Inside...

 Inside we all have a dream that we want to have come true, we all have fears that can derail these dreams. Life can get in the way, our thoughts can get in our way, other people can derail our dreams. What does it take you to keep on dreaming that dream, what do you think when you see that dream inside and how does that dream make you feel when you see that dream inside...

We need to replace our fears with words, sentences of all things positive to keep striving to reach our dreams. Its not going to be easy, or everyone would be so happy to have their dream, but would that happiness be filled with taking that dream for granted, if you didn't work your butt off to get that dream.

Some dream the biggest they can, and some have small dreams, but equally important. Others will say things to put you off your dream...they will question your dream...its up to us to know in our hearts, our minds that our dream is ours and that with all our being we can and will reach that dream.

The hardest step is taking that dream from your heart and having your mind come along for the ride of a life time and see it come to fruition. I believe while we have our bodies on this earth, we are to do the most we can with it, dream the biggest dreams, reach for the highest star, and make yourself the happiest you can, as no one else can do that for you.

 Whether its your dream job, your dream sport, your dream event. No matter what it is, you will have some that will go with you and stand by you as you strive, take the hands of these and draw on their encouragement, not the ones that question your dreams, or try to derail your dreams...without dreams this world would be covered in the darkest clouds of negativity, it is our dreams that shine the rays of light and life that the world needs to say we can...


Our journey to our dream is all part of it, its the hard work, the tough times, the ups, the downs, the hills, the highs, the lows, we need to keep our hearts and minds on the dream, no matter what it puts before you, this is all the learning you are needing to do to reach your dream.

My dream is to swim the Rottnest Channel Swim (20km) in February 2016, and then to swim 192km down the Hudson River (The 8 Bridges Swim) within the next two to three years, I would love to be able to swim like a dolphin, and I fear the sting of the stingers, I have faced and will continue to face with each and every open water swim I do. In my journey to my dream(s) I swim in the ocean that houses both my love and my fear, with each swim I face my fear and have started to become tolerant of the sting that I get, that I can mentally detach from the pain of the sting while I swim, and know I will deal with it once I get out of the water, its a matter of keep swimming, make the distance, breathe, you can do it!!

Reach into the deepest part of your heart find that dream that makes your heart skip a beat. Let your mind take on the dream and see that its going to be an amazing journey and that no one can stop you from reaching your dream.
