Realization of Dreams
We all have dreams. Some of us dream about winning the lottery
and never having to work again (also the most unrealistic
dream). Others dream of going to college, retirement, travel.
Still others dream of working from their home. Some even want to
run their own business. Whatever your dreams are, the
realization of them is extremely important. We need our dreams
to keep us going.
For many of us our destiny is based on what dreams we have for
ourselves. Think of your dreams as mini goals. There are certain
things you want to do over the next month, over the next three
months, six months, or the next year.
For those of you who believe your destiny is pre-determined and
there is nothing you can do about it, I don't buy it. Yes, bad
things happen. We all go through periods where it seems that
nothing is going right for us. However, you can't sit there
waiting for a miracle to happen. It doesn't work that way. In
order to realize your dreams you have to make something happen.
You and only you control your destiny and the realization of
your dreams. You have to set mini goals for yourself, and if you
have trouble realizing those goals, ask for help. We all have
something we are good at. Some of us, however, need help
developing our skills. So ask for help. Don't just decide you
can't do it. Also don't make your goals unrealistic. Start with
small goals and work from there.
Your dream might be to run your own business. However, before
you can do that you have to become proficient in that area. In
order to become proficient, you may have to take classes or work
a job related to the business you want to run, to gain insight.
Any other number of things might have to occur before you
realize that dream.
While we all have our strong areas, and things that we are good
at, they don't always mesh with what our dreams are. The skills
you need to realize your dreams can be learned, but only if you
ask for help. So, if the reason your dreams are not being
realized is lack of skills, ask someone for help. You won't know
if you are good or bad at something until you try. Yes,
sometimes you might have to put aside certain dreams for others,
however, that is part of the life process.
One of the best ways to move yourself toward the realization of
your dreams is to visualize yourself doing what your dream is
about. If it is retirement, visualize yourself during a typical
day of your retirement. Visualize the home you live in, getting
up, visualize your daily routine.
So, to realize your dreams, remember your destiny is based on
what dreams you have for yourself, and you control that destiny.
