Do you know who you are, what you want and why you want it? These are three questions I’ve been exploring about myself after being selected to join the launch team for Bob Goff’s new book, Dream Big.
It’s the kind of conversation I tend to put off having with myself until I feel like the time is right. But when something disrupts my routine like this pandemic has, I’m more inclined to reflect and adjust my focus.
Gain Clarity and Take Steps Toward Your Biggest Dreams
Reading Dream Big made me feel like I wasn’t just daydreaming about what my life could look like in the future. It felt like I was sitting around having a deep conversation with an old friend about my childhood dreams, what held me back from going after them and what I still want to pursue. But instead of just leaving me with the warm and fuzzy feeling of a good conversation, I left with a clear list of my ambitions and action ideas for how to pursue my biggest dreams.
It can be difficult to take an honest look at who we are, where we are and what we want, but as Bob describes it, “Here’s what makes it worth it: when we sort through all the words written by ourselves and others, and when we discard what isn’t true or doesn’t matter anymore, we’ll find the clarity we need to choose the desires that are worth pursuing. What’s left over will be your truest, most beautiful, and lasting ambitions.”
As he pulls you into this soul-searching conversation in Dream Big, Bob weaves his own personal anecdotes together with stories of friends he’s met throughout his life to present interesting and insightful life lessons that inspire the reader to leave behind limiting beliefs and distractions to boldly pursue meaningful ambitions.
Concluding with a generous section of reflection questions and action ideas for uncovering and taking steps toward your biggest dreams, Dream Big provides a practical launching point for wholehearted pursuit of your most fulfilling ambitions.
The questions and action ideas come from Bob’s Dream Big Framework, a 2-day workshop that has helped thousands of people define and accomplish their dreams.

“Let’s stop deferring, ignoring, and screwing around, distracting ourselves with things that won’t really matter next week, much less in our next life. Let’s instead throw our efforts and emotional weight into those ambitions which will outlast us and leave all the rest behind.”
