Often times people will ask me not only ‘how’ do I accomplish my dreams, but ‘why’… Whether you were told this truth as as young child or not, let me be the one to remind you: You Are Worthy of Your Dreams . I believe your thoughts, ideas, dreams, and desires are destiny’s way of communicating with you. Far too often, we spend our precious time and energy reflecting on why our dreams can’t be achieved & not enough time believing that you can… you will… and you are deserving of making your dreams happen. Today on the blog and podcast, I’m talking about the importance of dreaming and the benefits of allowing yourself the freedom to dream without allowing your ego clouding those dreams in fear or doubt. I’m sharing 5 life lessons that have enabled me to dream big & accomplish those dreams, too.
How to Believe You Are Worthy of Your Dreams (5 Life Lessons)
The words we tell ourselves are the most powerful force for change that we possess as human beings- or the lack of words as it may be. Start changing that inner dialogue by speaking your dreams out loud. Simply sharing your dreams with those around you can be the shift you need to start changing that inner dialogue that consciously or even subconsciously fails to believe that you are worthy of your dreams. No matter your age or stage in life, ask yourself the question, “What are my dreams?” Answer that question and then take action! Use these 5 life lessons that have enabled me to achieve my biggest dreams as inspiration for dreaming bigger & then taking action to make those dreams happen.
How to Believe You Are Worthy of Your Dreams
A little about my backstory & why I believe why we are all worthy of our dreams… Some of my greatest accomplishments to date are that I wake up excited everyday. I am proud of continuously building, fighting for, and thriving with a strong life partner - my husband, Jason. I am proud of creating an environment with an open mind and open heart in raising my 6 children. I am proud of the successful career I have developed over the years in the field of electrical engineering.
You have to begin my recognizing & then believing you are worthy of your dreams. Your dreams only belong to you & therefore, you have a responsibility to take ownership of those dreams. Every thought, vision, or idea that occurs in our psyche happens for a reason. I believe in serendipity and that there is a unique plan for you. Your ideas and dreams are destiny’s way of communicating with you. Start to listen.
Why Do Dreams Even Matter?
A lot of people don’t even just ask how I accomplish my dreams, they actually ask “why?” It brings about joy in my life to strive for my dreams every day. I wake up excited and joyful. Being on this path and connecting with my vision for my life every day brings so much joy not only to me but to those around me. Allowing yourself to connect with others through your dreams and sharing those dreams with others as they watch you strive to achieve them brings about a shared sense of fulfillment that can’t help but spill onto others & encourage them in the pursuit of their dreams as well.
5 Life Lessons that Allow Me to Achieve My Dreams:
My parents always told me that I CAN be anything. They encouraged me to speak up & let my voice be heard. If you weren’t told this when you were little, let me be the one to tell you now. You can do anything you put your mind to - it’s simply up to you to believe that you are worthy of your dreams, too.
I learned the value of keeping my agreements. It’s imperative to building the confidence that allows you to dream BIG to keep your agreements not only with others but with yourself as well.
I am able to find comfort sitting in silence - every dream first begins in the mind & we need to learn to be comfortable enough to sit in silence in order to hear the dreams on our hearts be spoken in our thoughts and desires.
I learned to stay humble. It’s important to adopt the true meaning of humility and let that permeate your daily interactions with others.
I was willing to accept that I don’t have to know ‘the how’ before I take that first step... take the leap & watch your dreams begin to form as you take one step at a time.
REMEMBER: Instead of focusing on the so-called barriers that keep you from achieving your dreams, tune into the drivers of what brings you joy & begin to allow yourself to dream without the nagging fear and doubt that you aren’t worthy. Identify that dream & speak it out loud… take the leap & continue to take one step after another, allowing yourself to dream & believe you are worthy of your dreams.

This week’s featured essential oil: My FOUR favorites
Bergamot, Patchouli, Balance, and Adaptiv. Get all four here plus a year membership.
Bergamot essential oil is unique among citrus oils due to its ability to be both uplifting and calming, making it ideal to help with anxious and sad feelings. It is also purifying and cleansing for the skin while having a calming effect. Italians have used Bergamot oil for years to reduce feelings of stress and to soothe and rejuvenate skin.
Patchouli is easily recognized for its rich, musky sweet fragrance. Patchouli is beneficial to the skin in many ways and is a great companion Bergamot. It is often used topically to help reduce the appearance of wrinkles, blemishes, and minor skin imperfections and to promote a smooth, glowing complexion.

We perfectly blend Spruce, Ho Wood, Frankincense, Blue Tansy, and Blue Chamomile with Fractionated Coconut Oil to offer an enticing fragrance that creates a tranquil and relaxing atmosphere.
