Here is my dream: a beautiful home, on the edge of a lake. A big dock with a sleek ski boat. Two kids and a dog running to pile into the boat for a day on the water. Plenty of land with space for a garden where I can grow veggies, herbs, and fruits. A giant screened in porch off the back of the house where I can sit with my husband and look out at the lake with a book in my hand, blissfully removed from the bugs!
I work A LOT. Like all the time. And my dream doesn’t include me sitting at my desk or traveling for work. Although I LOVE my job and it is very fulfilling to help people, I want to get to a point where I can live off passive income with rental properties. This is a massive goal, but one that I continually save and work for. I hope that framing this crayon dream will help me strive harder to achieve it!

I felt the same but I did it anyway! And it helped me to refresh my priorities. Glad it helped you too.Sydney Ash wrote: ↑06 Nov 2022, 22:04 At first, I thought the crayon exercise sounded a little simple and childish. However, I actually really enjoyed doing it. It helped me put my dreams and goals into a physical item I could touch. I also drew a mercedes, a G-wagon to be specific!

Ok this is fabulous. I love the specificity. Get it!Kelsey Roy wrote: ↑06 Nov 2022, 22:13 My husband and I recently bought our first home- a major life goal for both of us! This has had us talking about our dreams frequently and what goals we can set to achieve them. I did the crayon exercise and thought afterwords about how cool it would be to frame it and hang it, to continually look to my dreams to reinforce my goals and hard work.

Love this - thank you for sharing!Alice Fu wrote: ↑13 Nov 2022, 02:53 I did the challenge! It surprised me how little I truly thought about what I wanted for my future. The type of place i envisioned was rather unconventional, however, realistically, I would just want a place big enough to hold a personal creative outlet. I imagine a life where I have the freedom to create whatever I'd like, with a simplistic car to get around. I think that life would be simple enough to reach the 3 highlighted goals in life.

I decided to add more to what I would like to achieve mentally and physically - I want to complete my yoga hours, be more active with the kids, and therapy, and improve communication. I think this is a great start for me and I will keep adding to my crayon board and see where it leads me! Such a great exercise if you put your mind to it.

I feel like I would need to pick it up again on Kindle and go through it more slowly. While audiobooks are handy some books are just ment to be read.
