Dreams are easy and they cost you nothing. You can dream for hours without doing a single thing. There are no tangible results and no required actions. Unless you turn your dreams into actionable steps, your dream will never be reality.
These steps, or goals, are based on action and require focus and attention. To achieve goals you must be specific and consistent. It's great that you have a dream. But until your write it down, assign goals, and start working, it will only be a dream.
It's quite possible your dreams are getting in the way of your success.
Instead, create a plan to move from where you are today to your dream.
- Decide on a specific activity, course, or action.
- Set a realistic deadline.
- Do the work.
- Track your progress.
- Readjust if needed.
- Let your dreams inspire you to keep going.
- Celebrate each small success.
- Set your next goal.
Dreaming is easy, imaginative, and inspiring. Don't stop dreaming, just make sure your dreams can become reality by taking actionable steps.
Your choice to take action will lead to an increase in your skills and abilities. By setting goals, you have the possibility of changing your life.
