Read on.
Steps
Part 1 of 2: Prepare a Plan
Step 1. Be specific about your dreams
The first thing you need to do is be specific about what you want in order to make it come true. One way to be very specific about your dreams is to write them down in a journal or notebook. If you don't know what you really want, there's no way you can achieve it don't you think? Nonetheless, you can still take your own path even though you are not 100% sure what will happen next. You simply have to have an idea of what you want to happen and then find a way to narrow it down and focus it as you get closer and closer to your dreams.
- For example, let's say you've always loved writing and want to become a true writer. Now you may not know if you want to write novels, news or motivational blog posts, but by moving in the right direction you may be able to better understand what you like.
- Don't worry if it's not clear to you yet. Maybe your dream is just to find a job that allows you to feel that you are making a real difference in the world. There are many ways to make this happen, and having a broad goal will help you achieve it.
Step 2. Turn your dreams into craving
Your heart will have to burn with desire. A strong will to achieve your dreams will boost your self-confidence and support you in facing the toughest challenges in life. The way to turn your dream into a burning desire is to believe that it is attainable and that you can make it come true. Just looking at it as a generic desire, for example to lose 3 pounds within the year or move to a sunny place without actually doing something to make it happen, you will not be able to take your dream seriously.
After instilling the craving in yourself forget the term dream, because the nature of a dream is easily connected to something unreal. You have to start looking at it as something more
Step 3. Turn the craving into a goal
After you have transformed your dream into a burning desire, believing in its reachability, you will have to make it a goal. To do this you will not only have to believe that it is possible, you will have to be convinced to try. This kind of thinking is based on your commitment, it can be done and I will, and if I can do it then I will do it now. Goals can be linked to time, so add a time frame to give more importance to your commitment.
After you have turned the craving into a goal, leave out the term dream or desire, now it is a goal in your life, a goal that you are striving to achieve
Step 4. Plan
Create a strategic action plan. In order to achieve your goal you will need to create a strategy; normally this type of strategy is called a plan or action plan. There is no universal action plan that is valid for everyone, each strategy depends on the person involved and the goals you want to achieve. For this reason, the key to creating your own plan of action is contained only within you, and it will need to be brought to light.
Write down each point of your plan. Having it in writing can help you feel it more concretely. Just remember that life does not always go as we have planned so it may not be possible to be able to achieve one result after another in order, and that it may be necessary to make changes to some fundamental points of your plan, or even rethink them, to succeed. to make your dreams come true
Step 5. Act now
Once you've turned your goals into specific action plans, it's time to take action and use every opportunity you come across on your way. It's time to let go of excuses, and stop putting off what can be done today for tomorrow. Of course, there are always very good reasons to be discouraged from pursuing your dreams, such as planning your wedding, going through a very stressful time at work, being involved in a significantly complicated relationship, and so on, but if this is your attitude you will end up making excuses endlessly, failing to achieve any of your goals.
In the universe, like attracts like, and where there is a need, opportunities appear. Be ready and be prepared to seize them as you act to achieve your goals, your desire will become even more concrete and your dreams will soon become reality
Step 6. Set short-term goals
. Divide your main goal into small goals, and set dates for each of them. It all comes down to taking small steps. For example, if you dream of writing a novel, you can start by attending a writing workshop in the area where you live, or by testing your hand by writing a five-page story. By throwing yourself headlong into a novel, it won't be easy to achieve your goal without building a solid foundation that will equip you with the skills you need to really make your dreams come true.
When you shape short-term, but also long-term goals to achieve your dreams, it is really useful to listen to the advice of people who are experts in that field, friends or acquaintances who are, discovering what were the paths that led them. to success. Knowledge about your goals will be expanded, and you will realize how realistic they are
Step 7. Review your progress regularly
Once you have embarked on the path that will lead you to make your dreams come true, it is important to understand what you are achieving. Although Rome wasn't built in a day and your progress may not be as fast as you wished, it is important to realize that you are moving forward. Here are some things you should consider when creating your personal progress report:
- If the goals have been reached within the established time frame.
