Restore a Dream

Do you want to restore a dream of yours, but you do not know how? Learn what is stopping you and restore your dream today. It is like opening an old time capsule that you created when you were younger. Inside is a written “Message to the Future” letter to yourself saying what you want to be when you grow up. Life got in the way since then. Unexpected events happened along the way.

Opening the Time Capsule

You have been waiting for years to open this decorative time capsule tin you left in your closet that you our your parent’s made for you. At first you thought this was going to be the longest anticipated Christmas gift to open ever. Then, eventually you forgot about it. That is the point though. When you wait enough years, it makes what is inside that much more special and cherished.

What did you friends or family wish for you when you grew up? What expectations did they have for you? What have you been living for? You may not see anything happening over the years, but know there has been many things happening behind the scenes to help you restore your dream. Maybe that stranger or new friend you met recently has connections for you.

Our Past Helps Write our Future

You may or may not like your life in the past, but it helped create who you are today. It gives you a story as to how and why your life has changed. Life can get us down and keep us from wanting to dream. However, that is what we are made to do, so “dream big” as my parents would teach me. An anticipation helps keep us motivated and encourages us to make it happen. Look at your circumstances and say, “this too shall pass,” just like the last thunder storm. It is true.

Believe You Can Restore a Dream and Make your Life Blueprint

Don’t just believe it, but take steps to make baby goals to accomplishment. Make your own Life Time Capsule using the “Any Occasion” DIY Time Capsule and write down your 4 week, 3 month, 6 month and 5, then 10 year goals. Then put in “Message to the Future” letters from friends and family about where they see you at these times. Also, include quotes of motivation, memorabilia and mementos from school, home, work, or other social activities that you want to preserve and know is important in helping you restore your dream.

Then, on a date you choose, years after working toward your goal to restore your dream, open your Life Time Capsule, and see what all you accomplished. This will bring so much excitement and moments of reminiscing, that you will want to do it all over again. It is this kind of motivation that will keep you going in life.

Gather a Group of Friends to Make a Life Dream Time Capsule

Whatever you do, do not restore your dream alone. You just have to wake up your old dreams again. What you think is dead, can be made alive again. Get financial, marital, emotional, or business counseling if you have to so you have help along with way. Wake up the dream you have given up on by making promises of what to accomplish in your life today. Include these promises in the time capsule, then open 10, 20, or 30 years later and be proud of yourself. Do not give up. Write that book, start that business, get out of debt, foster a child, jump in now and help those youth in the community, break that addiction, etc. These things can happen. It all starts with baby steps.
