Dream BIG — Tie That To 5 minutes of Action Daily

@willisfineart

Passion. This is my 1 hour a day of yoga and writing. Something that has become a behavior pattern for me. One of the mental hacks I have is asking myself: what if I had 100 million dollars in my bank account? What would I do? That is the famous Warren Buffet line. So what would you do? If you had an infinite amount of money, what would your life look like?

I take that one step further and tell myself, that I have it: but here is the catch… It’s locked away for the next 15 years so I cannot have access to it. After thinking of buying what you want, a better car, a better house, all the holidays oversees, all the best food you can eat — anything you can imagine. You have had all the happiness. What would be left? What would be your daily activities? That is the first step to finding your purpose…

I would have to say following your passions is one of the hardest things you can do… And for some probably one of the hardest things to find. All work is hard and it becomes easier through years of effort. The good news is that we can live that dream life today. In some small way doing what we dream to do, just takes 5 minutes a day to start with — and that is writing it out. That’s putting it into reality and to take that further, tie that to a daily action.

As a creative person I think we are all born creative. Kids have no limits. They push the boundaries on all levels and we all have that same spirit inside us. So don’t defer the life you want for later. Today is the day. It’s our responsibility to be good role models, and that is living well. Thinking about my art process for the last 7 years pretty much full time — it’s been a hard road. Going through pain and financial pressure. Just dealing with the pushback of people and the stereotype of artists. The secret is hard work and being prolific. Tying that dream to a daily action even if it seems totally impossible. The world is filled with opportunities and place for people who follow their dreams and are bold. If you really want it, it’s there for the taking. Face the reality of it, push through and don’t give up — if it’s love we will find a way to make it work.
