We all have hopes and dreams, we all have moments where we drift of in to our own mind and think about what the future would be if you could just reach one of your goals or dreams. The strange thing is that for 70% of the world’s population that’s all they ever are, hopes and dreams. I mean what would your future really be like if you could actually achieve these, you wouldn’t be thinking about them, you would actually be living them. So, what is stopping you right now going after them, what barriers are in your way that are stopping you reaching for the stars and giving it everything you have.
Answer: Nothing, that’s right nothing is stopping you, so read on and let us look how we can make our hopes and dreams a reality, lets look at how we can change our outlook and never take no for an answer.
Let me just start by saying the only limitations we have in our lives are set and controlled by us. Other people can be negative and block us from our hopes and dreams, but only you have the power to control your reactions and behaviours to these people and once we master the art of that, nothing but nothing can stop us. I assure you I am living proof that no person or situation in life regardless how bad you think it may be can stop you from breaking free and going for gold with every bit of drive, determination and motivation you can muster and once we discover our self-worth the very next step is making our hopes and dreams a reality, let me show you how.
Get rid of negativity: This can be circumstance; it can be individuals it can even be groups of people or even your location. If it is getting you down, making you anxious, depressed, sad, low, down, exhausted then the first step is to get rid of it out your life. Now I understand not everyone can just pack up and leave a location or a home, but you can clearly think about it plan it then put that plan in to place. We won’t reach our full potential if we have things constantly brining you down or upsetting your balance in life. You will always go back to the same problem time and time again if we don’t rid our self of the negativity. A classic example would be a partner be it husband or wife, boyfriend or girlfriend. If these people don’t show faith in you and see your potential and are only too keen to reminded you if short comings or limiting factors, then it’s time to get rid. I walked out on a marriage to a woman I loved with a passion because I knew that she was never going to change or encourage me to achieve my potential, did it hurt, yes very much so but I looked at it like this. For me to be happy in life I need to change what I do I need to change my surroundings and I need to change my outlook and for that to happen I had to walk away from a marriage that I adored. Was it worth it. Undoubtedly yes. I am more content settled and happy than I can ever recall now in life so a little pain short term for endless pleasure long term.
Set realistic goals: So we have a dream sheet and we list from 1-10 in order of priority what we want to achieve. Now let me just say these must be realistic. I want to be a millionaire by the end of the year isn’t a realistic goal even if you’re playing the lottery. However, I want to open and start my first savings account and want to put 5% of my monthly income in to it is. Remember life isn’t free, no one owes you a living you are defined by your choices and you make them so start making good ones and sticking to them, after 1 year of saving and not touching the money you will look at the savings account and be very pleasantly surprised as to what you have achieved. Now if you can do it for one why can’t you do it for two or three you have the ability and the control to do whatever it is you want in life and no one can stop you. Ok so you might not be going out every weekend or buying flash clothing or belongings, but remember the end goal and what we are trying to achieve again a little pain for long term gain. Do you want to change job, do you want to go on a vacation, do you want to find a good partner and smile every day? The goal may be different but the methods are the same for achieving every goal so stick to it and I guarantee you will get what you want in life.
Have Confidence: You are going to have some doubts some days, you’re going to second guess yourself and your going to worry at times where or not this is the right choice. Now if we look back we already know we need to do an ecology check before we commit and I wrote a whole article on commitment to change so at this point when the doubt creeps in you need to read commitment to change on this page and that will re-focus you. You have this, I promise your more than capable of achieving your hopes, dreams and goals. I am so adamant that if you believe you can do it a million per cent you will do it. Have the confidence that you will make it happen, Don’t waiver or second guess yourself. You have decided on it and you have started it so follow through and keep going until the end result is in sight and it will be in sight quicker than you think.
Visualize it: Stop think about what you want, close your eyes and picture it right in front of you. Now turn the colour up as bright as you can make it. Turn the volume up so you hear every single sound, notice every single part of your dream in bright beautiful bold colour and sound. Now hold it and look around imagine you are right there living it. Smiling, I think so. Now do that every day and notice how good it makes you feel. Now if it makes you feel that good just visualising it imagine how good the reality will feel. You hungry now, do you want it even more now. Do you want it yesterday? So what are you waiting for?
Don’t be afraid of failure: No one has ever made their dreams a reality first time around and if they say they have I think they may be stretching the truth. Failure is going to happen, set backs will occur. Don’t get deflated, don’t get down or disheartened and give up the first time we fail or have a setback. Get right back up and get right back on it. Go at it every day a million per cent and don’t falter. Drive, determination, focus, energy, diligence. These are all the things we need to make our hopes and dreams a reality and we all have them inside us I know for a fact we do and I also know everyone is more than capable of achieving everything they want in life and with the right guidance and direction it is much easier than you think.
