Everyone says “Follow your dreams, Dare to Dream!” But not everyone does it. Life interposes, bills pile up, and sometimes a lot of us end up doing jobs we don’t want to do just to make it through the day. Then we realise we need a change, be it for a more exciting life or a better salary or simply because our priorities in life have changed.
However, there are a number of reasons for all of us to follow our dreams, to break the drift, and to live the life we have always wanted. Dreams give us purpose, they make us strive towards a goal and they give us that extra reason for getting up in the morning each day. The idea of having them, makes us happier.
I came across these quotes:
“Build your own dreams, or someone else will hire you to build theirs.” —Farrah Gray
“I’ve been absolutely terrified every moment of my life and I’ve never let it keep me from doing a single thing that I wanted to do.” — Georgia O’Keefe
“Just don’t give up trying to do what you really want to do. Where there’s love and inspiration, I don’t think you can go wrong.” —Ella Fitzgerald
Quotes like these and successful people motivate me to do the same and I feel very happy when I see others doing the same. I look at world celebrities like Jennifer Lopez and I think to myself “how do they do it?” How do they achieve such great things?
Well the formula is similar for all humans. It’s how hard we want it and how hard we are willing to work towards it that makes the difference to it most likely happening.
One of my forever dreams was to become a professional dancer on TV. I’ve done it for many years. Another one was to drive lots of beautiful cars. I landed a job doing just that for four years and I still test drive luxury cars today. Another one was to host a TV programme and I have done that too. I currently host two online TV programmes – Malta TV and Remax Malta Million Euro Listings. Dreams do come true sooner or later, if you truly believe.
Here are 5 motivational tips I have for you today to help you make your first steps for your dreams to become reality.
1. Believe truly in your dream.
Believing in your dream is essential to get the motivation you need to achieve it. Deep down inside you know whether or not you can believe in your dream. Is the dream worth pursuing? Is it something that you want to pour your heart and soul into? I’ve always wanted to be my own boss and to travel to many destinations and to work with TV crews. These dreams have come true and now I have new ones.
2. Visualise your dream.
Close your eyes and really imagine – in detail – how everything around you will look like when your dream comes true. Visualising your dream including the smells and the textures to the minute detail give you new energy and excitement. It is all there for you to feel.
3. Expect tough moments
Achieving your dreams are not easy. You will find obstacles. Be ready for them. You will find persons who will not support you, doors shut in your face and you will find other people, who are not even friends who will help you find or do what you are dreaming about, because they are mature and altruistic and they are just good souls. Find more of those companions, who lift you and give you good energy.
4. How long will it take?
The key to achieve your big dreams is to do things step by step with a clear vision in your mind. Do not get lost in making excuses for everything. Just make a list of things to do and have that list crossed one at a time. In one year, two years, you will be pleasantly surprised at how much you can achieve!
5.Quality over quantity
When you do something special towards achieving your goals, give it your best shot. It is better to do one good thing each week than to do ten mediocre things or actions that lack quality and attention.
6.Do not be afraid to ask for help
One thing I have learnt the hard way, because I am quite a hard-headed and independent kind of lady is to ask for help. Yes, seek advice from experts, get an opinion. A thought shared, a dream shared releases your will more to the universe that you really wish it to come true.
