You probably started the New Year with renewed resolve to pursue your goals, accomplish your plan and chase the dream.
And here we are – just a few weeks into the year. How’s it going?
I wonder how many people have already given up – how many are already derailed?
There is nothing wrong with making plans or pursuing goals. In fact, we should be doing those things.
But we can’t just keep dreaming about “some day”.
The problem with dreams is that at some point you have to wake up to reality. And occasionally it is exposed as just another fantasy that can’t happen in real life.
[Tweet “The problem with dreams is that at some point you have to wake up to reality.”]
We see the prize far away on some misty mountain top, and we’re stuck in the valley distracted by anything and everything – email, meetings, and mindless entertainment.
It’s time to stop dreaming.
Time to wake up.
Your dream isn’t just some vision of someday in a distant future. It’s not found somewhere out there.
It’s not something you hope for. It is something you create and pursue today.
It’s counterintuitive – but a dream (your passionate vision – your calling) is something you do. Every day.
[Tweet “Your dream is not something you hope for. It’s something you do. Every day.”]
Something you hold on tightly to. Something you fanatically focus on to. You selflessly sacrifice routine, comfort, and ordinary for it.
Dream is worth doing.
Not chasing. Not anymore.
So whatever your dream. Whatever your vision. Whatever your passion. DO it today!
No excuses. Stop complaining and stop blaming. Stop hoping and wanting. Don’t be waiting for that big break. And quit chasing!
The way to have a great future is to have a lot of great todays. The future you envision will only happen if you do something – anything – about it today.
[Tweet “The way to have a great future is to have a lot of great todays.”]
So stop chasing the dream. And start living it.
I’ve adjusted the weekly plan to actually do some of the work to make the dream into a reality. I’ve also reached out to few that I think share similar goals and talked about how to make it happen.
Plus, I’ve made the commitment to trim some of the time-sucking fat out of my days.
Great job Doug! Love these actions!
This month, I am activating my dream. It has been hard work of putting together a landing page, recordings, lists, and the list goes on! Some days are better than others. I hope to get the announcement out soon and continue putting up the course content online. Exhausting! No wonder many people remain in the “dream phase”…
Thanks for this reminder. It is an encouragement to me…
Great to hear Kimunya. I’m excited about this next step for you. Keep moving forward!
What I am going to do about my dream today is put it into action. I am going to take my dream and piece by piece start working on making it a part of my reality. #tmsjewelry
