WHAT DO YOU REALLY WANT?
What do you dream about?
Napoleon Hill, in his classic book Think and Grow Rich, recommends the following steps. The results in thousands of lives across the decades has been astonishing:
Create a clear vision. Write down what you want. Assign it a value. Set a specific date for when you wish to obtain it. Write a concise statement of what you want, with the value and the date, and what you are willing to do in return. Read it out loud twice daily, preferably just before falling asleep and just after waking in the morning.
Be consistent. Keep at this. I recommend keeping an evidence journal to validate your action steps.
It is also very effective to do vision boarding or treasure mapping. Cut pictures from magazines, glue stick a photo of yourself into the picture of someone doing your dream. Write yourself a very large check and paste it onto your vision board. It’s rumored that a famous comedienne, in his early days before his success, carried a check in his wallet he had written to himself for $10 Million.
SMALL VICTORIES
In other words, don’t just dream. Begin to build on solid, effective and appropriate goals. Frustration occurs when we go at life hit and miss. We need to construct our dream a step at a time every day. The steps may often be very small.
My client, Susan, wants to take her horse to a high level of Dressage training, the highly disciplined art form of Equestrian riding. It’s been a lifetime passion, but expensive and time consuming and at this time, it’s still in the dream stage. She has a great horse at home in her pasture, standing around eating grass. For now, she can watch videos on YouTube, read books, and apply what she learns daily when she rides. The point is to take daily action steps wherever you are. Begin now, ready or not.
Pay attention to things that are out of the norm – something you might ordinarily believe you don’t have time for, maybe something you don’t feel like doing. There might be something valuable you are overlooking by staying in your comfort zone.
Choose different beliefs. Write different numbers in your bank statements, bigger numbers. Look at them every day. Put light around the numbers. Do things differently if you want your life to be different!
If you want to attract your greatest dreams, you have to go daily to that place where your dreams reside – in your heart and your imagination.
If you have built castles in the air, your work need not be lost, that is where they should be. Now put the foundations under them. Henry David Thoreau
