In our previous post,we defined dreaming as an act of pure imagination, attesting in all men a creative power,which if were available in waking would make everyman a Dante or Shakespeare.
Below are the practical guides to living your dreams:
-Write Your Vision
I believe the instruction is fundamental to our breakthrough. It is hard to count/articulate our thoughts/ideas that the mind processes on a daily basis.Nevertheless, we should be able to recount a few at the end of the day.With the passage of time a thought that is a week old can not be remembered.
A dream that is not written down is like vapour,it vanishes into thin air,never to be seen again.
You can only run with what you can see.The act of writing transforms the dream from unseen to seen.It is only the dreams that you have written down that would make the much needed impact in your life and that of the society. Begin to visualize those dreams.
The question on your mind maybe how does writing make it seen?The book becomes a companion,every time you pick up the note book or diary,you physically see your dreams.This can spur you into action.
Do Something with your dreams,because dreams without action is nullity.
-Make It Simple
Simple has been defined;
-as without decorations, plain,not elaborate.
-easy to comprehend, not difficult.
What is the point of having a complex dream?you will not be encouraged to pursue it and even when you attempt to do so;uou easily get overwhelmed.
The dream need to be broken down in simple manageable parts.Your Dream needs to spur you on.
Break the dream down into goals.
Break each goal down into an activity.
Let's take a practical example
I dream of writing a book that will be on the best seller list for 1month.
I have to conduct my own research
-What type of book gets on best seller list?
-What will be the context?
-How many chapters?
-Who are your targeted audience?
-How much will the project cost?
-Test sample with friends
-Get a graphic artist
-Get proof reader
-Search for a publisher
-When should the book be published
And the list goes on,this is about redefining and bringing the dream into focus.
-Take Action
"The people who get on in this world are the people who get up and look for the circumstances they want,and if they can't find them,they make them."Benard Shaw
A personal computer on every desk and in every home,dreamed Bill Gate and Paul Allen.It seemed complete nonsense at the time,however, instead of being certified insane, Gate and Allen set about making their fortunes. You do not have to be in Disneyland for dreams to come true and behind every desk there is a dreamer.Keep journals,diaries, notebooks and jotters.
Adopt a constant and consistent approach to writing your ideas.
"Dream never hurt anybody if you keep working right behind the dreams to make as much of them become real as you can."
I have a journal named "Tips In Successful Wealth Creation" A financial journal, my memoirs and the list goes on.
You can share your ideas with others.You may have up to 15 journals,it is a joy to pick up a journal after several years have elapsed and see some of the dreams accomplished.
Do not share your dream with a dream killer.
Joseph had a dream,he told his brothers about his dream,they hated him and plot to kill him.
The biggest killers of deep inner dreams are sometimes those closest to you,friends, family members, your boss or those who have some form of authority or influence over you.Keep your dreams to yourself and work toward them.
