If you had a magic wand that you could wave and flick so all your dreams would become your reality. What would you wish for?

 

We all have dreams or things we  wish to archive in life or at a given time in our lives , and as important as  dreaming is , it's only the first step to accomplishing anything.

What is it you've always wanted to do ? Is it  skydiving? Creating a business out of your hobby? Going back to school? Finding a new job? Moving to a new city or start writing that novel or song?

Until you start taking relevant steps to accomplishing it, they remain just that DREAMS .

It's one thing to have a dream and another to actually pursue it.

Evidently those that do the latter are usually more successful.

Here are 7 extremely effective steps you can take today to turn that dream into reality.

1. Be convinced on why your dream rocks.

What does accomplishing this dream means to you ? Seriously why pursue it ? Why not be like most people and go with the flow.

Possible answers…

This is the type of life I choose to live
It will give me joy
I can't be left behind
All my friends are doing it
I possibly can't imagine what my life would be without doing this… etc.

Being convinced on your dreams will give you the courage to go after it. As this is not a one time thing , you would want to constantly ponder on what you stand to gain by actually attaining this dream.

2. Believe it's possible

I guess you've heard this a dozen times and that for good reasons. You need to believe in your dreams to be able to pursue it.

You may not know every step you need to take to attain your dreams, but what's the point of believing if you already knew.

Don't panic if others don't share your enthusiasm about your dream. It's "your" dream not theirs' .

When people try to talk you out of it, it's only because they don't understand it or from their personal experience it's not been possible.

3.Seek for clues 

We live in a time and age where opportunities and records abound. Almost everything you want to do has already been done by someone.It doesn't matter if it's running a marathon , starting a business , becoming financially independent , writing a bestseller or hosting the perfect dinner party, someone has already done it and left clues.

These clues can be in the form of stories, biographies, courses , seminars etc. Go seek for these clues .

Being able to point two or more persons who has accomplish something closely related to your dream will give you even more courage and motivation to go for it.

Moreover you need to assess the essential skills you need to accomplishing that dream.

4. Chunk it into goals

Having your dreams in the head only is a namby-pamby approach to attaining it.

If you don't want to lose sight of it, then put it down in writing. Create clear cut plans that will take you from one level to another and lead you to your ultimate dream.

Doing this will give you a sense of direction , it will make it easy to track your progress, at the same time motivating you.

The thing about goals is that living without them is a lot more fun, in the short run. It seems to me, though, that the people who get things done, who lead, who grow and who make an impact… those people have goals.”— Seth Godwin

5. Start right away, don't wait till tomorrow.

Too many people waste their time thinking about something they want to do, but very few people actually do it.

Achievers are action oriented people. They understand that the result is in the doing.

Besides its better and more fulfilling to go all out for your dreams than to sit and dream all day.

Step out of your comfort zone, make sacrifices , be prepared to fail and start again because there's no other way really to attaining it.

It may not seem like  a pleasant journey but your future self will thank you later for it.
