1. Jot down Your Goals
That’s
right, pen and paper! I call it a bucket list but you can call it whatever you
like. It’s important to write down legitimate, measurable goals. Saying, “A
dream career” is not enough, but saying, “A career in travel writing as a
blogger/journalist” is a step in the right direction.
2. Focus on Your Dreams Completely
If you
are serious about living your dreams, you may have to put a few things on the
back burner for a while or let go of the past. I was a school teacher for eight
years but it wasn’t my dream job. I needed to accept that just because I went
to school for eight years to be a teacher, doesn’t mean that my life should be
confined to that career. Figure out what’s meaningful to you so you can be who
you were born to be. Don’t waste your life fulfilling someone else’s dreams and
desires. You must follow your intuition
and make a decision. While many of us decide at some point during the course of
our lives that we want to answer our calling, only a select few of us actually
work on it. Remember, life is not easy,
especially when you plan on achieving something worthwhile. Achieving your dreams can be a lot of
work. Be ready for it.
3. Seek Inspiration
Follow
those who inspire you. Seeing others achieve their dreams is extremely
inspiring. You are the sum of the people you spend the most time with. If you spend your time with the right people,
you will be far more capable and powerful than you ever could have been alone.
4. Lose the Negative Attitude
Think positively; negative thinking creates negative results. Positive thinking creates positive results. That’s it. Positive thinking is at the forefront of every great success story. The mind must believe it can do something before it is capable of actually doing it.

5. Measure your Success in Baby Steps
Don’t
measure your success by looking at your final goal but instead by each and
every baby step you achieve along the way. Sometimes we discourage ourselves by
withholding cheering for our accomplishments until we reach our final
destination. Cheer, cheer, cheer and build momentum along the way.
