If You Can Dream It, Can You Do It?
Chances are, if you have listened to some motivational speakers, listened to their recordings or read their books you most likely have heard this phrase.
“Dream Big and You Can Do Anything!”
Is this true? Can you really do and have anything just by dreaming big? By now millions of people have either seen the movie or read the book, “The Secret” which makes it look that easy. Did you spend your money recklessly in the past and now you are buried under a mountain of debt? Don’t worry about it, just “dream big” of checks coming in the mail and people will start sending you money for no reason. They will be compelled by some force of nature, to write out a check in your name (this is cool because they don’t even know you) and send it to you. I am putting myself out on a limb by saying, “this is a bunch of crap!” The sad thing is, this movie is so popular because so many people want to believe they can get something for nothing. They love the thought of sitting on their ass in their recliner and all their dreams coming true. Wake up people, your dreams will not come true unless you put some action behind those dreams. If you want checks to arrive in your mailbox, what actions are you going to take to make money? Yes you actually have to do something.
If I Put Action Behind My Dreams…Now Can I Do It?
I’m going to burst your bubble here and tell you, no you cannot do everything and anything, though you can do much more than you are doing now and much more than you thought you were capable of. The key word to setting goals is be realistic. For example, I love football and always was very passionate about the game and I know that no matter how big I dream and how much I work out, I will not be playing for the NFL. I am 47 and even if I hire the best trainers available, this dream will never be a reality…it is not realistic.
Action + Realistic Goals(Dreams) = Success
As I said earlier, you are capable of achieving much more in your life than you are currently and I know you have it in you to really surprise yourself and others, so challenge yourself and stretch your comfort zone. Set some big goals for yourself that will really push you to your greatness. Now break that big goal down into smaller action steps. Each action step is a mini goal for you to accomplish and as you conquer each one your self-confidence will be elevated and your energy will be replenished to continue on to your final destination. Before you know it that big goal isn’t so big anymore and it is within reach, your dream has come true.
