The Power of Creating a Dream List
In the words of Gloria Steinem, “Without leaps of imagination, or dreaming, we lose the excitement of possibilities. Dreaming, after all, is a form of planning.”
This is why it’s so important for us to remind ourselves to think big and set big goals for ourselves.
Anyone can create a dream list and it only takes a few minutes to start. A dream list is essentially a list of goals that can include places you want to see, people you want to meet, things you want to do, etc. It’s a blank canvas for you to paint the grandest vision of your life and manifest your dreams on paper. Specifically, it’s an important reminder that you have the power to make your dreams possible.
Dream lists provide the perfect channel for us to think big and write out the things that we want to do, see, feel, and accomplish. Additionally, they can provide a positive outlet, give us something to look forward to, help us prioritize our passions and interests, or realize that we’re ready for a big life change.
You can live the life that you imagine.
The dream list is the blueprint and first step toward making your dreams happen.
Have you dreamed of traveling to England (I know I have!) or wondered what it would be like to be your own boss? Do you want to get in shape, start your own business, fall in love, write a book, or take a much needed vacation? All of these goals are possible and they start with dreaming.
Where do you see yourself in five years? In five months? Creating a dream list today can help you realize what you want in life. It’s one step closer to making your dreams happen!
Ready to get started or add to your existing list? These are my favorite dream list examples (perfect for referencing when you’re creating your own dream list):

The most important takeaway: The dream list won’t work if you don’t.
Be sure to be realistic when creating a dream list. Remember, all of your dreams are goals waiting to be accomplished. Take time to write down the steps that you may need to take in order to make them happen. Consider giving yourself a deadline for each step. Is a vacation one of your dreams? Plan out the steps you need to take to get there!
