You have a dream! Now, how do you make it happen?
First, imagine that it is real. See every detail so clearly
that you can reach out and touch it. You can feel the
emotions of being there. For example, if you want a certain
car, then what kind is it? What color is it? Imagine you
are sitting in it like you will when it is brand new. How
does it feel? How does it smell? Go for a drive in your
car. If it's a convertible, drive with the top down!
Experience the wind blowing in your face and through your
hair. Hear the sounds around you. If you can take a real
test drive in one, do that! Get a picture and post it
where you will see it each day. Do this visualization
several times a day until it becomes part of you. This
action is important because your subconscious will help
enable you to reach your goals to achieve your dream.
Next, break the big dream down into specific, measurable
goals to get you there. If you are dreaming of something
that costs a certain amount of money, like the car, you
will set a date on when you want to have this money.
Once you have your date, then break your timeline down
into segments. Perhaps you set the date one year from
today. So the next step is to break that down into
a goal for each month, then a goal for each week, then
a goal for each day. It may be easier to start with
the days, and then multiply out to the weeks and months.
Now that you know what your specific timeline is, you
need to determine the specific actions you can take to
reach each specific goal. If it is a money goal, like in
the example above, you know how much money you need to
put away each day. So now you need to figure out what
actions you need to take each
day in order to be able to
do that.
If your goal is accomplishing a project, your timeline
will be broken down into different steps you need to
finish in order to get the whole project done. For
example, if you are writing a book, you may need to do
some research before you can write it. So the first
major accomplishment on your way to that goal is to
complete the research. Then you need to set a time
to complete your basic outline. Then a time to complete
each chapter. Then a time for editing. You can break
each major step down into little steps that must be
done each day in order to complete the entire book by
your target date.
Now that you see what you will need to do each day in
order to achieve your big goal, ask yourself if each
day's task is reasonable. Be truthful. If you know
you can do what is required each day, then you have
your plan. If it will be very difficult to meet each
day's requirement, then extend your timeline until
you have something you know you can do every day.
This way, you are setting yourself up for sure success!
It's just like the ancient philosopher said: "A journey
of a thousand miles begins with one step." No matter how
big your dream is, if you break it down into baby steps
that you can do each day, you will find your journey to
success filled with the joy of achieving many goals.
Reaching your smaller goals will, indeed, assure you
that you are on your way to reaching your dream! You
will gain the confidence you need to continue and receive
the desire you need to do whatever actions are required
each day!
Celebrate achieving even the little goals, and enjoy
your journey to your certain success!
