Is The Word “Impossible” Shattering Your Dreams?

Published by Lori

At some point in our lives, almost every one of us have dreamed of being somebody special. How many times have you dreamed of being rich, or successful, or perfectly balanced in every area of our life?

Many of us have big dreams and great aspirations. I do. Do you?

Unfortunately, for many, dreams often remain just that – dreams.

Why?  Because they don’t ACT on their dreams.

So, what causes some of us to not take action?

Are we afraid to try and fail?  Are we afraid to try and succeed?

Quote H FordOr … do we doubt our ability or our capability?  Are there voices around us, or inside us telling us that our dream is impossible?

Because, if we believe it’s ‘impossible’, then it is.

To actually ACHIEVE your Dream you have to BELIEVE that it is POSSIBLE!

The word “impossible” is the biggest obstacle to ever achieving our dreams.

In fact, thinking our dream is “impossible” shatters our dream from EVER becoming reality.

Thank God not everyone thinks like that, or we would still be living without electricity, telephones, airplanes, space exploration, air conditioning, automobiles … you get the idea.

When the inventor dreamed of each of those inventions, everyone else thought it was impossible at the time. But the inventor didn’t give up on their dream. They took action. And with perseverance, determination, and unwavering vision, he or she was able to actually accomplish their “dreams.” And because of others who believe their dreams are POSSIBLE, we continue to be amazed daily with new innovations, inventions, and redesigns that change how we do almost everything.

Anything is Possible – if you Believe and take Action

So, you’re probably wondering how you can achieve your dream?

First, Know Your Dream. You must have a crystal clear vision of what it is. And Believe it with every fiber of your being. Know in your heart and mind that it is possible for you.

See yourself living in that dream and see how others around you are also benefiting from you living your dream. Some people find it helpful to put together a vision board. A physical collage of pictures of your actual dreams – that car, that house, your child graduating from college, the vacation you’ve always wanted, the actual balance in your checking account.  Whatever it is, look at it several times a day and BELIEVE It Is POSSIBLE.

Then, Put a Plan Together to make it happen.  Will you start a new business, expand the one you currently have, get a better paying job, start a home business to generate a second income?  Figure out what it is that you need to do to get you to your dream.  Surround yourself with folks who are already where you want to be. They can help you take your life to the next level and help you put your plan together and then keep you on track to success.

Finally, Take MASSIVE Action. Knowing your dream and seeing it clearly isn’t enough. Neither will all the planning and strategy development.  You HAVE to Work at it – Relentlessly and with Determination and Perseverance.

Everyone can live their dream!

The only thing stopping you is you!

I would love to help you live your dream. 

 

IT’S POSSIBLE. BELIEVE IT AND YOU CAN ACHIEVE IT.

 

I Believe in You!

 

Let me coach you to success.

Living Your Dream … One Step At A Time

Published by Lori

No matter how ambitious your dream, you CAN achieve it. You do it by taking one step at a time.

Here are a 5 simple steps to help you:

1. Visualize Your Dream: The first step is to create a mental picture of your goal. Get very clear on what you want. Are you gaining a new skill? Hitting a new revenue goal? Landing a new important client? See and feel it.

2. Define Your Dream: Be very precise and write your dream down. Outline how much and by when. Add in specific information and resources (money, marketing materials, software, etc.) you will need to acquire to achieve your dream.

3. Post It: Put a copy of your written dream – or better yet, an actual picture of your dream – in a place you can easily see it: next to your desk, on your mirror, in your wallet… Read it or look at it several times throughout each day.

4. Find or Ask For Support: Who can help you achieve your dream? Who are your cheerleaders? List the people and companies you will need to contact for assistance.

Act Dream Plan Believe5. Make a Plan: When a dream seems too big, we tend to procrastinate because it is too overwhelming. Breaking it down and focusing on one piece at a time makes large dreams more attainable. Develop a series of action steps with dates attached. As you finish each task, check it off and acknowledge yourself.

That’s it — five simple steps to achieve anything.

As you move along, enjoy the journey.

You are learning, growing, and accomplishing. Take time to appreciate your progress.

Living your dream does not happen by accident. It is a series of intentional small steps, proper planning, and a stubborn commitment to make it happen.

Here’s your challenge for today!  Take Action to start Living Your Dream

ACTION STEP: You can begin right now! What do you really want to achieve? Write down your dream. You CAN do it!

What Do You Think?

Published by Lori

Have you noticed how seldom you are asked “what do you think?”

I know I am usually bombarded with advertisements and emails that tell me what I should think.  Rarely do they ask me what I think.

I’m reading an incredible book by John Maxwell entitled, “How Successful People Think.” It is an inspiration and a challenge to me to not only ask myself “what do you think,” but also to look at how I think.

Maxwell states that truly successful people set aside time to think.

Without proper time invested in thinking, dreaming, rethinking, mentally designing and evaluating, we won’t be able to generate new ideas effectively.

And I believe this is especially true for entrepreneurs like you and me.

ChangeYrThoughtsWe need to spend a little time each week just thinking. Working mentally on new ideas, enhancements for things we have in the works, reinventions of what isn’t working.

If I Change My Thinking … I can Change My Life!

Everyone is talking these days about mindset – and don’t get me wrong – I believe that our mindset is critical! It’s the foundation for everything.

But I’ve been challenged by Maxwell to spend time thinking. To train my mind to generate and evaluate possibilities. And my attitude and mindset is the basis of how these possibilities will be presented to me.

If I’m determined to Live My Dream – and I am – I must dream and think productively about what that life is, and then take action to make it happen. My thoughts will become things, but nothing will happen for me unless I think it and then do it.

I don’t know about you, but if my mindset and my thoughts create my world, then I need  to be proactive and productive when it comes to my thinking.

As Eddie Rickenbacker, WW1 flying ace, said, “Think things through – then follow through.”

In my business of coaching, training, and motivation, it’s critical that I am constantly learning and challenging myself. It’s what keeps me growing as a person, and gives me new perspectives to enhance my interaction with students, clients and others. My goal is to pass on what I’m learning and help myself and others to do something more, something better, that will take all of us to where we are each living our dream.

My plan for today is to set aside some time to just think and dream. I’m going to set up my “thinking place” (as Maxwell calls it), where I will go to spend quality “mental time” with my thoughts and dreams.

So … Let me ask you again …

What Do You Think?

Let me challenge you to answer that question and then take specific steps to positively impact your mindset. Then, use your mindset to generate ideas and dreams that will get you to your dream.

I know we can do this.

Have a beautiful day!

Living my Dream,

Lori
