Having a dream
of doing, being or creating something more in your life can be trying at times.
Stay focused, keep doing what you need to do, even if you feel like you aren't
going anywhere with it...it just means that you are right at the threshold of
your big break. It may not be the million dollar deal; it might not be that
movie deal that you have dreamt of as a kid or that #1 best selling book that
you have always wanted to write and publish. It might be on the threshold of
the next big step in the ladder of your success that you need to take to get to
that final destination. Just when you feel like quitting or giving up in
frustration, that is when you need to realize you are that much closer to your
dream becoming a reality.
The past few
days I have been struggling with my dream coming to fruition. I have been
struggling with writing my daily articles, because of issues I am having, also
family things that need taking care, house chores always there, bills to be
paid, yida yida. The point is that I have to constantly stay focused on my
dream. If I don't write the article everyday, then what am I doing to keep on
track for my dream? Well, I might not feel like writing, but that doesn't mean
I get the day off. I do research, make notes, call people about questions I
have, read books about others that have succeeded in getting their dream.
No matter what
day it is, 5 days a week, I focus on writing...actually it is 7 days, but the
other two days are fun days that keep me focused on my dream of becoming a full
time paid freelance writer. I don't know what your dreams are but I am sure it
is something absolutely out there and looks like it is impossible for you to
achieve, but those are the dreams that need focus and working on. Without the
passion for this big, impossible dream then you will never accomplish that
dream.
Three
important things to remember while working towards your dream even if you take
a day off from working towards it:
1. Intention = A crystal clear focus of knowing
what you want to create in your life and what you are passionate about.
2. Attention = What you focus your attention on
will draw the energy to that dream and make it stronger. You need to create a
plan on getting your dream, but then you have to take Action. Without
action your attention will only take you so far. Action engages the attention
that you give your dream.
3. No
Tension = Act from a
calm and peaceful state within yourself. Be fully present in the now while
acting on your attention and clear dream. Then the second half of this is once
you have done all you can think of doing to get to your dream, let it go. Your
dream will happen, but might not look like what you expected it to.
If you can
stay the course while accepting that you are having a bad day and don't feel
like working on your dream, then try to find something small or easy to do that
still keeps your focus strong and then let the tension and negative energy go.
We are all human and have good days and off days. Time to make those off days
work for you too, don't you think?
