There is something AMAZING that occurs when your thoughts and intentions aline in perfect harmony. Your world changes. It changes in ways you'd never imagine. You begin living a life you never dreamed you could have. When that begins to happen, you start dreaming ~ dreaming BIG ~ and pretty soon you have a "bucket list" of dreams that start becoming realities.
The KEY to unlock the ability to aline your thoughts and intentions and bucket list dreams is GRATITUDE. You must, in everything you do, be sincerely GRATEFUL for all that surrounds you. Taking time in every moment to find the little things in life that most people don't even take the time to notice.
The way the dew shines on the grass under the morning sun.
The sound of laughter in the early morning.
Working appliances and indoor plumbing.
Dogs who wake up happy to see you and eager to play.
Finding gratitude in every day moments brings a source of positivity into your life and when you are grateful, more things to be grateful for follow. As you begin to think about your future and where you would like to see yourself in life, where you would like to travel, what purposes you'd like to fulfill, you will start seeing all of your thoughts turn to reality.
Having a bucket list can help you reach some of your biggest dreams. There is power in the written word. That is why I am a HUGE believer in bucket listing! I dream BIG, I am consciously GRATEFUL and I have seen my bucket list last year come true.
Get out a piece of paper ~ Start with 10 things you would like to see/do before you die ~ Or if you are more visual, go to Pinterest and start finding photos and create your bucket list on there. I have my "Travel Bucket List" on Pinterest and every time I find a photo of some place I'd like to visit I add it to that board.
I also have my bucket list for the year of places I'd like to see/things I'd like to do ~
