Living With Your Hopes and Dreams

Hey, how you doing today? This is Nick Hansen from CADRE. Thank you so much for joining me. And I just wanted to talk a little bit about hopes and dreams. And I think in this new era that we're in, 2021 pandemic, there's clearly a raising of the consciousness going on and the hopes and dreams that you had last year or the year before may be different than they are now. Your hopes and dreams may be different yesterday than they are today. I think one of the awesome things about being human and having our humanness and our soul and our possibilities is that you can literally walk out the door and you can be a different person, whether that's in a big way or a little way.

We don't have to stay stuck on our old story. We can create a new one, a new thought. We can try something different. And the same thing with our hopes and dreams. Those can evolve and change. as well. And maybe your hope today is just to get out of bed. Maybe your hope today is just to show up to work. But I think we all have these deep hopes and dreams and they can change through the years. One thing that I do think that can really help is writing your hopes and dreams down. Something about writing them down makes them more of a possibility or a reality.

And maybe you want to tell someone else about them, but maybe sometimes you want to keep them to yourself. And because there is something about, you know, I don't know, there's kind of two ways of looking at it. One is if you put it out kind of into the universe, into the public, then you maybe are more compelled to take action. But also by putting it out there, it's so easy for people to kind of come and squash that idea that you might get filled, this has happened to me before, where you get filled with this unbelievable excitement about an idea like, oh my God, I've got this new idea and the synapses start firing.

And then you tell a friend about it, or you tell a family member about it, or you put it on Facebook, or you e-mail someone about it, whatever it is. And someone says, well, that doesn't make sense or that's not a good idea. And so it can take its power away a little bit. But I think writing those hopes and dreams down is important. And also just having hopes and dreams about the future is important. And figuring out what your purpose is. I want to connect with people. I want to collaborate. I want to create.

I want to make and do work that connects with other people. I want to love other people. You know, some of the times I have trouble with specificity of hopes and dreams, you know, and like the law of attraction type stuff will say that you need a specific, you know, thing to think about or a specific, you know, thing that you want to attain. And I think that can be important too. Like I said, I can struggle, you know, with that. some of the time. So I think it's, you know, just important like to err on the side of sharing those hopes and dreams with others.

I think, you know, I think there's enough community and support out there that the more that we can do that, the more it's going to encourage people. You know, they talk about aspire to inspire and the universe will take notice. And I think too, the hopes and dreams you know, don't necessarily need to be an individual thing, you know? I mean, I think it's so easy to get caught up in our own individual path of destiny that we forget we're all so interconnected. And I know that when I started worrying less about my own little plans and designs and the more that I started like just trying to be of service and be helpful, like my life expanded in such a way it has led to opportunities that I never expected.

So I think that you'll find when you listen to me, I have trouble saying something definite. It's just not the way that my mind works. It's a little more abstract. So for me to say like, you need an exact hope and dream and you gotta go out and you gotta get it today. Now, now you gotta do it. I mean, I don't know, maybe that's the case and maybe it's not. That's just how I roll. I just wanna present you with some different ideas and thoughts and different possibilities. So anyways, thank you for taking the time and listening to me on Hopes and Dreams tonight.

I hope you're having an awesome day. And remember, let's stay together and let's make some progress a little bit at a time, a little bit at a time, a little bit at a time, and that's a great way to chip away at your hopes and dreams. Okay, bye-bye.