- If you still have the strong desire to achieve your dream.
- If you have made any changes to the path that leads you to your main goal.
Step 8. Enjoy the ride
The most important thing is not to think that your life is terrible and that happiness will only be achieved when dreams are fulfilled. In fact, once you reach them and the euphoria has worn off, you may find that you have returned to your natural state of mind and have a strong desire to make a new dream come true. Such longings and thoughts about the future are perfectly normal, so you should appreciate every single step along the way rather than feeling that you can be happy and proud of yourself and that you can only claim to have a meaningful life after you have achieved your goal.. So enjoy every step on your path and be proud of yourself throughout the entire journey.
Part 2 of 2: Stay Motivated
Step 1. Visualize success
From time to time, close your eyes and imagine what your life will be like once you reach your goal. Convince yourself that you have already realized this and imagine what your mind, home, relationships and thoughts will be like when you have achieved what is most important to you. This is a great motivational technique, especially when you feel discouraged and fear that your wishes will never come true. Visualizing the excitement and joy that will fill your life once you reach your goals will make you perceive them as more accessible.
Step 2. Stay confident
If you want to be successful in making your dreams come true, you can't show yourself negative whenever something doesn't go the way it should or when your dreams seem unattainable. You have to keep your head up, believe in yourself and keep walking forward even if with difficulty. It's perfectly natural to have doubts and ask questions along the way, but in the end, you need to have faith in your abilities, because if you don't believe in yourself, no one else will.
Maintaining a positive attitude will greatly help you maintain confidence. By imagining only the worst that can happen in any situation, you will increase the chances of it happening
Step 3. Don't forget to take some time to relax
Although it is important to be persistent in pursuing your goals and dreams, it is a must to take breaks and allow yourself to rest and have moments of tranquility. You certainly don't want to fill yourself with anxieties, deprive yourself of the necessary sleep or give up the fun with friends. Slowing down and relaxing from time to time will only make your craving for success even more greedy and improve your skills to accomplish your goals once you get back on the road.
- Meditation can help you stay calm, calm, and work on visualizing your goals.
- Yoga is also great for connecting your mind and body, and for letting go of any blockages that are gripping you and preventing you from reaching your potential.
- During the process it is important to stay happy and healthy and never forget to take care of yourself no matter how hard you have to work. Get your body at least 7-8 hours of sleep, eat three healthy meals, and don't be too indulgent with alcohol. You will acquire a more stable state of mind and increase your chances of being able to achieve what you have always dreamed of.
Step 4. Learn from failure
If you want your dreams to come true, you need to be able to learn from your mistakes and setbacks, and use them to advance even more forcefully. If you have failed at something, stop and ask yourself what happened and what you could have done differently. Of course, sometimes it can be just plain bad luck, and all you can do is carry on, but in most cases you will find that there is always something that can be done differently. After all, insanity has been defined as believing that you can do the same thing over and over and get different results, and you don't want to fall into that category.
Rather than letting the hitches get you down, use them to make yourself even more hungry for your goals
Step 5. Along the way, accept constructive criticism
While it is important to stay focused on your goal and not allow others to get in your way, it is equally important to listen to the people who are really trying to help you. Sure you can get rid of all the gentlemen who are simply trying to discourage you and ruin your day, but if a trusted friend or someone knowledgeable about your goal tells you that something could be done differently, then you can take some time to decide. what advice would be useful to follow.
Of course, just because someone cares about your well-being or has a broad understanding of your goals doesn't mean they always have the best answers. Use your discernment to figure out which suggestions are best to follow and which ones not to listen to
Step 6. Make the necessary sacrifices
You may have to give up many things you care about for your wishes to come true. You will have to work hard and inevitably leave out some of the things you love, whether it's going out and getting drunk with friends or spending more time than necessary with family. You may have to give up your desire to train for the next marathon in your city because it would take too long, not leaving you enough time to study for the bar exam. Make a list of all the things that are occupying your time and find out which ones you will have to give up and which ones you will have to reduce.
