What a great article! I am in the process of just now embarking on my dream of writing and speaking. Originally, I was living this new journey quietly, "in case it didn't work out." However, I quickly discovered that part of really going for it, is sharing that you are going for it! While I was concerned others might dismiss my efforts, my experience has been the opposite. People are inspired by my goals. Your advice of saying your dreams out loud is dead on! Thank you for sharing it! Stephanie Baffones last blog post..My World Feels a Bit Out of Order... Oh, and Eggs

Thanks for this interesting read. I have a problem of a lack of focus. I blame the world. Honestly, who decided that there should be just so many interesting and wonderful things out there for us to enjoy? Because of this, I'm just not sure what my dream is yet. I would also love to be a philanthropist, especially in the desperate circumstances of people who just need fresh water, education, and of course, food. It's obviously hard not to be. That said, I'd like to start-up and run a successful business which interests me. Not selling pop-tarts for breakfast, but something which helps the world. I need more focus so that my dreams are not so much of everything, but something in particular. This is my journey! Cheers, Tristan.

Love this post! I think talking about your dreams is absolutely the best way to make them happen. Think, and talk as though you already are living the dream. That's the law of attraction right there! I have found that when I discuss my hopes and dreams with others the universe usually lines up a lot quicker. Thanks for the read as always! Ambers last blog post..My New Theme Song(s)…

Hi Mary,

I love the picture of the waterfall. I can relate to your experience in Morroco. I think what prevents people from going after their wildest dream is fear that the dream will not come true.

I think people like to play it safe and they want a definite outcome. Sometimes with following our wildest dream we have no idea where the journey will take us but that is part of the fun too. Life is short and there is no need to waste it by being miserable. Good for you for encouraging people to go for it! You go, girl!

Great post - although of course sometimes people have trouble identifying their wildest dream or true purpose. The post linked to here might help with that. Seamus Anthonys last blog post..How To Find Your True Life Purpose (And Make It Pay)

Hi Mary,

My first post here. Congratulations! So great to see you taking the first (and often hardest) step. I have a philanthropic dream too. I want to build a number of profitable businesses that all give part of their profits to a foundation that performs random acts of aid. I know how you feel about putting it out there. I did the same on my blog too and it was a tad scary! Good on you!

My dream is to inspire and coach others through my writing, to support the world’s doe-ers, nurturers, connectors and philanthropists, like a big pass it forward scheme. Some people are born to offer quiet, steadfast support, to give all dreamers their chance.

You’ve already taken steps to make your dream happen, Mary. The hundreds of writers you empower over at Write to Done will, in their turn, go on to inspire and support thousands of others and who knows where that may lead.

On a personal level, I’m trying to do my bit by buying folk charity gifts each year. We enjoy buying, in our friends’ names, goats, school books and desks and fishing nets. Some day, I’m hoping to be able to do more to free girls from lives of torture, slavery and prostitution.

Blessings for your venture, and thank you for sharing your dream. The universe rewards action.

Hi Mary, I was able to obtain a wildest dream at an early age. It helped me to realize that all I have to do is believe in the dream and myself, even if no one else does. Now I dream of getting involved with helping the people of India. I'm not sure how or when it will come about, but it will come about because I believe it. Because of blogs like yours, we all have a place to go, where we can communicate with like minded people. That's a big help for those of us that are reaching for the stars!

I have spent several years trying to figure out what I want to be when I grow up. At almost 41, I think I am getting close.

My dream is to own and operate a wellness center. I have a small farm where I go to escape cinderblock windowless spaces and electromagnetic fields. I want to construct a yurt on the farm which will serve as a yoga/pilates studio, juice and smoothie bar, and massage studio.

My first step was to enroll in massage therapy school. I am proud to say that I have made it through 5 months of a 12 month program. Acquiring the yurt and related necessities will be the next more challenging steps as I don’t really want to incur debt.

I have made my dream known to some in recent months, and it has been met with mixed reaction…everything from “Oh I am so excited…I’ll be your first customer,” to “…what the bleep is a yurt and do you really think you can make a living at that?” Takes some work to keep the dream alive. Thanks for the opportunity to go public.
