How Good Are You To Your Dream?

When we started out in life at a very tender age, we had a blur/clear vision of where we want to be and what we want to do with our lives.

Most of these visions are aborted and some are stillborn because the owners made them what they are – dreams!. Mere dreams! Nothing but dreams!

However, at the other end of the spectrum are very (lucky?) few who were true to their dreams. They had a clear, unobstructed view of their visions and they set out to work on them and they allow nothing else to come in until they have reached their destination. Of course, they tweak it here and there along the way but they never deviated from their original vision. Their dreams remain intact and they remain unrelenting without distraction.

What is your dream for your online business, your marriage, your career and your family? How close are you to realizing your dreams what challenges are you facing right now? Don’t you think you can overcome them?

The question is: where are you? Where is your dream? Has it been thrown to the winds at the instance of seemingly insurmountable challenges?

Why did you give up on your laudable idea? Is it time factor? Lack of money? Lack of skills? Or lack of tools? Whatever it is I want you to know that what prevents you from getting to your destination is the challenges you are presently facing. Interestingly, the challenges (or whatever you choose to call it) are not as difficult as you imagine them to be. The challenges are just putting up bold and intimidating face to scare you away, thereby stifling life out of your dream. Inwardly, the challenges are coward and very soft. Arise, be bold and attack every challenges on your way and you will be surprised the way they would melt away.

Often time, what keep you from realizing your dream is inconsistence and lack of perseverance. Probably you saddled yourself with many unrelated dreams and your efforts are never consolidated to achieve any of them. How sad!

I leave you with this: how true you are to your dream is a function of your clear vision; purposefulness, consistence, persistence and positive expectations of the outcome of your efforts.

Swallowing The Bitter Pill Of Inaction!

It is ironical that I have at one time or the other in my articles say one or two things about taking actions that would generate the results we desired. Despite this, I recently swallowed the bitter pill of inaction. This has revealed to me the imperfection in us all as mortals. Often time, we desired or want one thing and despite the fact that it is ours for grabs we still fail to have it simply because we fail to do that which we are supposed to do. Just like Apostle Paul said: “that which I suppose to do I do not; and that which I ought not to do that I do”

On May 1st 2006, I attended a FREE SEMINAR on “4 steps to create a system that would guarantee money into your bank account even why you sleep”.

Expectedly, probably because it was free, many people attended. However the desire of financial freedom must have prompted many people to turn up at the venue of the seminar very early. People trooped in droves because they desired to change their fortune and probably enhance or rewrite their destiny!

However, it was not until almost a year later that many of us came to the realization that we had gone to the seminar to waste not just our time but the organizer’s. Why? WE TOOK LITTLE OR NO ACTION on what we were thought that day and thereby generated Zero result! How sad I was to discovered that I was one of the majority that took little or no action.

In actual fact, I did took action but my efforts in that respect were not concentrated enough to generate the result that was desired. Let’s just say I got distracted along the way. I lost focus and got immersed in the hectic and strenuous life out there.

The gravity of the loss my inaction caused me hit me hard like a sledge hammer when I read and saw the picture on the newspaper of one of the attendees, of the seminar that refused to be among the crowd by taking decisive action and thereby generated expected results, being presented with $500 just because he acted and proved the organizer of the seminar right! In addition to whatever amount of money he might have realized for implementing the program, he received a cool 500 dollar crispy note. What a reward for simply tasking action.

Then it dawn on me that those of us that failed to take action on what we learn at the seminar were simply selfish because we refused to offer the world the best that lies within us. Somebody somewhere is suffering, struggling and wallowing in pains, all kinds of pain, all because we failed to act and do that which we are supposed to do.

But thank God it is never too late because we are still alive, we can still go back to our notes – to the basics- and begin to do that which we are supposed to do and very soon we too, would beginning to enjoy the fruit and unending benefits of taking action and in a short while the taste of the bitter pill of inaction that has pervaded our being will be replaced by sweetness of winning brought about by acting and doing that which are necessary.
