4 not this kind of dream

I call my work dreamwhispering.

This may sound ethereal and unreal, but it’s the opposite.

It’s grittily real.

It can be too real.

It’s about dreams which can be developed and delivered – with ‘stepwise progress’, as Seth Godin puts it.*

These are achievable dreams because they’re made up of things which matter to you, which you have developed skills towards crating.  Step by step, you move towards them.

The other kind of dream, requires a mighty leap because whilst you may like the idea of it, you haven’t developed skills in this direction or taken any steps and are likely to be waiting for something to happen.

These are safe dreams.

Because they are unlikely to happen, you can hide in them.

The first kind are the scary ones, because if you keep moving forward step-by-step, they’re possible.

We can honestly say our dreams lie within us.

Of course, if the dream is within us, then we – not someone else or some organisation – must do something about it.

Whether you see this as good news or bad news will decide whether you now do something.
