Big Fat Hairy Audacious Dreams

Big fat hairy audacious dreams are the only ones worth having. These are the dreams that look impossible and probably are impossible.

But they are your dreams and you are going to do everything you can to achieve them, even though the world is shaking their heads.

Big fat hairy audacious dreams are those that look impossible. Join me and learn why it's important to set impossible seeming goals for yourself

“It’s kind of fun to do the impossible” ~ Walt Disney

The above quote was my inspiration. Fun to do the impossible. What in my life did I want to do even though it looked impossible?  I didn’t have an answer at the time.

In January this year I found my answer.

Jason and I set a year-long goal that looks impossible. The ways life can and possibly will work against our goal are many.

It takes a lot of sacrifice.

It means a lot of self-denial.

It is hard.

It very well may be impossible.

But we are trying. We are willing to sacrifice, to deny ourselves our wants, and we are working hard. And maybe, just maybe, we will actually do the things which looks impossible.

We are 4 months into our year-long goal, and we’ve actually managed to achieve the monthly portion of our goal every month so far.

Our big fat hairy audacious dreams:

To make 2x house payments every single month this year. With the ultimate dream of paying off the rest of our house within 5 years. So we can save a little more and buy our dream home in the country within 7 years.

It is a HUGE dream!

I sometimes shake my head in doubt. We don’t even know if it can be done, but if it can, WE ARE GOING TO DO IT.

Yes. I just typed all caps. Yes, I’m kinda yelling. And no, I don’t care! 🙂

Join me at Growing Slower where I’m sharing more about our big fat hairy audacious dreams and how we plan to achieve them.

It seams impossible until it is done.

      Thanks Bobbi, that was our goal last year and we came really close. In fact we were short only 1.2 payments. I ended up pregnant again much sooner than expected and I had to quit my job 3 months sooner than I intended. Were it not for that we totally would’ve made it. All the same I’m glad we set that goal because it put us so much closer to our long term goal!

    Hello, my husband and I are on the same plan ongoing. We have one year left to pay off the mortgage. It is thrilling and emotional for me. I am so excited to grow our legacy for the Lord.
