Doing “Well” Is Not Enough: It’s Time to Start Dreaming Again
No matter where you are in life or the successes you have achieved in the past, there is always the potential to discover new dreams. By: Dr. Areej Khataybih
The other day I had a conversation with a friend who felt that he had “done everything he wanted in life” and had “checked all the boxes on his bucket list”. He spent his free time aimlessly and felt as though he couldn’t complain because he had everything he had always wanted, and he was “doing well where he was at”. I had to ask him if he felt as though he was settling. In his late 30s, could he have really accomplished everything he had ever wanted? “Well, no… But I don’t know where to go from here.” PAGE 26
What my friend was suffering from were not only mental blocks, but a complete lack of that spark that used to inspire him to dream of bigger and better things. And he’s not alone. Many of my clients that I coach face the same problems and get stuck where they’re at. The problem is that they have forgotten how to dream of new possibilities because they get so stuck in their day to day lives that they do not give themselves the chance to explore what could be.
