Your Future is Still Worthy of Vision
“Why your dreams are the fuel for everything you want next.”
Last week, I told you that you still need your dreams. This week, I want to help you understand why—your big Why, with a capital W.
Your future is still worthy of vision.
Because you matter.
And you can have more. More peace, more freedom, more joy—if you believe in it. And then, if you’re willing to strategize for it.
And here’s the thing: It’s your dreams that will give you the fuel to do the hard work, especially when life feels overwhelming. They become the motivation behind the tough money conversations, the sacrifices, and the changes you want to make.
Dreams also help you focus on what really matters. They give shape to the life you actually want, not just the bills you need to pay.
And the best part is that when you revisit your dreams—especially together as a couple—they can bring you closer than ever.
For Couples: The Power of Shared Dreams
So let’s talk about the what and the how. This is action week!
Think back to when you were dating.
emember those long talks about what you wanted in life? The things you hoped for, the adventures you imagined, the kind of home or family or freedom you wanted to build?
That connection was magic, wasn’t it? That’s the power of shared dreams.
Here’s what I want for you: Get really clear on what your dreams are today.
They don’t have to match your partner’s perfectly. You’re two different people. But when you honor what your loved one wants and find the alignment that matters most, that’s where the connection is.
That’s where the power is, as a team.
Here’s How to Begin
Start with yourself.
Take a quiet moment to think about your dreams:
What were they in the past?
What would light you up now?
Imagine yourself 20 years older… then back up to 10… then 5.
Then, set aside some relaxed, enjoyable time with your partner. Go for a walk, sit outside with coffee, have an easy evening together (with a babysitter).
Share what you’ve been thinking. (One of you might have to initiate this conversation, and that’s okay.)
Tell your partner: “I want to hear your dreams, too. It matters to me.”
Here’s the key:
This is not about blaming each other (or yourself) for the past.
It’s not about creating solutions yet (even though I said you’ll need those strategies!).
You’re just dreaming, okay?
But… it’s not “just” dreaming.
It’s essential. It’s the fuel to get you where you want to go, together.
Your Takeaway
Dreaming again isn’t risky. It’s not irresponsible.
It’s courageous. And it’s the first step toward a future that feels amazing!
💜 Your dreams matter. Your partnership matters. And your future is still worthy of vision.
