So you have a DREAM….but now what? Do you choose to replay your dream over and over again in your head? or do you choose to live your Dreams and live your most Amazing life. You choose between your dream just being a thought or becoming a reality.
Here are 10 ways to turn your dream into reality:
1. Believe It
To achieve a big dream you need to believe in it yourself. It sounds simple, but so many people pursue a dream they feel is too big for them or is really just unachievable. The very first step to achieving your dream is believing that it is possible.
2. Take Daily Actions
Dreaming is nothing without action. Take daily actions to turn your dream into reality. No matter how small, every action you take gets you one step closer to your dream, and every day you take action you build momentum. A small action every day might not feel significant at the time, but over time little things add up. Just imagine what you could achieve in a year if you did one small thing every single day to move toward your dream.
3. Put a Time Frame to It
Time flies, and if you haven’t got a set time frame on something, the hours, days, weeks and months can easily escape you. Put a time frame on your dream to keep yourself moving and accountable. The best way to do this is to set a launch date and then work backwards, setting specific dates to reach milestones along the way.
4. Dream It
Everything starts with dreaming. Imagine the most amazing dream and then dream it. Make it real by imagining what it would feel like to achieve it. What would your life be like as a result? How would you feel every day?
5. Ignore the Critics
Whenever you pursue a dream there will always be people who will tell you it can’t be done. They might be your friends and family, but just because you hold them dear to your heart doesn’t mean they are right. Often when people say something can’t be done it’s only because in their personal experience it hasn’t been possible. Don’t listen to them; you are a unique individual with the drive, motivation and ability to achieve your dream.
6. Share Your Dream with Others
Don’t keep your dream locked away, share it with others. While not everyone will get on board with it, there will be those who do, and these people can be a huge help to you in achieving your dream. The people who believe in you will boost you up when you are down, keep you motivated and inspired, and put you in touch with the right people when you need it most.
7. Drop Your Expectations
It’s tough not to have expectations when you’re working toward a dream. After all, your vision of the future, with its implicit expectations, is what is guiding you. The thing is though, there are so many twists and turns on the way to achieving a dream that rigid expectations can really trap you. Drop your expectations and you’ll set yourself free to pursue your dream without the weight of disappointment when certain things along the road don’t go exactly to plan.
8. Adopt a Can Do Mind-set
A can do mind-set is all about knowing that it is just a matter of time before you achieve your dream. It’s not about if, it’s about when. When you work with a can do mind-set, success is imminent and your drive, motivation and work reflects it. A can do mind-set is powerful because it has the potential to shift your whole perspective.
9. Make Room for Your Dream
For your dream to flourish, you need to make room for it in your life. You need to clear out everything that no longer serves you and make the time and space to work on your big dream. This might mean clearing other commitments from your diary or creating a home office space.
10. Keep the Momentum Going
The most important step to achieving a big dream is keeping the momentum going. Every day that you take action toward achieving your dream you build your momentum and get one step closer. Once you’ve got momentum on your side you become an unstoppable force and success becomes imminent.
