The original title of this article is “Just do it”, a very famous slogan of a certain sportswear. Well, I am not advertising this line of sportswear. I am really apt to discussing the essence of this phrase that will help those people who are afraid of reaching their dreams.
Here are the five steps to overcome any fears in your mind along the way of reaching your dreams.
Define your Dream
Knowing what you want in life is half- way reached. Be specific
to the kind of dreams to want to achieve. Do not say “I want to become successful”,
rather say the kind of career you want to pursue, declare that “I want to be a successful Physician or a Pop Singer”. Have details, describe it, feel it.Plan your Dream
Make plans on how you will be able to realize your dreams. Decide on when you will reach such dream, put the exact date. Know on how, when, where you will start. Look for people who can help you, probably a mentor who has an expertise in the field you are pursuing. And do simple things that will improve your skills leading to the realization of your goal. If you are dreaming of becoming a writer, you can start through writing essays, diary, or blog maybe. Attend seminars to learn from expert people.Act on your Dream
“Plan your work, work your plan”. Seldom do this third step because of so many doubts. A writer said that, “Many people know where they want to go but few take action”. You should take a massive and determined action. Take the risk. Some may laugh. Many will follow. Do not wait for any lucky or favorable day, it will never happen. You are the only person can make your life a success or a failure one. Commit to the success you want to have.Focus on your Dream
Along the way problems will come as you are trying to reach your dreams. You must be willing to pay the price. You must not give up when short set backs arise. Hold on to your vision. Learn to lift up yourself when no one is around. Do not be distracted by the negative comments which you will surely hear from the people around you. Continue to keep moving on. Always remember, “The winner never quits, the quitter never wins”.Have Faith
Claim your dreams as if it is already yours. Trust God after doing everything you can. Believe that God has prepared something far beyond what you have dreamed and imagined. Always be just and be right in dealing with people for in the end of the days, He will not ask for what you have got. God will ask you this, “What have you done for my people?”
So, you got all the steps that will help you achieve for your own dreams. No matter how many people may try to discourage you, do not ever give up. Prove that their opinions are just their own opinions. Your life does not depend on them for you depend on God. He created you for a definite purpose. And that is to bless the world. You have got a dream, right? And now, you have got a plan. So what are you waiting for? Just do it!
