Know What You Want, Why You Want It, and What You're Going to Do About It
Dream Big by Bob Goff is a motivational book that encourages readers to chase their wildest dreams and to overcome their fears in order to live their best life. Through personal anecdotes and practical advice, Goff inspires readers to take action towards their goals.
Many people get sidetracked on the way to achieving what they want in life. That’s often because they’ve forgotten what it is they wanted in the first place.
Don’t be that person. You don’t want to reach the end of your life never having started the things you used to dream about. So, how can you get back on track with your life goals? Start by figuring out who you are.
The key message here is: To connect with your dreams, you have to discover who you are.
There are many reasons why you might have forgotten who you are. Maybe you’re lost in the wrong career or tangled up in a relationship that’s not right for you. Maybe money worries consume your thoughts. If you've forgotten who you are, set aside some time to get to know yourself.
You should approach this as if you’re meeting yourself after a long absence, like reconnecting with an old friend. Understanding who you are requires that you set time aside to do only this. As getting this process right is so important, it’s crucial that you take it as seriously as any doctor’s appointment. In fact, the author has a friend who parks her car outside of a dialysis center each week – not to have dialysis, but just to make sure she takes this process of self-reflection seriously.
Getting to know yourself can be scary. With self-examination, you’ll have to face up to some difficult truths, feelings, and fears. Perhaps you’ll find that you’ve always wanted to live abroad but have convinced yourself to stay put. Or, perhaps, you’ll find that you’ve put off going to college because you’re worried about financial stability. Maybe you’ll learn that what you want, more than anything, is to be a parent – and to do that means ending your relationship.
In order to understand what really motivates you, you’ll have to dig below the surface. Imagine for a moment, that your mind is like a winter scene – large drifts of snow and swirling flurries. To get to the meaningful stuff, you need to reach the deep, silent ice cave underneath the snow. If you can enter that deep place in yourself, you can begin to get back to who you are – and pursue your dreams.
Dream Big (2020) shows us how we can reconnect with our dreams and turn them into reality. Rather than a life half-lived, Dream Big encourages us to dig into our deepest motivations, face our obstacles, and make plans for our most cherished ambitions.
Ich bin begeistert. Ich liebe Bücher aber durch zwei kleine Kinder komme ich einfach nicht zum Lesen. Und ja, viele Bücher haben viel bla bla und die Quintessenz ist eigentlich ein Bruchteil.
Genau dafür ist Blinkist total genial! Es wird auf das Wesentliche reduziert, die Blinks sind gut verständlich, gut zusammengefasst und auch hörbar! Das ist super. 80 Euro für ein ganzes Jahr klingt viel, aber dafür unbegrenzt Zugriff auf 3000 Bücher. Und dieses Wissen und die Zeitersparnis ist unbezahlbar.
Extrem empfehlenswert. Statt sinnlos im Facebook zu scrollen höre ich jetzt täglich zwischen 3-4 "Bücher". Bei manchen wird schnelle klar, dass der Kauf unnötig ist, da schon das wichtigste zusammen gefasst wurde..bei anderen macht es Lust doch das Buch selbständig zu lesen. Wirklich toll
Einer der besten, bequemsten und sinnvollsten Apps die auf ein Handy gehören. Jeden morgen 15-20 Minuten für die eigene Weiterbildung/Entwicklung oder Wissen.
Viele tolle Bücher, auf deren Kernaussagen reduziert- präzise und ansprechend zusammengefasst. Endlich habe ich das Gefühl, Zeit für Bücher zu finden, für die ich sonst keine Zeit habe.
Hol dir mit Blinkist die besten Erkenntnisse aus mehr als 7.000 Sachbüchern und Podcasts. In 15 Minuten lesen oder anhören!
