What happens when you open up?

If we allowed ourselves to dream about new worlds, we would be able to create them. Nothing starts without a vision. Every entrepreneur starts his or her business from a place of inspiration. They start from the idea:

‘when I’m creating this job or product on my own terms,

what does it look like?’

Most entrepreneurs have a strong belief in their ideas and see them clearly as they start. Things might not work out the way they envisioned them, but that doesn't matter. They follow their vision and are flexible in adjusting their ideas. When things don’t work one way, they try something else.

When we open ourselves to dream about the world we want to create, we start to see different things. We start to see possibilities and opportunities. We find like-minded people or articles and videos online that connect to our ideas. We find examples of things we want to create and see if we can co-create or work together.

What would your ideal world look like?

If you open yourself up and start dreaming, without judgment or thinking about impossibilities, what would you see? Would you change the way you live, the way you eat, the way you work? Do you dream of something better in your own life or in the lives of the people around you?

We are all able to dream.

That’s why I often give this exercise to people. An exercise I once did during a training and continued to do during my morning practice. It’s very easy.
