Dare to Dream
big dreams; only big dreams have the power to move men’s souls.
-Marcus Aurelius
The first secret of self-made
millionaires is simple: Dream Big Dreams!
Allow yourself to dream. Allow yourself to imagine and fantasize about all your
career goals and the kind of life you would like to live. Think about the
amount of money you would like to earn and have in your bank account. All self-made
millionaires begin with a dream of something wonderful and different from what
they have today. You know the song that says, “You have to have a dream if you
want to make a dream come true.”
It’s true for you and for everyone else, as well.
All Self-Made Millionaires Started With a Dream
Imagine that you
have no limitations on what you can be, have, or do in life. Just for the
moment, imagine that you have all the time, all the money, all the education,
all the experience, all the friends, all the contacts, all the resources, and
everything else you need to achieve anything you want in life. If your potential
were completely unlimited, what kind of a life would you want to create for
yourself and your family? Practice “back from
the future” thinking. This is a powerful technique practiced continually by
high-performing men and women. This way of thinking has an amazing effect on
your mind and on your behavior. Here is how it works: Project yourself forward
five years. Imagine that five years have passed and that your life is now
perfect in every respect. What does it look like? What are you doing? Where are
you working? How much money are you earning? How much do you have in the bank?
What kind of a lifestyle do you have?
What Are Your Career Goals? Dare to Dream!
Create a vision for yourself for the long-term future. The more clear your vision of health, happiness, and prosperity, the faster you move toward it and the faster it moves toward you. When you create a clear mental picture of where you are going in life and set clear career goals, you become more positive, more motivated, and more determined to make it a reality. You trigger your natural creativity and come up with idea after idea to help make your vision come true.You always tend to move in the direction of your dominant career goals, dreams, images, and visions. The very act of allowing yourself to dream big dreams actually raises your self-esteem and causes you to like and respect yourself more. It improves your self-concept and increases your level of self-confidence. It increases your personal level of self-respect and happiness. There is something about dreams and visions that is exciting and that stimulates you to do better than you ever have before. Here is a great question for you to ask and answer, over and over again: What one thing would I dare to dream if I knew I could not fail?
If you were absolutely guaranteed of success in any one goal in life, large or small, short-term or long-term, what would it be? What one great goal would you dare to dream if you knew you could not fail? Whatever it is, write it down and begin imagining that you have achieved this one great goal already. Then, look back to where you are today. What would you have done to get where you want to go? What steps would you have taken? What would you have changed in your life? What would you have started up or abandoned? Who would you be with? Who would you no longer be with? If your life were perfect in every respect, what would it look like? Whatever it is that you would do differently, take the first steps today.
Don’t Be Afraid to Fail
While
chasing your dreams, bumps along the way are inevitable. Remember, the bigger
the dream is, the harder it is to achieve, but this does not mean it is
impossible. It simply means that you have to be prepared to fail and that you
must not be afraid of failure. The important thing to know is that your
failures are there to teach you lessons that can help you pick yourself up and
keep moving forward. Remember, it doesn’t matter how many times you fail; what
matters is how many times you pick yourself up and keep on working towards your
dreams.
Ever
heard the saying “dreams don’t work unless you do” by John C. Maxwell? This is
true, because dreaming without a plan of how to make those dreams a reality
will get you nowhere, and could leave you feeling frustrated. Planning is
crucial for converting your dreams into action. Start your plan of action by
setting attainable goals for yourself. Small steps over time will eventually
lead you to where you want to be. It may not happen overnight, and it may be
hard, but it will happen, as long as you keep taking action.
Big
dreams can be inspiring and can fuel your ambitions in life, but if you are not
willing to work hard, then all you have are dreams. Remember, “dreams don’t
work unless you do” – so whether your dreams are big or small, it is all
the hard work you are willing to put in that will see you living your dreams.
Believe in your dreams, convert them into action, and don’t be afraid to fail.
There are many lessons to be learnt in getting up after failing. So, go ahead,
dream big and work hard!
