“When you have done all you can do, leave it alone. It’s not in your control. Trust the process.”

irstly, let me tell you, no one needs consent to dream about a different future. I have a lot of friends that dream of living on a farm, keeping horses, starting a new career, having a baby or indeed living in France and why not? Your dream, may be in the making, just around the corner or many years down the line and that’s also okay. You may have a retirement dream as I do! Many of us do, so how do you keep the dream alive throughout the years? Write it down – keep a journal Work for it – do whatever it takes Talk about it – join likeminded groups Plan for it – make a timeline of events to get you there Save for it – start making the financial changes needed to achieve it Educate for it – learn the language or new skill Believe in it! Believe in yourself! Travel there when you can – take holidays exploring where you want to live or work Watch programmes/read books on it Take legal and financial advice Keep experimenting Don’t listen to people who have negative opinions about your dreams Keep fit and healthy for it Understand the visa, working and/or immigration issues Investigate the possibilities Get professional advice where needed Keep your dream fresh and alive! Dream small or big, it really doesn’t matter!
