We all have dreams for the future. Goals that are ripe for achieving. Ever since we were born, we’ve wanted to impact the world in some way and stand out from the crowd. Every day we hope that someone will notice us and recognize us for some special achievement. Maybe we want to be on stage, giving a speech to an enormous audience. We want to have that honorable stride as we get on stage, have the tears in our eyes as we stand tall, and proclaim our thanks to a number of people who stood behind us in our lives.
Then your reality hits you. It punishes you for thinking such thoughts. “How dare you betray your reality? Who do you think you are? Why risk ridicule when it is so much easier to struggle through life on your way to the top?. ”Within seconds of dreaming, you succumb to your reality’s torment. You pretend as if you never dreamed in the first place. Your dream lies dormant, forgotten.
But you know that in the back of your mind, it still shines. Even if it’s just a flicker, you know it’s still there. It’s waiting. Waiting for you to remove the shackles of reality and grab hold of your destiny. But unfortunately for you and your dream, you don’t know how to do so. No one seems to be pushing you to break away from reality. You get paid on a regular basis to work your regular hours. You aren’t going to get paid to try and get a role as a movie star, singer, writer, business mogul, etc. You aren’t paid to try at all. And that’s really the point, isn’t it?
You are recognized for your actions, not your thoughts. If everyone was reimbursed for just thinking, would fame, fortune, and success even matter anymore? They would become cheap and useless. Nobody would care. That’s why it is up to you to take action. Turn your dreams into reality by doing, not trying. You need to form an intention in your mind and make a decision. The very act of doing is the manner in which we carry out a task.
