The Dream Manager Blog

Our level of commitment tends to waiver depending on a whole variety of factors. Employees and companies were more committed to "a life of balance" before the recent economic downturn than they are at present. I have also noticed that, given the current economic environment, many managers seem less committed to their direct reports. "They are lucky to have a job," I have heard too many say.

But most striking is how many people have gone into survival mode. Dreams have been put on the back-burner. So, I ask you, how committed are you to your dreams? Surely you have some that are not dependent on financial resources... give them priority, and they will reinvigorate your life.

We all have dreams, but are you healthy enough to pursue, accomplish, and enjoy them? In the United States today, more than 95 cents of every dollar spent on health goes to diagnose and treat disease, which leaves less than 5 cents on the dollar to prevent disease... and promote healthy living.

Are you investing in your health? Because nothing will affect the pursuit of your dreams like bad health. Decide to get healthy this summer. Invest in yourself, invest in your future, and invest in your dreams with a new approach to physical health.

Even with the uncertainty that surrounds the economy, many of our businesses, and many people's jobs and personal finances... Many, many people are still accomplishing dreams. At first, it may have been easy to identify dreams by listing things you wanted to own or exotic vacations you wanted to take. Your financial situation may be different now, but there are dreams you can accomplish every month that require no financial support... and that will improve your health, well-being, and relationships.

So, even in times like this, dreams still come true... What dream are you working on this month? For yourself? For your relationship? For your family? For your business?
