How to Become the Person of Your Dreams
"What would you like to be when you grow up?" I bet you often
hear this question asked many times when you were still young.
But have you given this question some deep thoughts?
Different people have different dreams. So what's your
aspiration? Do you want to become a doctor, lawyer, pilot, or
entertainer? Or would you want to be like Tom Cruise or Bill
Gates? Let me tell you now, you can become what you want to
become. You can be anything you want to be as long as you put
your mind and heart to it.
Here are some tips and words of encouragement to keep you all
fired up.
Learn as much as possible about the person you aspire to be.
Let's say you dream to become a basketball player. Gather all
facts and information about the sport. Research on the internet,
read books, watch the games and analyze team strategies; in
other words, strive to be an expert.
You must have the desire and passion to know everything you can
about the subject. If you can have a real person to imitate or
look up to, the better. For example, you may see yourself as
Michael Jordan (for basketball), Mariah Carey (for singing), or
Heide Klum (for modeling). Feel, talk, and act as if you're that
person you're emulating. You'll quickly acquire the behavior and
qualities of that person. This formula works like a charm, so
just give it a try.
Take motivated action and start pursuing your dreams. Don't wait
for everything to be perfect. That will never happen. There will
always be bumps and obstacles ahead. The important thing is to
start right now and adjust along the way.
Persist until the very end. Never let failures distract you.
Just keep pushing yourself to the limit. If you think that a
task seems impossible to accomplish, banish that thought
immediately. Your mind has the capacity to bring into reality
anything you desire. As long as you stay focused and patient on
your objective despite any setbacks or discouragements, you will
become successful much sooner than you may think.
