Make that dream a reality! By: Vonda Williams
Ever had the feeling that you are capable of doing so much more but never know how to get there? I too had these plans and ideas stuck in my head and heart but never really knew how in the heck to get from step A to step Z.
I soon found out that not everyone is interested in helping you " crack the code " it ' s just not at the top of their agenda. I wanted to find the answer myself to help others.
I not only want to help those in the same dilemma but to teach the youth to know as well! On my quest to find the answer on how to execute a plan, I started to connect with incredible and amazing successful people that have changed my life with valuable infomation.
I have learned: First thing first, if you plan on moving forward with your same negative small unimaginative mindset, please just stop now. Doing the same thing expecting a different outcome is insanity! But if you really want to make life changing decisions that will get you what you want you will have to work to limit your negative thinkining. Next, have a goal set in place. KNOW exactly what you want. Make sure it ' s a clear goal. To try and have a million goals at the same time will cause you to have scattered focus. You will not have the drive you need to reach that ultimate goal because you will become way to overwhelmed with too much on your plate! Have a clear and decisive vision of what you really want. This vision should be so plain and so clear that you can see it past all current distractions in your life.
Now that you know what you want you need to know WHY you want it. You can ' t reach your goal without having a heart racing reason for wanting to get there. So now you have your goal, and you know exactly why you want to accomplish it, next thing you need to do is BELIEVE. Even though your surroundings could show a total different story you have to believe pass your current circumstances! The one way to do this is to do some cleaning! Get rid of ALL negative garbage in you life. Surround yourself around everything and everyone that are positive and supportive. You will need this when times are tough and when things don ' t seem so promising. When the time comes you will need that extra push of encouragement.
Also, you need to take your plan and break it down in bite size pieces. You CAN NOT eat entire cow in one day, but if you break it down into small pieces and take it one day at a time you will see you have eventually completed all of the steps to get you there. Take small steps every day toward what you want. Small steps done everyday will get you closer and closer to your goal.
There is no need of worrying about mistakes along the way, you just have to keep moving. You can not sweat the small stuff. Every decision you make is a good one even the bad ones. The bad mistakes will pose as lessons. Learn from them and never stop moving!
The closer you continue to get to your goal, stop and congratulate yourself along the way. You will only continue to do things you feel you are successful at. This feeling of success will cause you to press forward for more success! Never leave your eye off your vision. Eat, sleep and breath what you want and where you want to be.
Remember, it ' s your goal, your vision and your plan not everyone in the world needs to know. Have that inner circle that is very small an tight that you can share success with, bounce ideas off of and get advice. These circle of people you can count on to help push you in the direction you seek to go.
Once you have reached your goal( and you will because you visioned it, you believed in it, and you are excited about it) don ' t stop there, reach for higher heights! Think outside your comfort zone! Once you have reached the moon shoot for the galaxy and pull someone with you! Pay it forward!
So there you have it, this should be a recipe to use when ever you strive to reach for what you want out of life and designing your own happiness!
