When determining what dreams are worthy of your time and effort (and which ones are best just to dream about) you need to ask yourself the question of “Why is this dream important to me?” By asking this question you will uncover its purpose and you will have a clear understanding of whether you should pay the costs it will demand of you to realize your dream! Some dreams will cost more than you should be willing to pay or sacrifice and by defining a Purpose for each dream will ensure you don’t pursue any unworthy dreams.

Dream: To become a public speaker
Example Purpose: I want to become a public speaker to motivate others to get more out of life than they are currently.

To define the Purpose in an existing Dream go to your personal eLife Plan page and click on the Dream in which you’d like to add a Purpose. Once the Dream screen appears select the “Edit” button to edit the Purpose (and/or Dream). Defining a Purpose is Step 2 in the four-step eLife Planning Process.

To define a Purpose in a new Dream you will be asked to complete this in Step 2 of the four-step eLife Planning Process.
