The ‘Dare To Dream’ List | #cp

Very often we hear people talking about what they would do if they win the lottery, and even though money can't buy you happiness, we all like to have a daydream occasionally and think about all the amazing things we would do if we were suddenly rich. While it is essential to practice gratitude and realise that we have more than many people around the world, having the odd dream, or end goal to work towards can be a great motivation. There is a reason that vision boards are so popular, and here are some items that you may want to consider adding to your "dare to dream" list.

Home
Starting with the obvious choice, most people would be delighted with just paying the mortgage off, buying our homes is a wonderful investment, but one that seems a long way off quite often. But imagine phoning Residential Architects and telling them that you have a massive amount of money that you would like to build the perfect house with, and working together on a dream house with a pool, and many ensuite bedrooms. Nothing is impossible, though, and you may not need to wait too long for that to happen. There are many things you can do to get ahead of the game, and those architects are just waiting for your call.

Holiday
We'll see "I need a holiday "at some point in our lives. Usually, after we've had children. And when we say this we are trying to say is that we want to get away from it all for a little while. A family holiday to Florida, or Greece on an aeroplane and leaving all our stresses behind is a dream the most. It doesn't matter where in the world you'd like to go, it could just be an hours drive away, but having that dream to hold onto, or even if it's just a reality that you are paying off right now, is a beautiful way to stay motivated during your hardest days. And providing wonderful holiday memories for your children is a significant part of parenting.

Car
Who hasn't thought of which car they would buy if they win big? A Lamborghini or a Porsche is usually top of those lists. Or more recently a Tesla. If you have enough money to buy an eco-friendly supercar, then you're living the dream. Driving around in your custom built, custom sprayed car, in the summer time with your sunglasses on, is a wonderful dream to add to your list. Never mind other people's opinions, why not have a bright yellow car if that's what you want? It's your money (real or hypothetical) after all!

Everyone's list will look a little bit different, and if you suddenly come into a lot of money, then having a clue on where that will go is a great plan. Also imagining yourself in a happier place can actually do wonders for your positivity. So why not try dreaming of your own scenarios? And seeing where you end up!
