An inspired heart is capable of anything. The truth is, though, that you cannot build a dream on good intentions alone. A goal that is not planned is simply a wish and a dream that is not chased will remain a fantasy: the longer you let that dream go, the longer it will take to come back. And how easily we let go of dreams! Reality, with its 'black & white', rational thinking, limits our ability to unleash our imagination and potential for creativity: external expectations, limited financial resources, a busy family schedule can wipe all the colors off the canvas of our existence.
In his latest motivational book, DREAM IN COLOR, THINK IN BLACK & WHITE, coach and author Jonathan Bissell claims that, despite a belief to the contrary, the unbound, colorful dreaming process of our childhood days increases our ability to think rationally and strategically. Imagination, matched with determination, wise counsel, practical and actionable solutions, leads to the fulfillment of our dreams. In his approachable and readable guide, Bissell walks the readers through a clear roadmap to personal growth: dream visualization, emotional risk-taking, fear exposure, synchronized scheduling, choice patterns (outcome/operational/ownership) are some of the strategies Bissell recommends in order to maintain focus and prevent self-sabotaging thinking.
Our chances to succeed in the pursuit of a dream are strongly linked to our pattern of choices, and for that purpose the author ties up each chapter with practical "how to" advices, examples and assignments that will prepare the reader to step up to the next stage of his quest. One simple step at a time..."getting started is more important than getting it perfect."
