Let’s start this off with a couple of questions – Do you feel happy with where you have settled in life? Do you feel as though you have something more to offer? What are your dreams? In truth, many people respond to these three simple questions negatively. Not only do they say that they aren’t happy, they also say that they have more to offer and don’t have any dreams. With the last one in particular, this is extremely damaging.
No matter how old you are or how far away from your goals you are, you have to dream and you have to dream big. Over time, it becomes all too easy in life to ‘settle’ for something that we never wanted in the first place. Whether it is career-wise, related to your personal life, or anything else, this simply doesn’t have to be the case. Ultimately, we are only on this planet once and we are only on it for a minuscule amount of time so you have to make the most of it and dream big. Regardless of whether you want a career move or to live in a different area of the country or the world, you have to believe in yourself and dream big.
When you look towards the people in life that have reached the top of their niche, they all have one thing in common – well, discounting the amount of money they have, they all dared to dream when they were younger. Many often say that having a dream can be ‘foolish’ but is it really that silly to want something better from your life?
Right now, close your eyes and think about what you want when you’re older. Even if you are getting ‘old’, think about what you want to have achieved when it comes to retirement. At first, people will say ‘I want money’ but look beyond that. What do you want money for? How are you going to earn that money? Also, consider what job you would do if money wasn’t a factor. By doing this, you can gauge what it is you really want to achieve in life. As soon as you know, you can turn this dream into a reality and start planning. As well as the big plan in the shape of the end goal, you need to set little goals that you can complete on a monthly basis until you achieve the dream.
With a little bit of planning and a lot of determination and effort, you really can achieve your dream. Just think about all the people that have dreamed big over the years and are now reaping the rewards. No-one is saying that it will be easy, but you don’t have to settle for a life that you don’t want. Start dreaming today, put a plan into action, and Live Life Fully!
