Reclaim Your Dreams – An Uncommon Guide to Living on Your Own Terms by Jonathan Mead
Who needs another self development book? Perhaps it’s time for a fresh, unconventional approach.
Reclaim Your Dreams
There is nothing like seeing and hearing the dreams of your grand children. Talk about getting a person to look back and reflect on all the dreams you had over the years.
When children dream, anything is possible. Something happens to most of us as we grow older and further away from those innocent days of childhood. We seem to lose sight of our dreams, we fall in line and live our comfortable little lives.
Are you stuck in a rut? Are you stuck in a dead end job, or having trouble getting your internet marketing business, or any business to the next level? Are you happy with where you are in life? Yea, I know, too many deep questions. Ready to reclaim your dreams?
But seriously, at the very least, ask yourself this one: how have all those self help books and courses worked out for you? Quite frankly, in my opinion, most of them just plain suck. Most of them just try to teach how to mask the real reasons why we struggle to achieve our goals.
What the hell happened to our dreams?
“Life is what happens while we are busy making other plans” – John Lennon wrote that many years ago. The phrase still rings true today. We go through life with big plans when we are young, then things start to change as we get older. We have responsibilities, families, children and some of us have grand children or even great grand children. Hard to believe we were once young and free to have big dreams. Who ever said that we had to lose sight of our dreams? Have you realized all of your dreams?
Sure, some of our childhood dreams change as we grow older, some become even bigger. We had the world by the stones when we were young, didn’t we? We had all the answers too, our 14 year old granddaughter sure knows everything, just ask her. Reclaim your dreams can help us get our stones back.
Self help books stack up and go nowhere
One thing I’ve never lost sight of is my dreams, though they sometimes get pushed to the back of the line. Let’s face it, life happens, thanks for pointing that out John. We try to keep our dreams alive, read self help books, listen to self help tapes. Maybe even try using subliminal techniques in an effort to trick our minds into finding whatever success we seek. Sound familiar?
While some of the self help products on the market may work, much of it is pure crap. Rehashed, repackaged and resold as some new breakthrough to help us reclaim our dreams or reach our big goals.
Jonathan Mead – Unconventional wisdom from an unconventional source
Jonathan breaks onto the scene with his take on self development. As a grandpa, I have to say that Jonathan is beyond his years when it come to wisdom and I have even written him to say so. His style of writing and views on the subject of self development are refreshing.
Rather than a one size fits all approach, Jonathan goes after the root of the problem and shows you how to find the answers that fit you. “The point of living is to enjoy life” says Jonathan. Think about that for a moment, do you wake up energized and looking forward to the life? Or do you hit the snooze bar on the alarm, dreading another day of the same old stuff.
In part one of the book, Jonathan pulls no punches and goes into great detail on why we are who we are. The brainwashing we all endure and why we get in our own way when it comes to our dreams. Going right to the root of the problems we all face with detailed explanations on how we fall into the typical traps. Jonathan nails down all the reasons why many of us get stuck.
For me, Reclaim Your Dreams – An Uncommon Guide to Living on Your Own Terms, really is uncommon. By taking on the roots for why we are who we are, Jonathan makes it clear how to make the corrections needed to live life on our terms. His blunt, straight to the point writing style makes the book fun to read. Part one goes right for the jugular and shows how to overcome the mental obstacles that get in the way. Time to stop falling in line with what is expected and become who we are really meant to be.
Part one teaches us why, part two dives right into how to make your dreams a reality
Jonathan Mead says “You’ll need to learn to stop living life based on a pre-made template and start following your own path.” Then he goes on to show how to find your own path. He acknowledges that we are all unique and there is not a one size fits all manual. I think this is where many of the other self help books and courses fall short.
Reclaim Your Dreams
So how many books on achieving your goals or dreams are in your stack? Perhaps it’s time to break the mold and go for a little unconventional wisdom.
Instead of the same old template based steps that never seem to fit. Creating your own road map that is specifically designed for you seems a better way to a better life. Jonathan walks you through a series of exercises and provides the tools needed to create your own plan.
Stand up, dust yourself off, and reclaim your dreams again!
Reading Reclaim Your Dreams and going through the exercises is a bit like opening all the doors that have been slammed shut over the years. Life becomes very bright when all the doors are open.
Jonathan Mead says:
We’ve been conditioned to believe that we need to keep our heads down and follow a template for living.
It goes something like this: Go to school, go to college, find a job that you kind of like (but really don’t), get married, have some kids, save for retirement, and slowly give up.
As a grandpa with four beautiful granddaughters, I’ll say it again, Jonathan Mead is wise beyond his years. Pick up your own copy of Reclaim Your Dreams and see for yourself. Reclaim Your Dreams changes the game!
