SAVE THAT DREAM


Save your dreams, don't squash it. Save your dreams, don't abort it. Accept and engage every process like a pregnant woman who bears a child in her womb for nine months and be ready to birth your goal safely. Dreams are the hope of our tomorrow. They are blur images that need a passionate artistic touch. One sure thing about them is, they can be made to come to life. YES you can breathe life to that IMPOSSIBLE looking goal. We often find it very difficult to put down a blueprint of what our dreams are, reasons being that they seem confusing, we procrastinate actions, we allow our dream size to suppress our potential to achieve them and all these leave us with an undecided mind. Sad to note that 80% of our dead loved ones took to the grave their wishes, goals, ideas and dreams without bringing them to life. To add life to a dream so many adjustments must be made. First we need to understand what a dream is, accept and appreciate steps involve in achieving it, take immediate actions (avoid procrastination), be ready to bear discouraging results and have the mindset of 'it is possible'. A dream is that positive passion in a man that turns him into an addict. It is that positive conscious and unconscious act that steals virtually all the time he has and he loves it not minding he couldn't  allocate time to other things. Dream come true is a process based output usually long-term in nature. Therefore a dream-chaser should be ready to move with the painstaking exercise that envelops his/her desire. If you want to become an inspirational speaker for example, one of the processes is self development and to achieve this, it is required of you to read and read and read as many books as possible, attend workshops and seminars, have a mentor who is a professional motivational speaker for professional and ethical guidance, build your confidence through practice, staying patient and optimistic. All these will expand your versatility, improve your spoken language and as well get you ready for the winning. One of the issues with becoming a motivational speaker is 'NOT WANTING TO READ, READ & READ'. Remember that Readers are Leaders

When it comes to dreams, eliminate the mindset of 'make it or break it', your mindset should be 'make it or make it'. Are you willing to make it?  Start living your dream by taking actions that support the process of achieving it. Dreams are nightmares, conquer them. Dreams are silhouettes, make them real. Mistakes and failures should be a strength rather than a dream killer.

Your dream should turn you into a hungry lion. See every process involved as a meal. Eat and get satisfied. Your satisfaction is the end result and that is a dream come true. Achieved dreams sometimes could be a threat so be careful. Further goals are limited by current success therefore whenever you achieve a goal, see it as a raw material to other dreams.

Dreams ought to be sustained and be of environmental benefit. Dreams are selfless, don't make it selfish if you want it to outlive you. Dreams are of varying sizes but one great feature of it is the ability to grow. Forget size, start the process, stay smart as you make some progress.
Remember! You are never too old to dream further or have a new dream. In practice don't call it a dream, call it a plan so as to have a clearer picture of your navigation map.
