Aspirations

Our aspirations, dreams, longings and hopes enable us to connect to what we really want in life and this helps us find the motivation to make change. It’s a softer word than goals and has more space within it.

When Things Seem To Stay The Same

Project Self
Many of us seem to aspire to an alternative life, almost without our current self, as we are, within it. We have an idea of how it could look If Only we aren’t the way we are.  The life we’ll have When we’ve done all the work on ourselves.

On Knowing What You Want

Project Self
A coaching colleague wrote recently about dreams in which he said: 1) some people give up before they start; 2) some moderate their dreams (realism being the death of dreams); 3) some keep their dream alive but don’t believe in it so are half hearted and non-committal (the comfort zone I recently wrote about) and 4) some are fully committed to realising their dream – because they believe it is possible.

Dreams are also described as wishes, desires, ambitions,…
