Simple Steps To Get Back On The Path Of Achieving your Dreams

By Isa Zapata













Dreams are part of us! We all have dreams butnot all of us believe that there are achievable.

We all had dreams when we were kids but those dreams start to vanish, as we getolder and learn about “limitations”. That’s when we start to say that dreamsare for kids!

We’ll if that were true, Walt Disney may have never had created all his magicalcharacters that bring so much joy to our lives, or Steve Jobs may neverbelieved he could change the world working from his parents garage.

So yes dreams are possible! But it’s up to us to believe in them again andshare them with the world. 

When you believe in yourself and yourdreams, the whole world will!

Our dreams must come from our hearts and not from ego. And what I mean by thatis dreams as life itself have always two paths in this, they are EGO or HEART.

An example of someone having a dream coming from EGO could be: “I want tobecome rich so I can have collections of Luxury Automobiles so I may show themoff to all my friends” that’s a simple but clear example of a dream that comesfrom EGO.

Dreams that come from your heart are dreams based on making a difference, helping people (including our families)and adding something positive to society.

So it’s very important to know where our dreams come from. If you’re not surewhich place does your dream come from then ask yourself if your dream can makea difference in someone else’s life, that simple shift will give the passionand strength to keep on going no matter what lies ahead.

Another quality to focus on is PERSEVERANCE.That word needs to be written onyour forehead! Let’s be clear…I’m not talking about getting a tattoo but, justkeep that word as your daily reminder when obstacles appear because they will.And when those obstacles come, remember the words from Winston Churchill “NEVERNEVER GIVE UP”.

When obstacles appear learn from your mistakes and keep on moving forwardtowards your dream!

It is very important to keep your mind open and be able to REINVENT YOURSELF if it’s necessary. Sometimes changes need to bemade. We may start with an idea but that idea is not working so tweak it untilit does.

NO PLAN B! Yes you heard that right!If you start following your dream with a plan B, it’s like getting married andhave a girlfriend on the side in case the marriage doesn’t work. Can youimagine the result of that marriage? Well the same goes for your dreams if youhave a plan b, you’ll never put all the guts that it takes to make it happen!

BYE BYE NEGATIVITY! Alienatenegative people and thoughts from your life and mind! You don’t need to havedaily reminders of all the bad things that can go wrong. Only surround yourselfwith people that support you and believe in you!

Tell the people around you that you gladly accept positive criticism to grow andperfect out whatever you are doing but do not accept negativity! Those are twovery different things and you need to know how to differentiate them.

It’s also very important to remember that  “It’s not the destination butthe journey that matters”  so enjoy every single second of the journey,both the good and the bad. Those moments are building something essential inyourself; they are building you to be the person capable of achieving theirdreams!
