Note from Carol

Hey Carol,

This month is all about DREAMING BIG and in this month’s Wisdom Warriors we’ll be delving deeper into this. You can REGISTER HERE (free)  – more info at the end of this email.

Some of my "fans" may have noticed that I deferred this month's Warrior Coaching. Why? Because I was busy living My Dream! The story follows...

In 2014, I first butt-sledded down Tuckerman's Ravine ski trail (Sherbourne) with a Meetup Group. I laughed so hard that snow went into my open mouth as I careened off moguls. Ever since then, I have dreamed of bringing my boys there. Then "life happened." Sound familiar? 

My younger was too little in 2014. Then he developed an autoimmune disease and could not walk. Then in 2020 after he recovered and I purchased all the gear for the 3 of us (sleds, netting, spikes, etc) it was Not Allowed due to COVID 19 restrictions.

So I planned for this year (2021). I even rented a home in the mountains so we would not have to do the whole "up and back" drive in one day.

I did not realize though, that it was going to be about a month later than "typical" when we did the trip.  The 2 days prior to our hike up was pouring rain. Then the "morning of" featured 80 MPH winds at the summit. Hmmmmmm....we went anyhow.

And...we got "some" sledding in! The top of the Sherbourne trail was open! I made it up and back! It was successful! It was, is, a dream come true.

How to live within your means and stay connected to your dreams

Do you ever find yourself comparing your life to those around you? Perhaps on social media, in pictures of friends and family, living what you can only call paradise, while you’re sat at home on a rainy Sunday scrolling through your phone. It’s easy to get carried away right? Not everybody has the same resources, circumstances, or financial situation, so how do you continue to move forwards with your life and do it within your means? The formula is fairly simple. Add a little passion, a touch of courage and hey presto, you have yourself a cocktail for success. 

Discover a template: Take a wish and make it a reality. 

In our last article, we spoke about how to turn your dreams into more than just a fantasy and today we continue to push you on, encouraging you to take a wish and create it into a reality. It’s imperative to start by reminding you that what works for someone else may not work for you. There’s no one size fits all when it comes to life. Trial and error are your best friends when discovering your template of success. Start by challenging yourself with the “3 identifies” 

– Identify your wish or dream – what is it that you want to achieve? 

– Identify your resources – What do you already have that will help you on your way? It’s important to think long and hard about the existing resources because this will enable you to continue to move forwards and do it within your means. 

– Identify what it is you need to make that wish a reality – what is it that you need but don’t already have? How long is it going to take to get there? How much money will you need? 

The most efficient way to achieve a wish or dream is to set a timeline against what you want to do. Break it down into manageable, bitesize pieces that won’t put too much pressure on you financially, physically, or mentally. 

What you have already in your life are your resources and your base but by no means are these your limits. Just look at Oprah Winfrey as an example of this. After a troubled childhood, she worked in radio while still at school. Each step of her journey took her a 

little closer to her goal, her wish, her dream. Steve Jobs, Ralph Lauren, Richard Branson…the list goes on. Very successful people who lived within their means, mapped their journey, and worked hard until it was complete.
