Turn your Dreams into Reality

We all have dreams, aspirations, ideas, fantasies and goals that we would like to achieve. Unless you are not ambitious, I know that you dream of achieving things in your life. Whatever the dreams that you harbour and whether you will achieve them, entirely depends on you.

You are in charge of transforming your dreams into reality. You are the CEO, the Leader and the Boss of “yourself incorporated.” Everything that we see that is man made was first conceived as a dream. It took someone to work diligently to turn them into reality.

This though did not come without failure. Even, the greatest of inventors worked hard and never gave up on their dreams because they wanted to actualise them. They were passionate about them. Never give up on something you really want. It maybe difficult to wait, but way more difficult to regret.

The secret of getting ahead is getting started. So stop delaying and get started! Start working on your dreams today, no excuses.

Turning your dreams into reality is very challenging, it takes a lot of effort and time. I have never heard anyone who has achieved success and says that, it was a walk in the park. However, I believe that if your dream is centred on your life’s purpose it should be fun working to actualise it.

Believe in Your Aspirations

The most important person to believe in is always yourself. If you think you can achieve your dreams just get started working on them. Sometimes the people who are closest to us can be very discouraging, because they cannot see what you see.

You own your dreams. Yes, it is important to seek guidance and second opinions. But the fact that someone says you cannot achieve such and such or you cannot be this or that, does not necessarily mean you cannot. If you can see it then you can be it.

Believe that you will succeed and it will come to pass. At the end of the day it is your life. You will be held accountable for not utilising your talents and adding positively to humanity. Do what you have to do to add positively to humanity.

If you don’t believe in your dreams, who will? I know that the journey to realising our dreams involves people. How can the people you are involving to help you, have confidence in your dreams if you the owner does not believe in your own aspirations?

Failure Should be Embraced

“I’ve failed over and over and over again in my life and that is why I succeed. “ — Michael Jordan.

Your dreams, aspirations and ideas are your projects. You must stay committed to them. Life as it maybe, is full of challenges. Not everything you set out to do will go according to your will and plans. Along the way things will happen that you never expected.

Just like in many other project you will fail many times and you will succeed many times. The key is achieving your goal. Failure is part of the process of realising your dreams.

Perhaps failure happens so that we learn how to handle success. I believe that there are lessons to be learned from failing. Failure does not necessarily mean you are dull nor does it mean you cannot succeed. It simply means you have learned another way to avoid in future.

When you fall down, getup, dust yourself and move on. You are not the first nor will you be the last person to fail. Ask any successful person, whether they have not failed before, you will be amazed at their stories. The difference is that they have learnt to embrace failure.

Don’t allow failure to scare you, have the courage and motivation to look beyond it and focus on the bigger picture. People will always fail. Failure sharpens you. It makes you grow and be well prepared for your destiny.

When you are sharped by the challenges thrown your way and your despair for failure, this makes you grow into a better a person. A person who knows how it feels to fail will always be better prepared at what they do. They say experience is the best teacher, I say failure is the better teacher.

Take Your Dreams Seriously

If you want to be independent in life, you must make, realising your dreams one of your key priorities. If you do not build your ideas someone else will hire you to help them realise their dreams. Am not saying that its bad to work for someone. But you are never in control if you work for someone.

What you want, is to be in the driving seat of your life. You want to determine how much you earn. This is what make you happy. You want to do things the way you want them done. If you are currently working for someone am not suggesting that you quit your job without a plan.

Your dreams are the blue print for your goals and success. They say your imagination and your dreams are a preview of things to come. The good thing about having dreams is that you are the only one who has seen them. Only you will know when you have achieved them.

I know that at first our dreams can be scary. They can be intimidating. But once you get started they begin to take shape. Most of the times you will be guided on how to move, what to do, depending on the outcomes and circumstances of your achievements.

When I was setting out to start this website. It was a daunting idea. I had no clue as to what content I would be writing and where it would be coming from. Yes, I know that the growth has not been what it should be, but believe me it is surely moving in the right direction.

I guess the growth of the website in terms of content is directly influenced by my personal growth as well. As you may know, you cannot give what do not have. You only give from what you have. Sometimes I would want to write but have nothing to talk about.

Conclusion

Dreams are there to be pursued. If you have dreams pursue them relentlessly until you have accomplished them. You do not want to regret and look back at what you should have done. The time to start is now. There is never a better time and place to start following your dreams than today. Your dreams minus your doubts equal your true worth. Never let your fears be the boundaries of your dreams.
