No matter where you are in life, whatever stage or struggle you’re going through, your dream life is within reach. There may be times when it feels a million years away, or that you’ll never reach certain goals – but you must remember that where you are now is a goal reached all on its own. Whatever it is you are striving towards, you will get there. You just have to put in the work and take the steps.
I read something a while ago, and it has always stuck with me. It was about how many people feel that they can never ready their goals, simply because they aren’t setting attainable ones. This doesn’t mean you can’t have big goals, but if you are setting a goal for yourself that is unrealistic or maybe not possible, you’ll feel like a failure for never reaching it.
There is a difference between being a dreamer, and being completely unrealistic with your goals. For example, if you have a life goal of becoming the first person to throw an 80’s themed roller skating party on a faraway planet, you’re going to fail because it is not anywhere near attainable.
If you have a goal of opening and launching your very own online business – now that’s something you can do.
Where a lot of people fail is setting an end goal, but not making any plans to get there, or making plans and not following through with them. It’s best to set your goal, and then break it down into the steps you need to take to reach said goal. Each one of those steps becomes attainable and realistic to accomplish.
Something to remember while working towards your dream life, is to make sure you’re enjoying where you are now as well. You don’t want to get so swept away in your future or building your dream life that you miss the lessons and beautiful moments of your present life. So take it all in, get excited about building your dream life, and embrace the here and now while working towards your dream.
When is the last time you actually sat down and thought about your dream life? Not just in a daydream wishful kind of way, but the “what can I do to create a life that I love?” kind of way. Make your dreams your reality, work hard and don’t settle for anything less than what you’re capable of.
You can do this!
