YOU ARE ONLY 7 STEPS
AWAY FROM YOUR DREAM
Part 1
Last week I shared the most important key to achieving your
dreams, however it was quite broad and sweeping. I have spent the past week
reviewing from my own life as well as those of other successful people, like Mulwana,
Lee Wan Kyu, W. Clement Stone among others and I picked out points of a
trajectory that I found to be identical in every single course.
There is a common saying that if you don’t know where you
are going, any road will take you there. I find this statement absolutely true.
This article is about getting you from where you are to where you really would
love to be in a very practical 7 step approach.
1. Clarify your Dream.
Clarity is absolutely critical to
the achievement of any dream, the last thing you want in life is to have an
ambiguous ambition, it’s like playing soccer with no goal to score in or
running a race with no finish line. Having this finish line will determine the
course and the direction in which you run.
The scripture says, write the Vision
down and make it plain, and give it to the runner to run with it. Writing your
dream will help you create a definite and succinct vision statement. That
anyone in your team can run with.
Be absolutely clear on the
following; what exactly is that dream, in what shape, color, location, person
does it come, at what point in life do you want to see this dream come to pass.
Having a clear vision and understanding of your dream will make the navigation
towards it a lot simpler. Imagine driving a car in a very foggy weather that is
what it’s like to have a dream you are not clear about.
You have got to be unequivocally
crystal clear about the thing you will call your dream, because failure to have
that is to set yourself up for the counterfeit, by now you know that the
counterfeit never counts.
2. Believe it and see it.
Interestingly you will never be
able to see your dream in the physical until you have seen it in the
mental.
First you conceive your dream,
then you convince yourself, and you will achieve that dream. I have said it
before, faith in your dream is of at most importance, if you don’t believe your
dream no one will believe it either.
Belief in ones dream produces
conviction, conviction stirs up charisma, and charisma creates disciples and
tribes. Hearing Martin Luther Jr sharing his dream about an equal united states
was a very electrifying experience, so many years after he died, the dream
still lingers in the hearts of a generation, bearing the fruits he only beheld
in his mind and was convinced of in his spirit.
Again I say, after you are clear
with your dream, believe it, see yourself living it. Make use a tool called
Visualization, take 10 minutes every day to see yourself in your mind living
that dream.
3. Act as if
Then live as though you have already
achieved that dream. I remember before I bought my first bike I used to say to
people, I have bought a bike, I ride a bike, this was long before I actually
bought it. I would go into the parking lot and act as if I was dismounting a
big bike. Not long after this experience, I bought my first 400 CC cruiser bike
that I love so much.
Jack Canfield in his book Success principles
states that the subconscious does not know the difference between reality and
vision, but works on suggestion, so suggest to your subconscious mind that it
is finished through the way you walk, talk, carry yourself, then your
subconscious mind will show you ways to make your dreams a reality
