Dear Fellow Dreamer: Waking Up, Taking Chances, and Creating a Life of Your Own (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798988677512)

Do you ever have that feeling that there's just got to be more to life?

That's your dreams knocking, and it's time to answer. Not because there's anything wrong with your life right now or because you're ungrateful, but because there are things for you to discover, do, be, learn, and fail at in this one precious life of yours. You get one shot at this life, and how you spend it really matters-to yourself, to others, and to God.

After more than a year of post-corporate exploring, traveling, and doing more than ever before to create a life more my own, it was time to put thoughts about dreams-risking for them, persevering through apparent delays and dead-ends-on paper. Dear Fellow Dreamer: Waking Up, Taking Chances, and Creating Something of Your Own is the result, written for all of us.

This isn't a hustle-hard, sleep-when-you're-dead approach to dreams. This book isn't written by an expert in anything except dreaming, risking, and trying over and over. I'm still figuring it out alongside you, but this much I know: the dreamer life is about making meaningful moves and creating a uniquely intentional life without burning yourself out.

Equal parts inspirational, motivational, and practical, this book reads like a series of letters from one dreamer to another. Because that's exactly what it is. The highs and lows of big dreams? Intimately familiar territory. This book is for kindred dreamer friends interested in getting and staying brave.

There's nothing neat and tidy about being a principled dreamer who chooses growth over comfort and creativity over consumption. But who you become as you move toward your dreams is priceless. Your dreams and your potential are worth every ounce of growth-scrapes, failures, thrilling victories and all.
