As I walked on the ocean floor, I took a deep breath and smiled. This was accomplishing one of my Big Dreams.
As a boy, I was thrilled by watching the Disney live-action feature film 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea. I saw a team of men walking on the bottom of the ocean.
Later, I enjoyed James Cameron’s film The Abyss which also included deep sea divers.
To get to the point of walking on the floor of the ocean, I had to overcome two fears related to Sharks! and to the claustrophobia of wearing a diving helmet.
Some days before my trip to the Grand Caymans, I practiced wearing a hood and visualizing that I was fine while wearing the helmet and walking on the ocean floor. Positive visualization helped.
I also asked about the presence of sharks, and I was informed that where I was diving sharks found the noise of various ships and the busy port to be off-putting.
Here’s what I call the “Miracle Moment” to Really Achieve Your Dream:
It’s the moment you connect with Something More Important than Your Fear.
Fulfilling my dream of walking on the ocean’s floor was more important to me than my fear.
Courage is not the absence of fear but rather the judgment that something is more important than fear.” – Meg Cabot
Now it’s your turn.
Take a sheet of paper and write down your answers to these questions:
- What is your Big Dream?
- What do you want to do?
- What fear(s) are connected to what you need to do to accomplish your Big Dream?
Finally . . .
What about your Big Dream is More Important than Your Fear?
This is connected to what you want to feel when you’re realizing your dream.
As an Executive Coach, I often help clients move beyond their comfort zone and to accomplish extraordinary things. I help my clients connect with Big Energy (which is heartfelt) and then they have something More Important than their fear.
Take the time to really connect with what moves your heart. Then, from this foundation, spring up and make progress to accomplish your dream.

Great shot, that’s amazing Tom! Positive visualization is a must. If you stay in fear, you actually attract that worst case scenario (law of attraction) …always sage advice to visualize and feel what you WANT
