In the words of Ange Weiland Crosby:

“A dream birthed from soul is sacred and deep.”

When we engage with clients, we are always aking them to consider their goals and objectives as part of developing their financial life plan. Asking them for what they dream to accomplish in their lives. Your dream is the reason for the way you are. Your dream is not a coincidence. Your dream is who you are. You should pursue it. Your dream gives you a sense of meaning and purpose, and drives you on into your chosen future. Your dream is the meaning of your life. Get your dreams off the shelf. Focus. Strive. This is how things were meant to be. Everybody has goals and dreams. These dreams are at the center of who you really are. It is the core essence of who you are as a person, and the very purpose of your being. You were gifted with a set of dreams and talents, in the hope that you would act out these passions, follow your dreams, and thusly move forward in life. It’s really a great pity that we’ve been told already since early childhood that we should stop dreaming and start living. What a mistake. Living is dreaming. This is exactly why we are here. To pursue our dreams. Not for selfish reasons, but for the sake of everybody. When I reflect on my dreams, I am becoming a better person; a happy person. If I decide to forget about my dreams, then I will become like a plant without water or sunlight, leaves hanging down, begging for water and looking rather miserable. Am I of any help to myself or to the world when I abandon my dreams? Your dream is the reason for the way you are. Weiland Crosby tells us that dreams are birthed from our souls. Sacred and deep. Your dream is not a coincidence. You should pursue it. Your dream gives you a sense of meaning and purpose, and drives you on into your chosen future. Your dream is the meaning of your life. Why then does it seem to be so difficult to follow your dream? First, because of the anti-dream program running in your head, a program installed when you were just a kid. Second, because your dream is always outside of your comfort zone. Pursuing your dream requires conscious effort, growth and change; this can feel somewhat uncomfortable in the beginning. You may experience some fears and worries, but this is normal. Don't focus on the fear, but focus on the dream. This way the dream becomes more important to you than the fear. Spending your life in fear and worry surely isn’t the plan. The choice is yours. As long as your dreams appeal more to you than your fears, you will find the energy and courage to move on. Your dream is your calling, something you have to do to fulfil you. Commit yourself to it with your entire being. Have faith, take action, and then watch what happens. Your dream is linked to your mission here on earth. Your unique calling in life. The seeds of your dream have been sown in your heart and mind, and it is your job to help them grow, to develop your talents. Usually your dream will involve being of service to others to make their lives easier, better, and more joyful. The key is making some contribution to the betterment of humanity. Choose to follow your dream. It is your responsibility. You must do it. By following your dream, not only do you please yourself, but you are also uplifting the whole of humanity. The more you pursue your dreams, the more exciting your life becomes. That’s .

In the words of Ben Robertson:

“It is a great comfort to a rambling people to know that somewhere there is a permanent home. Perhaps it is the most final of the comforts they ever really know.”

I do it a lot. Going out rambling. A walk with no specific goals or agenda. Let your heart take you where it wants you to go. We live our lives with defined goals and agendas. Let it go. I do. When I reflect on rambling, I have come to realize that this much more formalized then I knew. There are rambling clubs and websites that can teach you all you want to know about rambling. Whether it is wandering or rambling. Call it what you will. Its interchangeable. Consider this How do you like to keep fit? Do you enjoy yoga, swimming, the gym? One of the less talked about but equally impactful forms of exercise seldom talked about is good old-fashioned walking. An ever-increasing number of people in the Canada are realizing the benefits of walking and rambling, as it is also known. Indeed, many clubs are dedicated to rambling and their members who call themselves ramblers enjoy lengthy walks around rural and countryside areas and use it as a means of not only regular exercise but also a handy way to socialize. Robertson reminds us that it is a great comfort to a rambling people to know that it is the most final of the comforts they never really know. Who can do it? From ultra fit to out of shape, rambling is not a discriminatory sport, and anyone can enjoy it. Rambling groups often include people of all genders, ages, fitness levels and backgrounds. A good rambling group should always brief you in advance if the walking route that day might be challenging so that you can prepare in advance or sit that one out. The best thing about rambling is that it is low cost. Unlike many sports and hobbies, there aren’t expensive joining fees or subscriptions and you don’t usually need any specialist equipment other than a mobile phone in case you get lost, some comfortable and safe footwear and a bottle of water. There are things that you can buy to make your walk more pleasurable such as hiking boots, base layers, thermals, waterproofs, gaiters and walking poles but none of them are compulsory. If you want to start rambling, then you aren’t obliged to join a club. In fact, many people enjoy the solace that comes from solo rambling. However, if you’d like to make it a more social occasion, enjoy conversation and share tips and routes then it makes sense to reach out to a club. Most regions have several rambling or walking clubs. So this rambling, why is it getting so popular? Rambling is a great activity for introverts who want to get out and enjoy nature with the pressure of social interactions. I often get the question of what is the difference between hiking and rambling. Rambling is usually aimless, slower walks then hikes that don’t have a specific destination is mind. Rambles are often done a group as a leisurely, social activity and an excuse to chat and enjoy surrounding views all in .
