When you are growing up, your world is filled with wonder, great times with friends and time for fun and play. It’s also when your soul’s dreams start to emerge and we begin to imagine what we might be in the future. Then, when we reach adult age we are suddenly thrust into a world where the dream goes dormant and we find ourselves working full-time just to make the money we need to survive. Sadly, that’s the way we are expected to live until retirement.
Society has us penciled in to work endlessly to make money for others for 40 plus years of our life. We typically follow the script without thought until one day we start to wonder is this all there is? With those words our true awakening has begun. The veil of what you were taught you should be is lifted and your soul and spirit come back out to play. It’s finally time to reconnect with your hopes and desires.
Stepping into the Life of Your Dreams
The world calls this awakening a crisis, giving it a pejorative label so it can be dismissed. This moment, though, is a pivotal part of your journey. You are leaving what you were programmed to do and instead choosing your own path. Old dreams begin to re-emerge and new hopes often arise.
It’s time for you to live a life you truly love. When you reach this moment, you should let all the dreams out to dance. If you love travel, begin to imagine how you might see the world and get to live in different countries. If you have a passion or hobby that truly calls to you, do some journaling and come up with creative ideas to pursue that. You have the power to manifest your soul’s desires.
Leveraging Your Assets to Live Your Dream
If you are ready to pursue your new path, it’s helpful to have the money and financial freedom to do what you want. One of the ways you can help fund your dreams is to consider selling your life insurance policy. It’s possible to tap into the value of your policy and get a life settlement that would generate the cash you need to live beautifully.
This is an especially good option if you are further along in age. With a life settlement you basically sell your policy for cash and the investor then receives the death benefit at a future date. If you go online you can find out if you are eligible and determine what your maximum cash value would be. It’s important to do your research so you fully understand your options and know the pros and cons of your choice.
Consider Downsizing and Moving to the Country
One of the ways society keeps your nose to the grindstone is to encourage you to spend more than you make. We are taught that we should have a big house, filled with the best of everything. In reality, you don’t need any of that to be happy. If you wake up every day and get to live the life you love, you will quickly come to understand that much of what we buy barely matters.
In order to have the freedom to pursue your dreams, you may want to downsize so you can dramatically reduce your monthly expenses. If you own a home in a city, you could sell that and pocket the equity. Then you can look for a smaller place in a rural area that costs far less. You’ll find that when you lower your monthly expenses and have some cash from the sale of your home, you won’t need to work full-time to make ends meet. You’ll then have the time to follow your soul’s path and live the life of your dreams.
