6 Healthy Foods to Feed Your Hungry Dreams
You’ve got dreams and goals that are restless. They’re always hungry. They wake you up in the middle of the night looking for a snack and they demand big meals during the day.
They may always seem like they’re saying; “me, me, me” but they’re not selfish. These dreams just want you to help them grow so that in return they can help you.
You’re the caregiver of your dreams so it’s up to you to feed them healthy food and meals. However, perhaps you feel like you aren’t providing that well enough. So to help you, here are six healthy foods to feed your hungry dreams.
1. A story
Nothing nourishes your dreams like feeding your mind and senses. Even if all you have is five minutes you can read, watch, and listen to a story that will inspire and motivate you even longer than the time you spent listening, reading, or watching.
Some great places to start are at Good News Now – a news site dedicated to only positive news, GivesMeHope – a site that shares life stories that ignite hope, and even on Youtube. Here are three excellent videos from Youtube worth bookmarking:
- Moments
- Famous Failures
- A Story Of A Sign
2. Frustration and failure
It might taste bitter to you and your dreams but frustration and failure contain essential vitamins and nutrients that will strengthen, motivate, and create perseverance.
3. A worthwhile purpose
Just like you, your dreams need purpose to live. And not just any purpose; a noble purpose, an authentic purpose, a worthwhile purpose.
Purposes that are rooted in earning as much money as possible or in garnering fame cannot sustain a dream for long.
Dreams need purposes such as to help others, whether they be strangers or your loved ones, or to leave a legacy.
4. Criticism
Criticism is just as bitter as frustration and failure, and because of this you’ll want to shield your dreams from it.
You and your dreams need to instead feed off of criticism. Sometimes critics have decent advice worth noting, and other times they spew out criticism that is so infuriating that you want to keep moving and working harder to “show them.”
Give your dreams a little bit of the criticism to chew on once and awhile. If they really don’t like it, they can always spit it out.
5. Time
Every single day, even if it’s just for 10 minutes, work on your dream. Don’t let yourself get distracted or let “life” get in the way.
You can’t neglect your dreams, because they will quickly die and begin to haunt you.
6. Success
You’ll often feed success to your dreams in different sizes. Sometimes it’ll be a meal, sometimes a giant banquet, and most often it’ll be a little snack. Even though it’s a little treat, it will energize you and your dreams so don’t overlook it.
