5 Things; That Can Make Your Dreams Come True

This week I am sharing 5 Things: That Can Make Your Dreams Come True.

So I am going to assume you know what your dream is.  What would you love to do? When day dreaming where does your mind wander to?  Thought of something?  Right, that thing, that’s what we are going to talk about.  How do we stop it always being a dream and turn it into reality?  How do you even know where to start?

And, when you want something, all the universe conspires in helping you to achieve it.

Paulo Coelho, The Alchemist

dreams come true

Pick your dream and BELIEVE

Everyone has dreams, most people will immediately start telling themselves why their dreams won’t, or can’t, come true.  They will limit themselves and they will, themselves, prevent their dreams coming true.  So focus on your dream and believe you can achieve it.

Be brave

Fear will limit many people and will be a major contributing factor to their dreams remaining just that, dreams. Achieving your dreams sometimes requires a leap of faith, giving up something safe or secure and launch into the unknown.  Scary stuff!  However, if you do what you’ve always done, you will be what you have always been.  To achieve your dream you will have to work hard, get up earlier, do what you have to do to achieve, as let’s face it, no-one will do it for you.

Make a plan and act on it

Brainstorm what you need to do in order to make your dream come true.  Perhaps create a mind map or whatever helps you to figure out the steps you will need to take to reach your goal.  Committing your ideas to paper will also help them to feel more real, more concrete. All these ideas written down in front of you will also give you lots of avenues from progress towards your dream.  Every day chip away at your plan.

Model yourself on people who are living your dream

When you see successful people, or people who are living your dream, it is easy to feel a touch (or a lot!) of the green-eyed monster.  However, the only person that will affect is you, and negatively so.  So stop, take a deep breath and look at it objectively.  What are they doing that you could? How have they achieved their success and what can you learn from their journey?

Share your dream

Tell people about your dream.  If we share something it makes us more accountable and therefore we are more likely to succeed.  So trust your dream with people who will support you and who may even be able to help you.  Even if it is just with their support and encouragement.  This will be very important for the times when you falter, because you will,  but when you do remember

Dream, Believe, Achieve

  5. Tip number 4 is a very powerful one and works best for me 🙂 Because people who succeeded are just like me or you, only that they were brave enought to take the first step.

  6. Great post! Have done a lot of this with my tutor group, although we talk “aspirations” rather than “dreams” – love that this can be applied to pretty much any situation. Thanks for linking up to #SundayStars

  10. Love, love, LOVE this Aby! So true, all of it. You have to believe in dreams and go for them, if you want them to happen. It’s what I did years ago, when I hit 30, to go freelance and I’ve never looked back 🙂 X

  11. This is very true. I am at a stage where I am full of dreams and plans, and I need to focus on making them happen rather than being held back by fear of failure. Great post! #TheList

  15. I’m a firm believer that anything is possible and really agree with point 5 about sharing it. Somehow accountability means an extra little push, at least for me anyway x #TheList

  16. Dream, believe, achieve, I love this. It’s so important to dream and then take steps to make your dream come true. As you say, a bit of a leap of faith but without dreams what is there? X

  22. This is so inspirational…and true! My husband told a friend of a friend that I will be writing a blog about the crazy silliness of having twins; it was overhearing him say it that made me think ‘Flippin’ heck, I’d better actually do it now!’

  23. The very best thing that I have ever done is found the courage to tell people whom have had successes in my field how much I admire them, and to invite them to be my friend. I’ve learned so much about achievement from these brilliant and strangely humble people and it’s been enormous for my self-development. This is a great post.
