Everybody has dreams. The dreams I am talking about are the ones that shape our lives not the dreams we dream in our sleep. My dream for instance is to have my book, Quantum Planet, make the New York Times bestseller list. I am working on my dream and doing all that I possibly can to make my dream a reality. It is taking a little longer than I expected but I still will not give up on it because I believe in myself and my ability. Too many people give up on their dreams and that is such a shame. Some dreams are harder to carry out than others but they are not impossible as long as you make one that is truly within your reach.
I believe everyone has the power to make their dreams come true. It takes patience and perseverance and an attitude and it also takes sacrifice. Yes you must be willing to make some kind of sacrifice to see it through. That sacrifice may come in the form of time, money or a number of obstacles. Don’t let these things stop you, make those sacrifices that you need.
I am a true believer of following your dreams. No regrets. The one thing people hate to see in their lives are regrets. You always hear people say how they regret something. If you do not make the effort to follow your dreams you will definitely find yourself with lots of regrets. When you’re chance at your dream comes you must grab that chance and make the most of it, never let anyone tell you that you can’t because you can. People who tell you that you can’t are the ones who suffer regrets because they did not follow their own dream and that makes them not want to see others succeed. You must have a positive attitude because a negative one will only create more negatives in your life. Negatives are excuses and excuses get you nowhere fast.
Think of all the success stories that you have heard in your life. Everyone of those successes came because the person that had the success never let things stop them, they worked around the obstacles, they did what needed to be done without making excuses. I live from paycheck to paycheck so one of my biggest obstacles is money. I know a lot of people in that are in the same boat and I tell them what I am writing here today and that there is a way. I try to always work within my budget and save wherever I can. I don’t mind going without material things if it brings me that one step closer to my dream. I have learned not to squander my money on frivolous items. I have learned not to spend money just because an urge to shop came over me. I will admit that I have done those things in the past and by doing them I was getting nowhere. That instant of gratification can holds you back. Money is always one of the hardest things to overcome, but it is not impossible. I know it is hard for people to see others have so many things in life that they wish they had themselves but the reality is they can if they are willing to make sacrifices and not excuses.
What this all boils down to is how you set your frame of mind. Instead of I can’t say I can. Instead of this is too hard say this is hard but not impossible. Instead of this is impossible say if I work at this it is possible. Your mind is an amazing thing use it to its fullest and you will see those positive things come together in your life. Take every advantage that is given to you and use it to better yourself and your life. Don’t ever let anyone bring you down. This is all within your power. What happens in your life is what you put into your life. Don’t blame others as that is just an excuse. Excuses do not enrich your life and you will not get far on them. Be truthful to yourself and I mean really take a look in the mirror, if you do not like what you see then know that you have the power to make that change. Follow your dream.
My hope is that these words will inspire you to make the most out of your life. Sometimes we get caught up with all the negativity that we read and hear and it brings us down. Don’t let this happen, your life is truly in your hands and your dream is always within your reach, you can do it.
