Tangible Tips for Achieving Your Dreams

"Are you struggling with how to make your dreams materialize? Do you know what you want to achieve - but just don't seem able to take the necessary steps to move forward? Based on my personal experience of tripping, flailing and wailing my way through the past decade while pursuing my dream of becoming a writer, it seems to me there are five factors that must be in place for you to achieve your dreams:

1. Believe in yourself: if you don't believe in your abilities, no one else will.

2. Trust your intuition: you may not know why you must fulfill a particular dream, only that it's imperative you do so. Trust this - the answers will come.

3. Surround yourself with people who encourage you, not those who tell you why something can't be done: the first is ideal; the second non-negotiable.

4. Show up and do the work: take at least one step every day, no matter how small, towards achieving your dream.

5. Enjoy the process: once you make a commitment to following a dream and begin taking tangible steps towards achieving it, other forces will kick in and help move you closer to your goals. But you have to show up and do the work.

George Eliot (Maryann Evans) wrote, "It's never too late to become what you might have been." But know this: time IS passing - and how you spend your days is how you spend your life. Procrastination is the thief of time, so be aware that every moment you spend putting off until tomorrow what your soul is crying for you to do today takes you further from your dream.

Here are three tips to get you moving in the right direction again:

1. Spend time alone every day - and dream your dream! Even if it's just five minutes, you need to visualize yourself achieving it... what does that feel like?

2. Break it down into manageable goals -and then break those down into bite-size tasks. You can't write a novel in a day but you can write a sentence.

3. Prioritize: put one task (no matter how tiny) that will move you closer to achieving your dream at the TOP of your daily to-do list.

Can't be done? Then try this: close your eyes and picture yourself at the end of your life. You're lying in your casket and they're just about to close the lid. Now ask yourself if you've achieved what you needed to in this life. If the answer is no and you didn't like how that felt, then yes - you CAN put achieving your dream at the top of your list. Because if not now, when? If not you, who?
