20 TIME TO LIVE
YOUR DREAMS

HERE ARE SOME VERY SPECIFIC
ACTIONS TO SHOW YOU HOW TO BE FEARLESS.

1 STAY OPEN TO ALL POSSIBILITIES

Let go of outcomes. You may think you want to go right, but life takes you left. So go with
what life presents. Left might be more fun anyway.

2 EMBRACE CHANGE

Even change that appears negative. Change is constant and is part of the evolution of life and
the human experience. Don’t fight it. It will happen anyway, so follow it where it leads you.

3 MAKE PLANS, BUT MAKE THEM LOOSELY
Set goals for yourself and work toward them. But remember, you are staying open to
possibilities and embracing change. Work toward your goal, but watch for signs to recalibrate.

4 WRITE A MISSION STATEMENT

When you apply your values and vision to every decision of your life, you have a road map
that keeps you from veering off in directions that don’t support who you really are or want to
be. Here’s an article on writing a mission statement.

5 FIND MENTORS
Look for people whose lives or work you want to emulate. Watch what they do and how they
do it. Ask for their help and guidance. Recently, a mentor for me in creating my blog and
writing is Mary Jaksch of Goodlife Zen and Write to Done. She started a blog just a couple of
years ago and has now built an amazing business — with integrity.

6 CHALLENGE YOURSELF

Find those areas in your life where you feel fear. For me, it’s public speaking. I still haven’t
done anything about it, but I know it will greatly enhance my life once I face that little demon.
What is it for you? Look those fears in the eye, and accept a little discomfort so you can reap
the great rewards of stepping out of your comfort zone.