Nobody ever said it was going to be an easy process. For example, having to give up family time can sometimes be painful, but you need to remind yourself that you will be able to strike a balance when the process is over
Step 7. Remove any obstacles you encounter in your path
Think about it: what is stopping you from achieving your dreams right now? Is it a toxic friend who does nothing but break you down and make you feel worthless? Or is it a relationship that has come to an end that robs you of all energy whenever you need to focus on yourself? Alternatively, it could be a job that doesn't make you feel fulfilled in any way or your indulgence towards alcohol that sometimes makes you feel too groggy to do what you should. Whatever obstacles or obstacles are in your path, it is time to make a plan to get rid of them for good.
Make a list of all those things that are holding you back. Ask a trusted friend to help you. You may not have noticed that something as simple as your TV addiction is keeping you from reaching your full potential
Step 8. Ditch the excuses
One of the most important traits of the most successful and goal-oriented people is being able to give up excuses and move forward, even if hardly, no matter how many obstacles are placed in their way. Even if you feel that your parents don't treat you the way they should and give you low self-esteem, that your life hasn't been the luckiest, that people always treat you badly, and although this may be true, you should succeed. to use adversity to strengthen yourself, rather than as an excuse for not being able to get what you want.
It is true that not everyone was born with a shirt. You can stop and feel sorry for yourself, but then face the problems that need to be addressed. But if you want to be successful, what you can't do is face life feeling like a victim
Step 9. Reevaluate your dreams if you can't make them happen
Don't consider it a way out though. In fact, if you work hard and create the right plans, you will increase the chances of success at your disposal. However, this does not mean that not all dreams can be realized by anyone, especially if they concern things like becoming a famous actor or writing a publishing success. Even the most talented celebrities or the most successful people have had their share of luck, and ultimately, you may have tremendous talent while not being able to make it work. If this were the case for you, after trying it again and again, you will come to a point where you need to realize that you need to change your goals or create new ones in order to live a happy and fulfilling life.
You can't invest everything you have in achieving your dream, otherwise you risk feeling like a failure if you don't succeed. Instead, you must find a way to live a fulfilling life through multiple rewarding aspects, rather than betting everything on one horse. It will therefore be necessary to revise your expectations, but in the end you will feel more satisfied and proud of yourself
Advice
- The correct attitude to make your dreams come true is to believe that nothing is impossible when you believe.
- Dreams are dreams. If you want them to come true you will have to work hard to achieve them, in real life every day. Be positive about your dreams and don't let yourself be influenced by other people's words. Trust yourself.
- Choose a positive and confident attitude in everything you do and remember that the only limits are the ones you set yourself.
- You don't have to simply decide that your dream is now a burning desire. Instead, feel it grow within you as you meditate on it, so that the seed it represents causes the craving itself to be born. Your craving will automatically become the new seed, and when you return to meditate it will grow to bring your goal to life. At that point your goal will have become the new seed and by meditating on it you will give birth to a plan of action that you will have to work on to achieve magnificence in life.
- From the very first steps to take to make our dreams come true, we come across a highly misunderstood term: meditation, a technique that plays an important role in transforming dreams into burning desires, desires into goals, goals into action plans and the present moment in everything we have always dreamed of. It is not possible to copy anyone else's method because that method has been customized for them specifically. Each of us has to find our own method. For this purpose, meditation is an effective means. To meditate is to reflect deeply on something. When your deepest thoughts focus on something it is as if they connect to universal consciousness; you are simply looking for the answer within your deepest self. What you seek is within you because each of us in this world is connected to a higher power.
Warnings
- More than anything else, you need to believe in yourself and your abilities.
- If you work hard to make your dreams come true, they will most likely come true.
