect time" or "I'm waiting for the perfect situation". Or, maybe it's not that you are "waiting" per se, but rather that you are afraid. So, what are you afraid of? Are you afraid of making a mistake? Afraid of making the wrong choice? Are you afraid that you may not be good enough, or that the people around you might laugh at your dreams, or won't support you? Are your fears enough to stop you? And, what happens if you do end up living your dreams? Are you afraid that once you get there then you'll have to live them? Meaning that what you've been talking about for so long will now come to fruition, and still, you might actually be happy? But, when you look back at your life, what do you want it to be about? Do you want to say, "I could have" or "I did"? The choice is yours.

Is Social Networking Really That Important For Your Career? $29.95
The answer is YES. One of the biggest regrets my clients tell me is they have let their networks go. They got busy with their lives, and their jobs, and friendships and important contacts just slipped away.
Now, they are in trouble. They know the best way to get a job or get ahead in their career is through who they know, but they don't know anyone anymore. They feel frustrated and alone.

II. SEVEN STEPS FOR FINDING YOUR DREAMS AGAIN
Part II.
So, How do you move past your fears and live your dreams?
Follow these easy steps:
1. Remember That You Are Worthy Of Your Dreams:
You deserve to live your dreams. Recognizing this is the hardest and most necessary step. Most of us think that only other people get to live their dreams. Only other people are lucky enough, not us. We do not deserve to because of all the bad stuff we have done in our lives. The only thing these thoughts do is keep you from moving forward and being happy.
2. Remember That Your Dreams Are Important:
Once you know how important living your dreams is to your health and mental well being, then you can bring your dreams back into your life. The only way to live your dreams is to make them a priority. Without this focus, they cannot become a reality.
3. Remember That You Forgot Them:
Start by taking out a piece of paper and writing down your dreams. Remember what they were, and how excited you used to be when you thought about them. It might be difficult at first, but once you get started, you dreams will come back to you.
4. Remember To Push Past Fear:
Every time you move past the normal emotion of fear you make yourself stronger for the next obstacle. So next time you feel fearful, gather up your courage and move past it, like a warrior in the battle field. Everyone feels fear, it's what you do when you are afraid that matters.
5. Remember That You Cannot Live Your Dreams Alone:
Part of living your dreams is having someone to share them with. Do you ask for help, or do you handle everything on your own? I bet there are people who want to contribute and help you along the way but you will not let them in. Ask for support and let them in. It's OK to ask for help.
6. Remember That Action Is What Propels You Forward:
Your life is moving forward whether you are working towards your dreams or not. So, wouldn't it be better to take one action each day that will get you closer? It could be as simple as making a phone call, sending an e-mail, or doing some research on the Internet. Dreams are attained in little steps. Why not take some of those steps to move yourself forward today?
7. Remember Not To Give Up:
Perseverance always wins out in the end. You cannot get to the finish line unless you play the game. Hanging tough through the difficult times is what gets you to the goal. So, do not give up!
So, what do you say? You only have one life to live, so it might as well be a life you love.
