The greatest mindset which is common
to every go-getter is the ability to Dream Big Dreams. Dreaming is free, so you’re allowed to dream it
big. All great minds had to dream hilarious dreams before they worked that
dream into a reality.
Imagine having no limitations. Imagine
you have all the money in the world, all the educational certificates, all the
human and natural resources; imagine having all these things in your
possession. What kind of life would you carve out for yourself? Never be afraid
to go after that life.
Everyone has a dream, but the size of
the dream depends on individual’s ability to stretch it. Dreams are elastic; how
far you can stretch it would determine the size of your achievements. Dreams
are risky, if you can’t dare the impossible (challenging dreams), you can never
accomplish even the little possible achievements. How far have you stretched
yours?
Dreams are divine, every man has
different races to run but only you can run yours better. No one else would
understand your dreams better than you do, that is why it is very important we
run with our dreams even when it looks stupid to others. Stand alone if you
have to, run alone if no one wants to follow you, do all it takes to see that
your dreams don’t forever remain a dream, work with it till it becomes a
reality. When your dream finally becomes a reality, people then will start to
follow your lead. But until then, do what you have to do, even if you do it
alone – you will do great things when you start dreaming big.
“Always remember that you
have within you, the strength, the patience, and the passion to reach for the
impossible”
Children dream big: it’s part of their
genetic set-up. If you are to ask a child what he would like to become when he
grows older, you’d be surprised at their response. You will hear something
like; I want to become a pilot, build 3 houses and 5 cars. You cannot take this
attribute out from them. We can all as adults, learn a thing or two from
children and the way they dream. Dreams are the touchstones of our character.
“If your dreams don’t scare
you, then they’re not big enough…”
The only thing hindering you from
achieving all that you’ve set your mind to achieve are the limitations you’ve set
for yourself. The values of our dreams are not measured by the outcome, but by
the inspiration that comes from the journey of achieving them.
What are your BIG dreams?
Is it to become the President of your nation?
Is it to become a pilot?
Is it to be a prolific writer and speaker?
Is it to be a great musician?
Is it to be the best footballer in the planet?
Is it to be a professional businessman?
Whatever your dreams are, do not give up along the way. Do not let
the present story of your background put your back on the ground. You are
never too young or too old to dream. Never make excuses as to why you cannot
achieve your dreams; there is something greater and stronger in you than any
difficult situation around you. Be the first to believe in you.
“Every dream is attainable and
achievable; Dream it, Believe it, See it, Tell it, Plan it, Work with it and
finally Enjoy it”
To get to the level of success we
dream of, we would need to set new stronger boundaries, new company of friends,
create self-awareness, develop more self-confidence, get a deeper understanding
of who we are and what we want and be more committed.
Steps To Achieving Big Dreams
- · First, understand and believe that you are unique.
- · Write out your dreams. Make them plain and easily readable.
- · Break out of your comfort zones.
- · Break your long term goals into short term goals. Break them into small tasks you can do daily. Dreams are easily achieved this way.
- · Attach deadlines to your dreams.
- · People will discourage you along the way, but remain committed to your dreams. Perseverance is the key to great success.
- · Focus more on your dreams and less on the challenges and difficulties.
- · Don’t wait for anyone’s endorsements. Walk alone is you have to, stand alone if you have to.
- · Express yourself freely in your own way. Don’t attempt things the way others attempts it, feel free to learn from your own experiences (though you have to plan well along the way).
- · Take daily steps and tasks that ultimately lead to your dreams.
- · Remember, you don’t have to be rich, famous or popular to achieve your dreams; you just have to be a person who believes in his dream.
- · Learn to take responsibilities for your every action. This way, you will develop the hunger for more success.
- · Be a reader. Readers are leaders. When you read articles written by wise authors, you not only learn new things, we also tap into the minds of these authors.
- · Never underestimate yourself.
- · It is good to be a dreamer, but it is better to be a dreamer and a planner.
- · When the going gets tougher, you have to get tougher too.
- Above all, seek God's wisdom always
