Making Our Dreams Come True When It Comes to Money

Julie Murphy • Jan 22, 2022

If you’ve got a burning desire to make change in your life financially, I want to empower you to know it’s all available to you. When it comes to making our dreams come true, we all have the potential to reach that goal.  Bottom line, there is enough financial abundance for all of us.  No matter where you are right now or your financial situation, there’s no better time to start making headway on your dream and open up to allowing the money to follow. 


The most challenging part of course is actually knowing
how to turn our dreams into reality. It’s all very well daydreaming about our greater vision, but we can easily get stumped on the part where we have to start taking the necessary actions. 


Here’s the reality check; it’s no good just dreaming. We have to add a practical action component to it as well.  In this article, I’m going to explore how you can start to really make those dreams come true to create what I call ‘real wealth’ in your life. This isn’t about just growing the number in your bank account, savings funds or investment portfolio. Your dreams have to be all encompassing and come from not only your head, but also your heart. Once these are in alignment, you’re building a solid foundation to create health and happiness in all areas of your life. Your money, after all, is a result of everything else going on. If you’re not making your dreams come true when it comes to money yet, we’re going to dig a little beneath the surface so you can begin to do just that.


Accept, embrace and fully embody that you can’t change who you are


It’s unfortunate that we’re constantly being told that whatever is outside of ourselves is better. There’s an underlying feeling that permeates through us leading to stagnancy and the idea that making our dreams come true is something that will remain a nice thought or only for other people who are better, smarter or more successful.


What you must understand though, is that this messaging is just a story. It’s up to us to truly accept and embrace who we are and build a financial infrastructure around that. I share many tips on how to do this
on my YouTube channel. You need to feel calm and collected about this infrastructure and only then will it be creating a foundation to build upon in a way that’s aligned to your head and heart. When you’re in true coherence, this is when we can really get the ball rolling! 


Remember, money is a reflection of everything else going on in your life. Your money isn’t separate to how you feel about your relationships or health, for example. It’s a
result of those things. The human heart has to therefore come into the equation when building real wealth because otherwise, you will experience some kind of financial suffering. I’m sure if you’re reading this, that will resonate in some way. 


Be willing to accept change and adapt 


The only thing that is guaranteed in life is change and yet as humans, we’re so resistant to it. However, turning your dreams into reality is about being willing to shift gears and get uncomfortable. The most growth and the growth that leads to more radical results, comes with putting ourselves in situations or mindsets that go beyond our comfort zone. It will of course produce some anxiety and challenges, but I’d like you to ask yourself which is worse; staying where you are right now and not moving any closer to where you want to get to, or consciously choosing to shift gears and potentially create a whole new life for yourself? 


If you have a calling to change careers, to get out of that relationship or improve your health, don’t negotiate yourself away from it. Your finances will suffer as a result and you deserve better. You deserve more. Make that change from an empowered place where you are
choosing it before a situation arises and you’re the one that gets dropped or let down and you wind up feeling like a victim. 


Take control, switch gears and within just a short space of time, you’re going to see very different results!


Ask different questions


When it comes to making decisions about our life and money, it’s time to start asking questions from a different angle. Ask questions that come from your
heart and take the logical left-brain out of the equation for just a moment. Why do you have that investment or job? Why are you making that particular choice? Are these things serving you on a soul level? Even if it makes perfect sense on paper, is it worth the stress and anxiety it’s causing you? What would make you happier?


Asking these types of questions can uncover some gems of insight that will really help us to figure out just what needs to change to start making our dreams come true!


Keep things flexible


Similar to what I mentioned above about being willing to adapt and change, we also need to keep things flexible. Whilst I do agree that it’s important to have a goal and stay the course, this doesn’t mean we can’t be flexible. What I see so often with my clients is that they pigeon hole themselves and stay in situations that don’t align with their soul desire or calling because they feel trapped. Are your choices keeping you trapped in a life you don’t want to live? Is the reason why you stay in your job because it offers a retirement plan, or in that relationship because you rely on your partner financially?


We know through research that the day people pay off debts, their level of happiness increases. So here comes another reality check; when we proactively create financial flexibility in our life, we don’t have the need to utilize debt instruments. These instruments ultimately keep us stuck in jobs, relationships and situations that don’t make us happy because we’re stretched to the limit. We don’t change because we haven’t built any infrastructure for flexibility. The only way out of this, is to start thinking about how you can become your own bank and insurance policy. Consider for a moment how good that would feel!


Start saying no

 

Making our dreams come true also comes with saying no to others or situations. This, I fully understand, is hard. Particularly if people-pleasing is something we struggle with. The truth is though, when we’re constantly sacrificing our own needs, it isn’t helping us or the other person. Now, of course I’m not suggesting you decline to help out a friend or family member in times of need, but saying no to always bailing other people out or feeling responsible for getting them out of a financial hole they’ve created for themselves. 


By always being that person who rescues other people, you’re not setting healthy boundaries and you’re also not allowing the other person to live in the expression of what they are creating. When you say no, it’s the most loving and empowering thing you can do for them because you’re giving them the space to educate themselves financially. 


