10 Driving Tips on the Road to Your Dreams

Where are you going?

I often rave about my GPS, a cherished "gift that keeps on giving". Not only do I love it because of the ease and confidence it offers me in finding my way, but this fabulous little computer also calculates my anticipated time of arrival. I just love that... Short of something catastrophic or a massive detour, I breathe easier knowing when and where I'll arrive at my destination.

But wait, there's more!
In the event of a missed turn, Jill (yes, that's her name) echos the word "recalculating" while identifying an alternate route that will take me to my destination. No judgment or panic, simply: recalculating. Ahhh...anyone who's ridden in my car with me knows first-hand, that I have great affection for my GPS.

On the road to realizing your dreams, there is much to be learned from this nifty little invention.

10 DRIVING TIPS ON THE ROAD TO YOUR DREAMS:

1. Unless you know your destination, a GPS will not be much use to you. You must choose a destination! This is not to say you can't change direction at any time, it just means that in order to receive guidance about where to go, you must begin by choosing which way to head. (By the way, there is of course not a thing wrong with a joy-ride, as long as you don't feel any particular urgency to get anywhere in particular.)

2. When would you like to arrive? Are you traveling, by foot, bike, car...? Take into account how fast you're able to travel for a steady distance, and when you would like to arrive. With a bit of planning, you'll be able to easily assess how soon to set out on your journey and what to pack.

3. Give yourself some extra time so you can stop along the way to refuel.

4. Remember: You are in the drivers seat.

5. Enjoy the ride. Half the fun is getting there.

6. If it feels daunting to go it alone, find others who are heading in a similar direction to join you. (See below for more info on this!)

7. Pace yourself.

8. Glance in the rear-view mirror periodically, but keep your primary focus on what's in front of you.

9. Celebrate each milestone along the way, knowing that every step counts.

10. Don't doubt and question whether or not you'll get there! Just keep going...


Dreaming together creates a very special bond. Similar to how a GPS can guide you to your destination, The Dream Circle guides you to realize your life dreams and goals.

You don't have to use any more precious fuel spinning your wheels. If you are tired of going it alone or know it's time to ask for directions, the Dream Circle will move you forward at an accelerated pace...

"The Dream Circle allows each person to voice their dreams with no fear of put-down. It's exciting to see how seeds developed as each session moved along and witnessing how dreams morph or become far more defined. The inspiration is two-fold. It feels so very good to help others by offering positive, constructive feedback, and in turn that same constructive feedback helps you crystalize your own dream more clearly. Together we created a circle where each other's ideas evolved from concepts, to an outline, to attainability. It was magical." ~ Hilary, Newport, RI

Let me be the first to say CONGRATULATIONS!

Are you feeling stuck, uninspired, or in the midst of a big transition? Are you carrying a dream in your heart that, while inspiring, feels totally out of reach? Does that "well, maybe next year..." voice ring in your head, just like it did last year? If you answered yes, not only are you not alone, but let me be the first to say congratulations! The path to your dreams is closer than you think.

I know that stuck place because that's exactly where I was when I decided that something had to change. As defeated as I felt at times, I knew that only I could take charge and turn my life around. And, it is with sincere joy that I now share inspiration and information to help you do just that.

I'm so excited to extend a very special invitation! I'm leading two Dream Circles this Spring and Summer: May/June in Somerset (FULL), MA and July/Aug in Newport, RI (just a few seats left).

I want to be sure to mention that this is the last time I will be offering this powerful, playful, 5-week, dream-propelling program at this price. An absolute steal.

The Dream Circle guides you through a proven process that will have you not only clear on your dreams, but with access to the support and courage to move forward confidently, taking intentional action to propel you into the experience you desire.

As it says on our website: If you're not sure what you dream of, The Dream Circle helps you identify it. If you have some sense of what you want, The Dream Circle helps you nurture it. And, if you know what you want, The Dream Circle helps you manifest it.

But don't take my word for it, read what participants say...
______________________________

"I arrived for week 1 of the 5-week Dream Circle with a dream of having a studio space to create my artwork - a big upgrade from my dining room table! Things happened so fast! My vision was fully aflame in my heart, but my courage was still just a lone ember. It quickly grew six-fold with the clarity and support of the other Dream Circle members and I realized this didn't have to remain a dream at all. I took action, and was so excited when, on week 5, I hosted our Dream Circle at my new studio!" (Bonnie, Cranston, RI)

"The Dream Circle group format is absolutely the formula that makes this process work. I was so inspired by the dreams of others and even wanted to steal a dream or two at times... At the end of the day, the Dream Circle helped each us find, refine and define our dreams." (Linda, Middletown, RI)

"Tara, we are only in week 1 and the Dream Circle has already been a gift in so many ways! I really feel that it is one of the best things I have done for myself. The space you have created for me to dream has already changed not only my way of thinking, but those around me. Thank you a million times for what you do. You are a gift to everyone." (Johanna, Brown University)

Now is "someday" and where ever you are on your dream-realization journey, if this program is calling to you, I hope you'll make the decision and claim one of the few seats remaining in this special program.

We meet one night a week for 2-hours, for 5 consecutive weeks. Consistent feedback from participants has been that they didn't want it to end! In past Dream Circles, some participants started out feeling challenged by the idea of scheduling 5 sessions in their calendar, but once we began, several wanted the program extended 5 more weeks! For now, 5-weeks is it, so I encouraged them to sign up again - and some have done just that!

Oooo...I absolutely love watching what unfolds for people who are ready to dream bigger, bolder, and more freely than ever before! The Dream Circle is a gently structured, intentionally facilitated, mastermind group focused entirely on the realization of your dreams. The format pools the energy, diverse life experiences, insights and ideas of the group, for the benefit of each member -- this accelerates the process for everyone! Friendships are made, and dreams prosper...

Group membership also includes access to an online forum as a way for the group to stay connected between meetings. The online forum alone, has been reported as a powerful source of support for participants! You'll find all the details, including the registration link here.

By design, there are only 6 people per Dream Circle in order to ensure that everyone gets plenty personal attention, and there are only a few spaces remaining. If, by chance, getting there means driving a tad bit further than you usually travel for a workshop, consider: How far would be too far for your dreams?

Now, for those of you who legitimately live too far to participate, like our New Zealand subscribers for example, know that we plan to offer this program as a Webinar too. No date is set on that yet, but please stay tuned...

BONUS OFFER: (I get especially generous when I'm excited!)
As a thank you for being a loyal Create Your Life! subscriber (and for reading this far) you'll also receive a FREE 30-minute Activation Coaching Call to anyone who uses the link below to register in full.

Ok, so that's the scoop. You get a comprehensive 5-week program + a private coaching call with me, all for under $200! Visit http://createyourlifeinc.com/workshops_retreats.htm for all the details and to reserve your seat!
