The Dream Build Foundation
This house is for sale.
Oceanfront property.
$99,000.
Sounds like a steal… until you look closer.
What was once the quintessential dream house.
Now on the brink of collapse.
Thing is this didn't happen overnight.
The risk was always there.
Oceanfront living has always been a gamble.
The view is intoxicating.
The status is seductive.
And the long-term cost is easy to ignore
when the payoff feels immediate.
That’s how a lot of dreams work.
As we sit on the edge of a new year,
imagining our “I’ve arrived” goals for 2026,
it’s easy to be drawn to the version that looks impressive, exciting, and validating.
But before you chase the dream,
pause and ask:
What’s the foundation required to sustain it?
If the price is
your health,
your relationships,
your nervous system,
or your sense of self —
That’s not ambition.
That’s erosion-in-waiting
Build dreams that inspire you.
But build the foundation first.
Because that’s what determines whether the dream lasts.
Staying put, sticking with what isn’t working,
hoping things will magically stabilize
isn’t strength.
It’s often the moment energy stops moving.
Refusing to notice that the ground has already shifted
doesn’t protect the dream —
it just delays the reckoning.
Where in your life do you feel the energy asking to move,
but you’ve been waiting for certainty instead?
Posted because I'm sitting in a power pause today to ensure my foundation is being built on solid ground. ALigned AF🔥
