Hello there, and welcome to the Borealis

experience. I'm your host, Aurora, here in the Rocky

Mountains and Canada. It is above 00. And today I decided to

record outdoors. So you will be hearing my dog walking in the

snow, you will be hearing maybe a little bit of wind. And you

can imagine me standing outside with a tooth and a little jacket

on sunbathing in the winter sun. So today, I want to talk about

dreams and how you can get closer to your dreams, even

though they seem so far away. Maybe he live in a city. And

your biggest dream is to be on a farm one day and to retire in

the mountains. Nobody of your family members has ever done

that. No one of your friends has a farm or is living on in the

countryside. And, yeah, you just have that dream in your mind.

Most of the time you push it down, suppress it. go about your

daily life focus on work, because you have to make money,

especially if you want to reach that dream one day. But what can

you do right now to get closer to that dream. And I think the

farm example is very nice. Because a lot of people right

now are caught in their apartments in a city and dream

of B being somewhere else. And I'm getting too cold right now.

So I have to interrupt liner episode here and go back inside

was a good idea to be outside. But hold on for a second.

Wonderful back inside in the warm. So you have that dream.

And the first thing I would say is every day

depending on how passionate how urgent that dreamers but I would

say every day, put aside at least five minutes and envision

your dream. How do you want that dream to look like and be as

specific as you need. And for some people that can just sit

there and close their eyes and think of it imagine, others need

to write things down. And there might be other options too. But

those two are the ones that I recommend. So you write things

down how you want your dream to look like your future to look

like. And you Be as specific as possible. Like go down to the

windows and the door that you want to use every morning when

you step out. The animals you want it to be surrounded with

the plants you want to grow the location, the people you want to

talk to the vibe that is out there. But you will have your

farm. So that's step number one, put aside a couple minutes every

day. And if you're doing that already, put more time into it

and write things down and vision. How specific you want to

be, the more specific the better. Second point is. You

need to research online and internet is so so sexy because

you can research pretty much everything nowadays. You have to

connect with people who have done that step before who have

moved out to the countryside from a big city. And you can

listen to their stories. You can contact them, you can meet up

with them. Of course, yeah, you got to see how it is with COVID

restrictions. But you have to open your eyes up to people that

have done that step before. And there, it really doesn't matter.

Like, right now we're talking about a farm on the countryside.

If it is a,

I don't know, travel, if it is a car, like something material,

you have to get in touch with people who are there already.

And trust me if they can sense that you're just half as

passionate about it than they are, they will help you because

those people are most of the time open hearted and willing to

help, because they have the compassion, they know exactly

how you feel, not being there yet. So first thing was envision

every day, second thing was put time into research and making

connections. And the excuse, or nobody in my family has done

that before. Nobody of my friends can help me how it

doesn't count, you have to meet up with strangers. And you will

very quickly realize that they will not stay strangers, because

they had a dream once and they were able to reach it. And they

are willing to help you. You must believe in that. Because it

is a very beautiful thing between people that so many

people don't see at times is that when someone is truly

glowing and passionate about something, then it's contagious

and attractive. And people want to help you out. It's in our

nature, we are herd animals, and they will listen to you and also

give you advice you will listen to them. So third point is talk

to your friends and family. And even though they might not have

the same dreams and visions and values as you it is always a

good thing to talk to people that we know and trust and share

our thoughts and our dreams with them. And they might have

constructive feedback and ideas. And if you can sense I always

put people in three category categories. Like the optimists,

the dreamers, the realists, or it's for actually, the

pessimists. As soon as you sense that they're pessimistic about

your idea, your dream, then move away and move on to people who

are optimists. And realists, and dreamers, because those are the

people who are going to lift you up and bring you closer to your

goal. And if you are a loner, if you used to do everything, by

yourself, it is okay to just contact people that you don't

know. But you have to know that you can only reach your goal

through other people. You have to learn to be open and to share

your passion, your why. And then people will gladly support you

or their little network brain is going to kick on and they will

come up with people that you can contact in the future.

So those are the three things I want to give you today. Because

COVID let's be real here sucks. There's no doubt. But I feel

COVID also makes so much time for reflection and dreaming. And

there's going to be the crazy years after this confinement

where people are going to let their hair down and let loose

and I can't wait for it. But now is the time to really envision

your dreams and to start working on your dreams to start making

the connections. And you will see you can get closer and

closer to your dream. If it is baby steps if it is big steps.

Sometimes you will reach a plateau and not move closer to

your dream and that's okay too because maybe something has to

grow and develop first inside of you in order to to go further.

Yeah, you will grow with every step step you take towards your

dream. And you were realized that one day I love you so much.

I believe so much and you you only got to believe in yourself

now. And yeah, I'm very excited to be out there for you every

day. I love your support. I love your feedback. You guys are

incredible. So, yeah, I'm your host of Aurora. You were

listening to the Borealis experience here. Be kind to

yourself. Until next time, bye bye
