Dream Do Have

In our youth, we are educated by our sphere of influence that the road to success is to get a good education, find a good job and work hard until you retire. 

How is that working for you so far?

Diligence is an important component to succeeding in life, regardless of your goal, but it is much more important to understand WHY you want to succeed.  Money should not be your only cause.

When I was first asked to articulate my reasons for wanting to succeed as a self-employed person, I truly put some thought into that document.  I considered all the things that were important to me.  I laid out all the dreams that were pertinent and still with me after years of living and learning. 

There is a point of view that suggests that you must first BE what you desire to be.  This decision leads you to DO things that allow you to HAVE your goal.  I liked that, for it is a simple formula. 

In my life, I have modified it to be DREAM – DO – HAVE for our dreams are worthwhile and guide us toward our futures.  And, face it, without dreams, life is dull.

So, I ask you to ponder, what are your dreams and WHY are those dreams important to you?  Put this into writing and refer to it often.  As long as you have sight of your dreams, you will DO what it takes to HAVE them come true for you.
