The Person You Want to Be (Part 3)

Follow Your Dreams …………………

This is your dream now. (As I said in the previous blog, I won’t discuss what you and I want regarding material gains because that has not fully come about in my life.) However, it should not stop you from writing your bucket list if you wish.

Let’s take the following steps then:

Step One: You will have to decide what you want. (Your investment capital)

What sort of person would you like to become, and career-wise, what would you like to accomplish within the next year?

Step Two: Write down what you want, print it in large font, and limit it to one page. Make it easy to read from a distance and set it up where you will easily see it each day.

Step Three: Buy a fun-looking diary; most stationery shops have many really interesting ones. I know because I bought one reasonably priced and got a free desk calendar thrown in.

Warning: do not use your existing diary or tablet, mobile, etc. Rather, buy a diary and label it: “My Dream Journal.”

 Another Warning:  Hide it where no one else will see it. You’ve no idea how the sweetest of friends or family can destroy your dreams with a few choice mocking words…..

Now, each evening, write down in the journal what you consider to be even the smallest steps you gained toward achieving your dream. If you can, do it in bullet form so it’s easy to read when you go over it at the end of each week, and make sure you do go over it each weekend.

At the end of each entry, say, “I am so grateful for this progress that I have made.” The law of gratitude says that as you express gratitude, even for small steps forward, you will achieve more and even greater steps ahead.

Final Step: Be patient and persevere – DO NOT GIVE UP. Remember this is only a twelve-month project, after which you can decide whether it works for you. If it’s working, then continue. If not, you would certainly have become a better, more disciplined person for the effort.

If you faithfully do what I have recommended, you will discover this: Slowly but surely, you are progressing toward accomplishing your dreams. Why is this? Because even if we try to desire and believe in our dreams, if nothing is written down and followed in a disciplined way – we forget and even lose sight of our dreams. But if we make the effort – WE WILL SEE THE RESULTS.

I have done this exercise, and it works. I see that, in one way, I have already achieved aspects of becoming the person I want to be. (And this is only month three!) I have started to visibly accomplish in my business and in my personality – I have gained real confidence and now see even greater success ahead. I have started to love and enjoy my work, even if it’s not what I want to do – that’s coming! I am excited about doing my business every day and eagerly looking forward to the changes ahead of me.

Why are you waiting? – Get going!
