Allow Yourself to Dream:

As children we all allowed ourselves to dream endlessly. When you begin maturing however there are always those negative individuals that will tell you that dreaming is not wise. These are often the same individuals that are stuck in jobs they hate who will never pursue their dreams. The first thing you have to do to make your dreams come true is to allow yourself to dream. When you allow yourself to dream you are telling yourself it is fine to think about what “could be”. When you think outside your normal reality, people may think you are a little crazy. Whether or not you share your dreams with those around you, know that dreaming does not make you crazy. It does allow you to begin the journey, however. So, if you really want to be happy in life, allow yourself to dream and you will be able to find what it is that would make you happy.

Create Your Own Destiny:

The number one thing to remember when you must create your own destiny is to take risks. When you want to follow a dream, you will most likely need to take risks to do so. You will have to go outside the box to do this. You might need to make a major life change or even move to a new location. Whatever risks you need to take however will be for the good of your journey. This is the phase in which most people lose track of their dreams. Thinking up dreams is an easy task. Having the nerve to follow them is an entirely different thing. If you have enough guts to take these risks, you will be much closer to your dream than when you began. Remember however that taking risks does not mean you should act spontaneously. If you are considering a major life change, you should always think it through before committing to it.

Define your action steps:

In 5 ways to achieve your goals, On number 3 is your action steps. What is it that you have to do to get to your dream life? Don’t look at it as one big, overwhelming step. Look at it in baby steps. Sit down and make a list of each tiny goal that you have to accomplish to reach that one big dream. Your dreams unfortunately are not going to happen overnight. Life is a marathon, not a sprint.

Surround yourself with positive people:

Nothing will stump your progress like negative people. It would help if you had a mentor or someone that you can call when you are in a slump. Someone that you know only wants the best for you and doesn’t project their own insecurities into the conversation. Someone who will provide constructive advice/criticism to help you get closer to your goal.

For example, When I tell someone my dream, I usually get something along the lines of “You’re living in a dream world. That’s not how life is. You have to work a 40 hours job and pay bills. That’s just the way it is.” Anyone that has any exposure at all knows that isn’t a true statement. It’s only true if I allow it to be. Talk to the thousands of people who work remotely and travel most of the year. People who have no awareness of their own dreams will always make yours seem impossible and futile. You will find that most of these people are often miserable with their own lives. Learn to ignore these people and if possible, avoid them.

Believe It until It Happens:

Sometimes it is difficult to believe that you can make your dreams come true. Often the fear of failure takes over and corrupts the entire plan. The last thing you need to do to make your dreams a reality is to believe in yourself. Now, this is much more than just having self-confidence. This is about knowing in your heart that what you are doing can work out. If you believe in the dream enough and are willing to do whatever it takes to make it a reality, then you will be a success. It may not be an easy road, but the rainbow at the end will be worth the effort.

If you come to a point where it just does not look like you can muster up any more motivation, you should keep on believing. Pretend that everything is working out and that life is great to get through the difficult times. When you pretend to be positive, sometimes positive things come to you. So, try to keep your dream in focus as you go through the ups and downs of making it a reality.
