Turning My Dream to Reality
It’s Now or Never!
We wake up every day with a new dream and go to sleep without working on it or setting goals to achieve it. Now that’s the problem with us, we all dream big and are not ready to put in the efforts, and stay consistent, to turn it into a reality.
“The biggest adventure you can take is to live the life of your dreams” — Oprah Winfrey
Dream big, and know the purpose behind it, believe in yourself and your dream, and stay persistent to attain it. If you don’t believe in your dream, you won’t be able to turn it into reality. Just believe in your dream and do not think about the obstacles you are going to experience. Ignore the naysayers and focus only on the result. Picture yourself living your dream. What would your life be like? How do you feel? Are you happy?
“Believe you can and you’re halfway there” — Theodore Roosevelt
The first step, after having a dream you believe in, is to set SMART goals.
When you have set goals, you know you are going to accomplish something meaningful. Setting goals is easy. The real game begins when you have got to work for it. You will have to work hard to reach your goals, but you must stay strong and not get discouraged even when going gets tough.
“Never quit. It is the easiest cop-out in the world. Set a goal and don’t quit until you attain it. When you do attain it, set another goal, and don’t quit until you reach it. Never quit” — Bear Bryant
The second step is to take action daily to turn the dream into reality. One small action a day will add up at the end of the year into significant action taken towards making a big dream a reality. Keep track of your progress by setting specific time in days to reach milestones along the way.
Let’s talk about the goal that I want to accomplish in the next six months
My goal is to learn E-commerce and build a micro PL asset on Daraz i.e. an online shopping app by May 2021. There are three steps that I need to follow to achieve this goal:
1. Learn how the Daraz app works
2. Set up an account as a seller
3. Find a product to sell
Yesterday, I chose to just start working on my goal and I dedicated one hour to study about Daraz application through the Virtual Bootcamp by Sunny Ali.
The reason behind having this goal is to reach financial stability. I have been delaying this goal for almost a month now because I was too lazy to actually work on it. However, now I’m going to do whatever it takes and not stop till I achieve it. I read in an article: Persisting in the face of adversity builds champions. Persisting is the key. Determination, sweat, and hard work is the power and fuel behind dreams turning into a reality.
Set the bar high for yourself and start your journey on the path of a purpose-driven life. 🤩
“The trouble with not having a goal is that you can spend your life running up and down the field and never score” –Bill Copeland
I hope I don’t fizzle out and return back to my old habits. Start your purposeful life today and just start working on your goals. Good luck! ❤