Most of our brain activity comes from our subconscious mind. It makes up a staggering ninety-seven percent of our thoughts and actions. Therefore, we have to work extremely hard on changing our subconscious programming to get different results. By you saying no, it’s helping the other person to change their own subconscious patterning and it’s doing the same for you.


Turning your dreams into reality is absolutely achievable, regardless of where you’re starting from. Once your head and heart are in that beautiful place of coherence, which you can begin to do right now by implementing the tips I’ve shared today, you’ll truly start to become unstoppable!

True wealth goes beyond numbers. It's about inner peace, joy, and living a life aligned with your authentic self.
By Julie Murphy 05 Mar, 2024
In today's fast-paced and money-driven world, many individuals find themselves successful in their careers but can feel like they are missing out on their personal lives. We put aside our dreams of having a family, a relationship, or our hobbies for our career. Unfortunately, this happens to many people, and before we know it, the only friends we have are the people we work with. But what if we could have it all? What if we could have a thriving career and a fulfilling personal life? It may seem impossible, but with the right mindset and approach, it is achievable. Today I wanted to share with you 9 ways that you can bring personal fulfillment and happiness into your life along with loving relationships, the things we crave beyond money. When money isn’t an issue and our career is established, or perhaps we receive an inheritance or a big pay-out, we start seeking something more. We start looking for experiences that money can't buy, experiences that bring true happiness and fulfillment. This is where the concept of real wealth and impact comes into play. It's about knowing who we are and what truly matters in life. If you are searching for satisfaction beyond monetary wealth or seeking a greater sense of purpose in life, I invite you to read this article and join my free IMPACT workshops . These workshops, held every couple of months, are designed to provide you with insights and tools to help you heal the impact money, career, and relationships have on your happiness and success. Mark your calendars the next workshop will be held on Thursday, March 21st at 12 pm CST. 9 Ways That You Can Bring Personal Fulfillment And Happiness Into Your Life 1. Creating a Vision for an Ideal Life: Envisioning our ideal life involves more than just financial success. It's about considering our relationships, hobbies, health, travel, and contribution to society. By understanding what is truly important to us, we can re-direct our life journey toward what is most meaningful and fulfilling. 2. Finding Balance in Life: Balancing career success, personal relationships, and overall well-being can be challenging. It requires setting boundaries and priorities to invest time and energy into personal growth, self-care, and meaningful connections. Real wealth is about finding balance and having it all rather than sacrificing one aspect for another. 3. Defining True Success: Success is often equated with financial wealth, but there is more to life than money. Redefining success means exploring what brings true joy, purpose, and fulfillment. By aligning our goals with our authentic desires, we can experience a sense of accomplishment and fulfillment that goes beyond material measures. 4. Cultivating Healthy Relationships: Building and maintaining healthy relationships is crucial for personal and professional fulfillment. Sometimes, we may feel awkward or uncertain about developing meaningful connections. However, by learning the tools and techniques to establish and nurture strong relationships, we can enhance our overall satisfaction and emotional well-being. 5. Self-reflection and Self-awareness: Self-reflection is a powerful tool for personal growth and fulfillment. Through self-reflection exercises, we can uncover what is truly holding us back. It is only by gaining self-awareness of our beliefs, desires, patterns, coping mechanisms, and approaches to relationships that we can discover our true selves and what we genuinely want in life. 6. Discovering Passions and Purpose: Immersing ourselves solely in our careers and financial pursuits may leave little room for our passions and life purpose. To discover our passions and purpose, we must explore activities that ignite our creativity, joy, and sense of fulfillment outside of work. By aligning with our passions, we can uncover our purpose and bring greater meaning to our lives. 7. Building Meaningful Connections: Surrounding ourselves with like-minded individuals and fostering meaningful connections is crucial for personal fulfillment. When we connect with peers who share similar interests and aspirations, we experience quantum leaps in personal growth. Building a supportive network of people who feel like family can provide a sense of belonging and create priceless moments that impact us for life. 8. Prioritizing Well-being: The pursuit of financial success often comes at the cost of our physical and mental well-being. Prioritizing well-being is the foundation for overall life satisfaction. By incorporating exercise, mindfulness, meditation, affirmations, and self-care routines into our lives, we can achieve a more balanced and fulfilling existence. 9. Mindful Wealth Creation & Management: Mindfulness can be applied not only to meditation but also to wealth creation. By aligning our financial goals with our values and principles, we can create a conscious and purposeful approach to wealth. This approach can have a positive impact on our lives and the world. Make Personal Fulfillment Fun & Easy: Discovering personal fulfillment beyond financial success is possible. It starts with investing our money and time into the things that bring us closer to who we are, help us discover what truly matters, and pave the way for lasting happiness. If our relationship with money is healthy, and we know the right things to do with our money, it can help us feel fulfilled. By creating real wealth in every area of our lives, we can live a life we love.

Quantum Leaps: Surrender to the Flow: Trusting the Journey

Control is an illusion. We can plan and strategize, but ultimately, life has its own agenda. Clinging too tightly to control only creates resistance and blocks the flow of abundance.
