Do you have a dream that just wont go away? Is it like a little kid at an adult party and everyone says scram…go find somewhere else to play. There’s no place for you here.
Chances are your dreams have been knocking at your subconscious for quite some time. What if you let it out? Could ruin all that you have now or…is it possible…that it could be everything you ever needed?
That’s right, NEED. Dreams have very little to do with what you want but rather what you need. Dreams hold inspired blue prints to what you are at your core. Your unique gifts that add value to the world and ultimately make you the most happy.
So why are you fighting so hard to keep the little kid out of the party? It’s probably the most fun you’ll ever have!
The time is now! You have everything you need and there is no reason to wait.
Keep Your Daydream is a podcast about people that have left normal to pursue their dreams of Travel and Adventure. 57 interviews have shown trends in the way people dream and more importantly how they make them come true.
Here are three ideas to help you turn your dream into reality!
#1 There Are No Bad Ideas
Document: Write down your ideas, plans and dreams. Keep them in one place. Your mind will bring you so many nuggets if it knows you will give them a chance and keep them safe. See what starts to trend in your idea journal – you’ll be amazed!

Here are some episodes that explore what a simple idea can become in your life.
Ep. 41 Dinner in the Sky – David Ghysels
Ep. 47 Full Time RV Family Travel – Craig and Bryanna of Crazy Family Adventure
Ep. 50 Location Independence – Jason Moore
#2 Change Your Habits – Change Your Life
Incorporate: If you would like to sail…subscribe to a magazine. Learn the lingo. Don’t have the cash to buy the boat of your dreams? Live in a completely landlocked area? Go online…watch every YouTube video you can feast your eyes on…(I have). Then go online and find a site looking for crew. Yes! You will be blown away by how many people need help with a passage (for free) if you are willing to stay up late and work as crew. Put this same principle to your specific dream and find an opportunity to incorporate it in your life at any level.
“Your life does not get better by chance it gets better by change” – Jim Rohn

Ep. 37 Married with Luggage – Warren and Betsy Talbot
Ep. 55 Climbing Everest – Brian Dickinson
#3 Get Started!
Flexibility: The process of doing, creating or going is the engine in driving yourself to the dream destination. Sometimes people stop before they arrive because the road is not what they envisioned. We all know the fastest way from point A to point B is a straight line. Unfortunately, on the road to your dreams there is rarely a autobahn or strait path. Its more like: curve, turn, dip, summit…repeat. But you’ve been doing this since you were a baby. You didn’t come out walking. There was a process. You crawled…then walked…then ran. But it did happen, you will become what you think about. You will accomplish your goals and dreams. Don’t be afraid of a little flexibility along the way. The twists and turns will teach you and you be astonished by what you have made your life become!

Here are some episodes about DOING!

Ep. 40 Taking the Leap Toward your Dreams – Jodi Low
Ep. 53 Creating your Bucketlist Lifestyle – Chase Boehringer
Hello, I have just recently found you guys and I absolutely LOVE you all. I honestly envy you and your life style. I believe at least I hope I can do something similar. I am a widow with now an empty nest. The last 6 years since my husband passed have been very difficult. My health is not good ( but better). I so want to hit the road and see some new things and meet new people and LIVE a little before it is too late.
I need to sell my house with not much money in it but I am believing it will be enough to get started. My brother is willing to go along and be a driver and friend. Thank you for the hope and the insight to this lifestyle.
Hey April! How is this going for you? I pray this dream comes true for you! We are pursuing F.I.R.E. So we can do this too. I always worry about missing my window of opportunity as well. Best of luck April!
