Are you indecisive?
Or are you clear in your messages? Let me explain to you how the words and the
choices you make can and will impact your dreams and wants. Have you ever
looked in a catalog or a store window and said to yourself, "I'd like to
have that"? Then, when you actually go to purchase the item, you discover
that it is not at all what you thought you saw or wanted. Our appetites can
sometimes be bigger than the actual meal we start to eat. In that case, have you bitten off more than you can really
chew? Be careful what you ask for because you might just get it.
In life, you must be
conscious of your words because what you are speaking may not at all be what
you are trying to convey to yourself or others. For instance, if you want to be
a millionaire, you cannot make such a vague statement. Instead, lay the
pavement first so you know which way you need to drive your journey.
Ask yourself…
What
are some ways you can start building your dreams?
It is one thing to say you want to be a rich person, but it takes some time,
planning and effort to get what you truly want. The hard truth is that you can
play the lottery each and every day of your life. Your odds of winning it big
are slim to none even if you do play every day. To even your odds and level the
playing field, you must lay the foundation so you can get to that end goal.
That is not always an easy task. I am here to tell you that it is going to take
a lot of sweat equity, patience and perseverance to get to that point. Perhaps
you might take the money you are spending on your lottery tickets and put it
into something more tangible, like saving towards your higher education,
stocks, bonds, or a craft that you are good at so you can turn your talent into
riches.
In any event, you must say
what you want and stand behind it. That means that you have to back up your
statement with commitment, hard work and a willingness to follow through on
acquiring your wants. And remember, whether your want is a promotion, a larger
home, a better job, a relationship, or becoming a millionaire -- know that when
you start believing you can achieve these dreams, like all things, new and
bigger responsibilities will come with those accomplishments. Mind you, I am
not trying to frighten you away from success. Just understand that like the
catalog or store window item that looked so enticing but ended up not being
your taste at all, that success requires constant diligence, awareness, and
motivation to do what it takes to maintain that status. This may require a
great degree of your attention and preparedness to be the person you choose to
be.
At the end of the day, you
must ask yourself: Are you ready for your
dreams to start happening? And if you are, are you ready to maintain the
work it takes to not only make your dreams come true, but to put meaning and
real purpose behind your words and choices? Success does not end once you
achieve it. Success is only the beginning to the reality you choose.
