Dreams can come true? is that a question?

I have failed

I started this website in its current form 2 months ago. and It was going to change my life. And who is to say it hasn’t? well truth be told, I wrote one post 2 months ago and that is it. No way am I doing enough of the things I feel passionate about.

Now I admit I’m being silly. But I do love the idea of dreaming something and making it happen. ultimately this is the biggest thing I have struggled with my whole life. not knowing how to take action and follow through on things I want to do, or at least think I want to do.

A quick search online comes up with “Fear of success and/or failure“. But that doesn’t feel like me at all. When I think about why I have achieved very little, it comes down to two things.

1 – I can’t imagine me doing anything. I really struggle to visualize anything.

2 – I struggle to remember past events and incorporate them into my being. I may remember things, but it doesn’t feel like me.

I honestly often feel like I am not living in alignment with my dreams/desires/goals/purpose. I feel stuck and like I’m getting nowhere. BUT if I truly think, I am achieving more than I first think. I learned somewhere, to keep a record of your achievements and I did this somewhere (I lose things on the cloud). When I look at this, I can see all the wonderful things I have done in the last 10 years or so of my life. It doesn’t feel like I am but when I look over this list, I can see really what I am doing.

Dreams I have achieved so far

Living in my Van, Lenore.

Sure, you may think living in a vehicle is a silly Goal and I’m not saying you are wrong. But it was my goal at one point and I did it for three years.

Completing a Bachelors Degree

I’m not saying that University is the be-all and end-all. It surely isn’t. But for me, outdoor and environmental education was the right thing for me to fill 3 to 4 years of my life with.

I met some of the most incredible people, all with different experiences and outlooks on life. Who are all passionate about similar things. I spent many hours with these people. I was able to learn with them and from them. I found what I now consider my biggest passion. the thing that makes me feel whole. I love being in nature and I love living simply.

1000km bike ride

This is something I have yet to write about, in fact, I haven’t written about anything yet. So I will share more in a later post. This year, I spent around 15 days, riding my bike from Melbourne to Adelaide Australia.

While completing something like a long-distance bike ride is no small feat, the biggest benefit of this whole experience was something else. I had a random desire, that didn’t fit in with my current way of life and I made it happen. All in a short period of time. This showed me really, that I can do things. HA, how strong must my limiting beliefs about myself be?
