About this listen
Start living the life of your dreams today with the help of this inspiring guidebook from the Associate Pastor at Lakewood Church as he shows how to stop delaying and start enjoying the life you have right now.
Everyone has dreams. Usually, they look like a set of achievements: a dream house, a dream job, a dream family, a dream vacation… However, in pursuing them, we often become disgruntled and disheartened as challenges, setbacks, and opposition come our way. We get stuck focusing on what we don’t have and where we want to be.
Nick Nilson, Associate Pastor at Lakewood Church, offers a different approach to overcome these challenges: a change of perspective. What if we stopped focusing on what we lack, and instead focused on what we do have, and the possibilities our life currently offers us? What would change if you truly believed that God was in the middle of your troubles, disappointment and heartache and actually working all things out for your good!? Imagine if your dream wasn’t a destination you chased, but a mindset you chose?
You Can Live the Dream outlines how readers can harness the power of perspective in every aspect of their lives. Recognizing that you don’t have to wait to live the dream, you can live your dream now.

Story
You were created to be filled with joy, peace, confidence, and creativity. But it's easy to go through life holding on to things that weigh you down - guilt, resentment, doubt, worry. When you give space to these negative emotions, they take up space that you need for the good things that move you toward your destiny. How much room are you giving to shame, to regret, to being against yourself? Whatever it is, it's too much. Life is too short for you to live bitter and discouraged, letting your circumstances hold you back.

Great Book to Move You Foward
What I love about this book is how Pastor Nick incorporated practicality with life experiences and stories and scripture. He gave such great analogies that really stuck with me and drove multiple points home.I think this is one of those books that qualifies as a great rut-busting book. this is a fantastic purchase for someone who's wanting to move forward beyond what they're experiencing now. In a fantastic book for someone that may be moving forward, but at the point of giving up.

Perfect
This book is perfect in so many ways.
I had the opportunity to talk for one hour on a Saturday evening (8/12) at a fellowship Campout which was a 3.5 hour drive each way. (I was suggested that I come up Friday afternoon, so I did)
I turned off the XM Radio - The Message and listed to your book. (I’m not a big reader)
There were so many stories that I needed to hear on the drive. How the Old Testament was weaved into the book is amazing.
I shared the book while having dinner with good friend & his wife with another buddy. The story of Lia. They said, we know that story. We read it to our children from the Kids Bible.
Your book is perfect for a man like me. I have listened to your book a couple times.
In this season, this book was perfect! I’ve been lost trying to understand why I’m at this place again. My faith the past 4 years hasn’t been stronger and marriage has crumbled.
Absolutely nothing happens in Gods world without God. I’m so happy that I saw your book release on a friends story which called me to download. The book is perfect!
Thank you Nick!

Nilson hits the core issues that were stagnating my progress. I hope this helps those in the same place. I love driving and listening to podcasts and books for business and success. This is a great one. The author has an attention grabbing way of speaking, the vibe is very California chill, and the content is more than helpful- it’s got a propelling strength to it.
