Don't let your dreams just be dreams

I think the way how U approach life says a lot about who you are. There are a lot of people who are hoping they hopefully land where they need to be and know what to do when the time comes. Then there are other people, who make actual choices to fully understand who they are and what they want in life and set the goals that will keep them moving in the right direction, and don’t ever give up. But a big part of having a successful life is learning how to cope with the lessons that life has to teach us.

Here are 6 powerful steps that you can use for yourself to making your dreams come true

1. Decide and believe.

Believe in your self and decision, go for it for a full 200% and do not give up. Do not think of ways it can’t, won’t, or shouldn’t work out for us. Stop that! If there’s a word for both deciding and believing in one fell swoop, the word would be commitment. You have to commit to your dream. Don’t just put it in a box and close the lid, never to see the light of day. Decision + Belief = Commitment decide if you want your dream to happen and become your reality. For real. Believe it will and make it happen.. This is the magic sauce that will help propel your dream into reality. If you don’t decide and believe, and therefore commit, well then... as Henry Ford said, “Whether you think you can, or you think you can’t — you’re right.”

2. Release your fear

This step isn’t a one-time event. It’s probably something you’re going to have to do over and over, keep trying every time you notice you’re stuck and you’ve stopped forward momentum. We disguise fear under logistics all the time, well I did: “Oh, I don’t have time to go after that dream, I need to make money!” Sure ya do. So get up earlier. “Well, then I don’t have time!” Sure you do. So get up earlier. “But then I’ll be exhausted!” Here’s the thing. Last year, when I was getting up early, it was a bit though battle. It’s all in the attitude and mindset. I decided it was going to be easy and exciting to get up early to produce every day. I decided it’s not going to be difficult. I decided to get the sleep I need, and not be so dramatic and sacrificial about getting up early. Choose the right attitude. Release fear. Repeat.

3. Take action

You can become bitter or better as a result of your circumstances. Your attitude and taking actio is always up to you. No matter the circumstance, remind yourself that you have a choice. It's up to you to get the results you want. Figure out what you need to DO to make your dream happen. Then go do it. Every day. Learn from others and mistakes but never give up.

4. Use other’s success as inspiration

When you notice someone more fortunate as you, practice saying to yourself, “You know what? I want that, too! I’m going to figure out how and make it happen!” Their success has also been achieved by working hard and learning from mistakes. I think you just need to always be open and learn from others, learn from experiences, be social and network with each other. If we want good things to happen to us, we have to stop judging others negatively for the good things they bring into their lives. Judging and criticizing others is such a silly energy drain. I will go out on a limb here and say that the majority of people who judge others negatively for their success don’t realize they do it, or they don’t realize there’s anything wrong with doing it. Surround yourself with the best ones, and with the people who motivate you.

5. Don’t let bad habits win

It’s so easy to blame our small lives, our tiny, chronic failures on our bad habits, don't blame them. Blame yourself. As we get sucked into the couch, for example, tv and gaming marathons, or watching endless useless videos. We get sucked into pizza boxes and chip bags and some of us (ehem) even get into the habit (and then out of the habit and into the habit) of using beer or wine “to relax” when the going gets tough. Let's not use all our precious energy useless things like our time obsessing about your bad habits, your whole life is going to be a Sisyphean task of rolling the boulder up the hill while you resist, followed by getting steamrolled when you get tired and give up. And yes, I’m speaking from experience. I say this with the utmost kindness and respect to both myself and to you:
GET A LIFE.

6. Your experience and education is never complete

Determine to live really fully and continually learn. Prepare for what life has to teach by being open to the lessons in everything you do and experience. The journey of your success will always begin with the small step of taking a chance. In business, in relationships, and in life, it all begins with a small step grounded in a desire to be better and do better. The way you speak and the things you say have power. Speech gives us the power to create or destroy. You never really lose until you stop trying. The words I can't never accomplish anything. I'll try, on the other hand, can perform wonders. Until you try you don't know what you can do.

That's it folks, keep on living!
