A year from now, you would have wished you started Today.
What's the one thing, you want to achieve to do to experience, a year from Now. That will make you happy and so proud of yourself for starting today.
There is always something, we can start today like saving money, or doing research, enrolling in a course, or even just sitting down and writing down your dream and your goals is a good place to start.
But a lot of time we feel we loose motivation, because we think our dreams are too unrealistic. Truth is every single one of us who both dreams or creates things, face voices of descent, from people that we know, or people that we don´t know, but very often the most deadly voices came from within, and if we don´t take a thoughful aproach to taking on our own unrealistic dreams they just ain´t going to happen.
But if you are up for the challenge, which I think you are, here are five steps that can help.
1- Frame your Dream
We can´t became what we cant invison, so take a picture of your dream in your minds eye, in vivid specific detail, and then translate that picture into words, right down that big dream of yours. You might have heard the power of writing things down, and this easy trick works every time, and some people know about this and just don´t do it.
It´s crazy because the reasarch was conclisive on this, their was a study done by Dr, Gail Mathews that show that you are 42% more likely to achieve your goals, if you just right it down. So first thing to do, is get writing.
2- Filter options and fend off negativity
You got to take responsibility for the energy you allow in your life, fend of negativity as much as humanly possible. You know we know so much more about the brain that we knew 20 years ago, our brains are continuously shaped by our thoughts and our experiences, and you know this to be true, negativity is the most toxic forces of the planet.
Its toxic for your brain, your emotions and for your ability to stay motivated. So please don´t listen to people who are notorious for just being "Debbie Downers", The one thing that people often do, is they talk to the most likely person who is ready to shoot them down, and make you feel like crap.
Don´t give alot of stock to other peoples opinion, unless they actually out their, consistently taking risks and being brave, and are actually making things happen. I mean for example if you wanted to climb Mount Everest, would you take advice from someone who has never attempted to climb. The answer is NO.
So the next time, you seek advice ask yourself " Has this person achieved their Dream, or are they taking any consistent action on moving forward, to achieving their goals and achievements." If not do not use them as a sound board for your idea.
3 - Flood yourself with positive examples
So, once you removed the negative outcome as much as you can, now you need to flood your mind, with positive stories on a consistent basis, of other people who have achieved their dreams. Think about Hellen Keller for example who was blind and death, by the age of two, and with the help of teachers she devolved this extraordinary career in literature, writing hundreds of speeches, S.A´s and books.
You can look up her biography, and see all the falls and stumbles she took along the way, which of course stumbles, falls and failures are inevitable to all of us, and anybody who is worthy of a biography, properly had an unrealistic dream.
So feed your mind with people who stand up, and fight for what they believe in, and make change happen.
4- Fast Forward
There is something known as a fact, when you are on your death bed, you could´nt care less, what people say about your dreams, the single regret that people have when they about to pass is this" I wish I had the courage to live a life true to myself, not the life others expected of me".
It really does not matter, how big your dream is, just follow your heart and create what truly makes you happy.
5- Focus on action
Action is the antidote to fear, you don´t need to take perfect action, you just need to take some action. Brick by brick, inch by inch, step by step, that's how all great thing are achieved. So dreams that are or not unrealistic, are dreams to take action upon, that's were all the growth and excitement begins.
