Hello Dream Warriors, I pray that all is well in your life. If you want to "win" in life and win big you must dream, plan then achieve. In order to achieve a dream your mind must conceive it. I know you have heard this phrase plenty of times before. You must hold the vision of yourself succeeding before you succeed. There are many reasons why people can't envision themselves achieving greatness. One of the reasons is that they have lost their way, they have become cynical and believe that great things happen to other people and not to them. Maybe they tried to succeed at one point and then failed and let that one failure scare them from trying again. It happens to the best of us, it may take others longer to re-coup from a failure. Where one person fails and dusts himself off and goes right at it again it may take another person five years to muster up the courage to begin again. I am saying to that person, it is okay. Everyone can't run the same race at the same pace. All marathon runners do not finish the race at the same exact time. Some finish the race in four hours while another person may take ten hours to finish that same race. But guess what they both finish the race! Does it matter who finishes the race first? We all want to be the first one to cross the finish line, but everyone cannot. You are still a winner if you finish the race period.
Go at your own pace, don't worry about the person next to you. They are running their own race (life) and you are running yours. The next step after seeing yourself as a winner is to plan, meaning write everything down. This was my one of my biggest problem for years, I didn't plan things. I am somewhat of a free spirit and like to "be spontaneous" but sometimes when you are a spontaneous person things are out of your control because you didn't plan for them, so please plan.
After planning you have nothing left to do but achieve. Little victories are just as good as bigger ones. Actually you get the bigger victories only after you have accumulated a lot of small victories. This was also a problem for me, I thought I had to have big sweeping victories in order to be successful at life. I thought the little victories meant nothing next to the bigger ones. So you see we live and we learn, now I'm doing and seeing things the correct way and I am feeling more and more satisfaction in my little victories. Weekly I write a goal list for the things that I plan to achieve (little victories) e.g. contacting a person that can help me with my business, research, calls. Once I do those things and I am successful at them I cross them off my list and pat myself on the back. I give myself credit for not procrastinating that day and for keeping my word on when I would get the tasks done. Remember to dream, plan and achieve in that exact order and give yourself props for the little victories which will eventually lead to big victories!
Sincerely,
The DreamKeeper
