How Your Life Can Be A Dream Success Strategies

Submitted by: Robert Worstell

A lot of people – probably most of us – have at some point dreamed of being especially outstanding. Fantasies of being the star player on a team, or the homecoming queen, or fantastically rich – all these abound. Some simply want to be successful and have happy relationships.

With all these big dreams and lofty aspirations, it’s unfortunate that our dreams can remain just that – dreams. All these personal ideals might as well be stored in the attic, gathering dust.

Don’t get your hopes up.

Did you ever think that life could actually be much better if only we learned to convert these dreams to responsible action?

Of course, the first stumbling block to achieving any goal is to believe in that lie called “Impossible.” There are a lot of phrases like that: “I can’t do this.” or “It’s too hard.” “It’s too unrealistic.” “No one can do this.”

Of course, if everyone thought that way, there would probably never have been any inventions, discoveries, or breakthroughs which make up the list of human accomplishments.

Remember that scientists were baffled when they took a look at the humble bumblebee. Theoretically, they said, it was impossible for the bumblebee to fly. Unfortunately for the bumble, bee no one has told it so. So fly it does.

The real self-imposed limit is where people suffer from dreaming outrageous dreams and then never act on them. The result is what we’ve seen above – broken dreams and bored lives in front of TV sets.

If you limit yourself with self-doubt, and self-limiting assumptions, you will never be able to break past what you may deem impossible. If you reach too far out into the sky without taking any real action towards your goal, you will find yourself clinging on to the impossible dream.

You can try this exercise. On a sheet of paper, write down a goal you’d like to achieve. Now under that, make three headers – Things you know you can do; Things you might be able to do; and Things which are impossible to do.

Now work out the steps you can see right now that would help you achieve that goal. Put them under each header according to how hard you think they are to attain or achieve.

Now every day, review that goal statement and see that dream in your mind again. Then, look over that list under “Things you know you can do” and get some of those done that day. And look over “Things you might be able to do” and see if you can get some of those done somehow.

As of the items you wrote under things I could do are accomplished, you can move the goals that are under things that are impossible for you to do to the list of things you might be able to do.

Moving through this process, you may find that the goals you once considered impossible are now far more realistic and doable. The impossible has begun to look possible.

You see, the technique here is not to limit your imagination. It is to aim high, and start working towards that goal little by little. However, it also is unwise to set a goal that is truly unrealistic. Break that star-high goal into little tiny steps which you can do right now. As you get these done, then you’ll find that the ‘might be able to do’ steps are also able to be accomplished when you break them down. After awhile, you can see that nothing is particularly impossible to achieve.

The only disappointed and disillusioned people are those who only dream and never take action.

Skyscrapers, Airplanes, Television, Moon Landings – all these were originally thought of as impossible. Yet they are now factual and many are common place. Any dream can be made into a reality by simply breaking down those goals into smaller, more doable steps and then taking action to get them done.

No matter what dreams you have for your life – if you keep them in front of you as a goal, and keep those doable steps listed out, as long as you plan your work and work your plan – then nothing is really impossible. Keep to this strategy and win!

Because your life could be a dream – if you really you want it to be.
