Are You Following Your Dreams?

Posted on November 13, 2023 by Frances Jones, One of Thousands of Life Coaches on Noomii.

In college, I lived beside a teenage girl who often came to me for advice. I always inspired her to move forward and encouraged her to understand that in whatever situation she was dealing with, she had options, and it would be all right. I did not realize it until years later, but it was from that early moment in my life that I knew making an impact in someone else’s life was the ultimate dream job for me.

Coming from humble beginnings, I never took for granted the blessings that came my way. I was the first in my family to graduate from college and ended up working at the world’s largest pharmacy company in accounting. Working in corporate America taught me a lot. But I never felt the gratifying feeling I had as a young woman, helping another young woman see all the beautiful decisions she could make for her life.

I finally made my way back to my dream, now working as a Transformational life purpose and infertility coach. Are you following your dreams?

If you know you are following your dreams, you reduce internal frustration and get in tune with who you really are. It allows you to better align with your gifts and talents and gives you the opportunity to be free from the trap of living someone else’s dream or the opinion of who you should be in your life.

Here are some steps to get your started on your journey to following your dreams

1. Access your current job right now and see if it resonates with what you feel in your heart. If it doesn’t, why? What is missing? What do you really want to be doing?

2. Make a list of things that come naturally for you.

3. Make a list of things you would do even if you weren’t getting paid. Is one of those things the real dream? How can you make it happen?

4. Prioritize the lists and meditate on the top three things to see which feels the best to you.

For too long, many have allowed life’s obstacles to prevent them from pursuing their passions and fulfilling their true purpose. True joy and fulfillment come when dreams are realized.
