Hey beautiful. Welcome back to the show. Thanks Today, I’m going to be sharing with you nine steps that will lead you to live the life of your [00:01:00] wildest dreams. Now, I have a question for you. Have you ever caught yourself daydreaming about a life that is so thrilling and so fulfilling that it almost feels out of your reach?

Now, whether it is sipping herbal tea in a quaint Parisian cafe or launching your dream online business or simply finding more joy in everyday moments, the life of your wildest dreams is not just a distant fantasy. It is a potential reality and it is waiting for you to make the first move. And today I’m going to share with you exactly how to do it.

Are you ready? If you’re not driving, you might want to write these ones down. Okay, now the first step in living your dream life is knowing what it looks like for you. So let’s dream a little. I want you to close your eyes and picture your ideal day in vivid detail. Where do [00:02:00] you wake up? Who do you wake up next to?

What home? What country are you in? How do you feel when you wake up? What’s the first thing you do when you wake up? And take yourself slowly through your day. Do you do a morning routine? Where do you eat your breakfast? What do you eat? Who do you eat with? When you’re getting ready, What are you putting on?

Where are you going that day? What are you doing that day? Where do you eat your lunch? What do you eat? Who with? What do you do in the afternoon? What time do you eat dinner? Where do you eat dinner? What are you eating? Who with? What do you do in your evenings? How do you feel when you put your head on your pillow at night?

Dream really big here. Take your time. [00:03:00] And when you’re ready, you can open your eyes and journal about. what you saw. This isn’t just daydreaming. It’s giving flesh to your vision so that it can become your reality. So write down everything that you just saw in that daydream in vivid detail. So that is the first step.

You have to dream it to live it. You have to see what you want first, okay? The second step is you need to break it down. Now dreams can sometimes feel overwhelming. So let’s simplify them. Do you want to travel the world? Now, the first thing you can do is start by exploring your own city. Do you dream of running a marathon?

You can begin with a daily walk and then a jog and then a run. Do you want to launch your dream online business? You can start with a side gig. Every big dream can be broken down into [00:04:00] smaller achievable steps, okay? So break it down, yeah? This is how you live your wildest dreams. You dream it, step one.

Number two, you break it down, okay? So it’s not overwhelming. Number three, begin now. Every journey begins with a single step, and your dream life is no exception. But don’t fall into the trap of waiting for the perfect moment to get started. That perfect moment does not exist. It’s never going to appear.

It is this fictional thing we’ve made up in our head. The perfect moment is now, okay? Now, the truth is, the resources, the time, and the energy that you have right now are all you need to get started. Even if it’s just picking up a book, enrolling in a new course, making a phone call, or setting aside a bit of your income, these small actions are the seeds of your future success.

Remember, consistency, [00:05:00] imperfect action beats waiting for this non existent perfect time every single time, okay? I see this idea of waiting for the perfect time paralyze way too many people. Not you and I, my friend. We are going to move forward no matter what, we’re just going to keep moving forward. So that is number three, begin now.

Number four, practice consistency, not perfectionism. So consistency moves mountains. But, be wary of thinking that you need to show up every single day and perform at your peak or otherwise you will fail, okay? Now let’s be real, there will be days, there will be weeks, maybe even entire months when things don’t go to plan.

Maybe you get sick, maybe your child or your partner or your parents need you or maybe you just need some rest, yeah? So instead of letting those instances derail you, set the intention to stay connected to your goals. [00:06:00] even if it’s just in a small way. And if you stumble or self sabotage, focus on the earliest opportunity to regain momentum, okay?

So the key takeaway here is to strive for progress and presence rather than perfection. Good enough often leads to epic results. Okay, so that is number four. Practice consistency, not perfectionism. Number five, find meaning in the journey. Now, this one is crucial. Enjoy every step of the journey toward your dream life.

There will be ups and downs, but each experience is a valuable lesson. So celebrate your small victories, learn from the road bumps along the way, and keep moving forward. No matter what, get up and keep moving forward, okay? So that’s number five, find meaning in the journey. Number six, step six, surround yourself with [00:07:00] positivity.

Now I want to share a simple but powerful truth with you. You become like the people you spend the most time with. So use this to your advantage. Intentionally surround yourself with positive, supportive people who believe in your dreams. Avoid the naysayers and the energy drainers and remember good vibes are contagious.

So surround yourself with positivity. That is step number six. Step number seven is stay flexible. Your dreams and goals are likely to shift as you gather new experience and insights about yourself and the world around you. This isn’t just okay, my friend, it is a vital part of the process. So embrace the ability to pivot, pivot fast, be responsive to your evolving self and circumstances.

Now this kind of adaptability isn’t just a nice to have trait, it’s a superpower that distinguishes the most successful individuals from everyone else. If you can learn how to flow with change rather than resisting it, [00:08:00] Your journey is going to be exponentially smoother, speedier, and more enjoyable, okay?

So that’s step number seven, stay flexible. Number eight. Do not, and I mean it, do not ever give up. So, I have a question for you. Have you ever planted a bamboo seed? At first, it seems like nothing is happening. For a full five years, there’s no visible growth, despite having to water and fertilize it every single day.

Yet beneath the soil, a complex root system is expanding. building a sturdy foundation and absorbing nutrients. Then in an astonishing burst of growth during the fifth year, your bamboo skyrockets up to 80 feet in just six weeks. Now imagine if you had given up on the fourth year and 300th and 64th day.

Think about the incredible growth you would have missed. This is exactly how your dreams work. You might not immediately witness the [00:09:00] results of your hard work, but that doesn’t mean progress isn’t happening. You’re laying down the groundwork and creating a robust base for your future success. Eventually, just when it seems like nothing’s happening, despite all of your efforts, you will reach a critical juncture where your dreams will shoot up, astonishing you with their growth.

So keep nurturing them, stay patient, and before you know it, you will find yourself living in the midst of what once felt like a distant dream, my friend. Okay? So, do not give up. Number nine, the ninth and final step. Never stop believing. Every legend Every high achiever, every person who ever did something extraordinary, believed first in their own spark before anyone else did.

Your belief is the secret source that turns the invisible into the visible, the impossible, into the possible. Now, [00:10:00] when you believe in yourself, you don’t just chase your dreams, you catch them. Okay? So there you have it, my friends, the nine steps that will lead you to the life of your dreams. Let’s recap.

Let’s go back to number one. Dream it to live it. This is where you visualize your dream day in vivid detail. Then you break it down. That’s step two. Number three is you begin now. Number four, practice consistency, not perfectionism. Number five, find meaning in the journey. Number six, surround yourself with positivity.

Number seven, stay flexible. Number eight, do not, and I mean it, do not give up. Number nine, never stop believing. Living the life of your wildest dreams is not something that’s reserved for a lucky few. It’s a choice and a commitment available to you, my beautiful friend. It starts with a dream, thrives on daily inspired action, and blossoms with persistence and self [00:11:00] belief.

You’ve got the power to make it happen, and even the tiniest actions will compound over time. I promise you. If you keep showing up every single day, it will compound over time.
