Field of Dreams – If you believe in the impossible, the incredible can come true
I recently rewatched the movie Field of Dreams and some of the quotes came alive for me and made me reflect on where I am in my own life.
All his life, Ray Kinsella (the main character of the film) was searching for his dreams. Then one day his dreams came looking for him.” For those of you who haven’t seen the movie if you’re looking for inspiration on what can happen when you think this is a truly inspiring movie! give the game away but I’ve included some of the lines that made me stop and think.
About 2 years ago I was working at a secure corporate job where I had worked for about 20 years and then got fired. Looking back, this was the catalyst for a new life and a future goal at the time seemed like the worst thing in the world.
You know when you spend time dreaming about what your future would be like if you weren’t tied to a 9 to 5 job? Well, suddenly this was my reality: I may have dreamed of not working, being independent, having no one to answer to, but that was my world and now it has moved on its axis! But I am happy to say that there is life after redundancy!
For some it may be a change in career, an opportunity to reflect on what they want in life, for others it may just be an opportunity to earn a little money and move to another job working for another boss.
If you have just been laid off, take the time to reflect on what you want from life and your future: don’t jump at the first opportunity and make sure you use the opportunity wisely both in terms of money and time. Create your own Field of Dreams, whatever it is.
“You know, we just don’t recognize the most significant moments of our lives while they’re happening. Back then I thought, well, there will be other days. I didn’t realize that was the only day.” Dr. Archibald “Moonlight” Graham.
Sometimes your future calls out to you and we’re not tuned in enough to our thoughts or just too busy to notice. Do not miss your opportunities and live the life you deserve.
How about taking a chance with “Me inc” just for a moment imagine what it would be like to have your own home business, work your own hours and only have to answer to yourself? How would it feel to be in charge of your destiny and have the opportunity to develop and grow personally and help others achieve the same?
