The biggest adventure you can take is to live the life of your dreams.

Oprah Winfrey

What’s your dream? What’s holding you back from accomplishing your dream?

Listen to Your Heart

Find a quiet place and time to meditate and/or pray and listen. What’s your heart saying? What gets you excited about the future? What do you want to accomplish during your life?

Be Truthful

“What’s really holding you back? Can you keep going on and on and claiming its fear? Could it be the old excuse that you are a perfectionist? Or is it that you are uncertain or unskilled? What if the real issue is that you’re simply uncomfortable with change? Or that you are simply trapped in a rhythm of how much action you are willing to take each day? More often than not, what prevents people from starting a dream is lack of sustained motivation and discipline. Because armed with those things, you can overcome fear, right? So begin with honesty about what’s preventing you from starting your dream and realize that the only way through it is to begin.” Brendon Burchard, How to Start Your Dream When You’re Scared, Success.com, July 2017

Take Action

After you’ve figured out what’s standing in your way of accomplishing your dream, act on it. If it’s a lack of education find places where you get the education. There are many different sources for education including inexpensive and free courses offered online and in the community. If it’s a lack of support find a group of people working on the same dream. If it’s a lack of money speak to people and ask them their ideas. Listen to your heart and find creative ways to get the money you need…if you want something bad enough your heart/mind will find a way. “Just really, really believe in what you're trying to do…Let people advise you and lead you down paths to make smart…decisions. But trust your instinct and trust that overwhelming drive that made you put all your dreams and everything on the line.” Luke Bryan, American Musician

Stay Focused, Consistent and Persistent

Focus on the dream. Consistently work on your dream, “…take five action steps every single day…” Jack Canfield, author of Chicken Soup for the Soul. Be persistent even when things get difficult. “Follow your passion, be prepared to work hard and sacrifice, and, above all, and don’t let anyone limit your dreams.” Donovan Bailey 1996 Olympic Gold Medalist

Revaluate and be Flexible

Periodically look at your dream/goal. How is it going? Do you need to break it into smaller goals? Can it get done in the time period you wanted to or do you need more time? Did you accomplish it faster than expected, if so what’s your next dream/goal?

Conclusion

What’s your dream? What’s holding you back from accomplishing your dream? Never give up on your dreams, listen to your heart/mind, be truthful, take action, stay focused, consistent and persistent, revaluate and be flexible—it will lead you to accomplishing great things. “It is better to risk starving to death then surrender. If you give up on your dreams, what's left?” Jim Carrey
