It is not good enough for me to
dream and talk about dreams, I must turn those dreams into
reality. To this end I have searched all my life for the
1,2,3 step process for making something happen. Here are
the best steps I have researched over the years.
1st Step:
Vision: A vision is a picture of what your dream
will look like when it is finished. If you dream of being
a millionaire go ahead and paint a picture of what being a
millionaire would look like for you. What type of house
will you own, what type of car will you drive, and what will
your cashflow look like.
2nd Step:
Bet your Life: Your life is made up of time and
energy. If you are not willing to exchange your time and
energy for your dream, it will not happen. Dreams do not
come true, but they take a lot of work.
3rd Step:
Focus: How many horses can you ride at once?
One not twelve, right? The same is true of your
dreams. You must focus on your dream and let the
other things go.
4th Step:
Write it Down: This is the step that separates
those who want to talk about their dreams from those who want to
do their dreams. Get a blank book and write down your
dreams as clear as possible.
5th Step:
Strategy: Now is the time to develop a one.. two..
three step process for getting from where you are to where you
want to be. You probably will not know all the steps, but
you can write down the 1, 2, or 15 steps. This is very
important because it gives you a road map for getting to your
dreams.
6th Step:
Affirmation: Once you have a picture of your dream
and a plan for getting there, it is now time to set your
conversations with yourself. Too many of us say one thing
in our minds and something contradictory in our hearts. We
say "I'm on a diet" then in the next breath we say
"I can never loose weight on a diet." The first
statement is what we want to happen and the second is what we
really believe. We must change this. It is important
to be consistent in language we use and the conversations we
have with others. So write a one sentence statement of
what you want to be true. (see article #3) Instead of
saying "I am on a diet. I can never loose weight on a
diet." say "I weigh 160 lbs in a firm healthy
body" Repeat it once in the morning and once in the
evening. Therefore bring your heart and mind into sync.
7th Step:
Persistence: Persistence is more than just
hanging on. Persistence involves seeing where you are
stuck and finding a way around the problem. If you are
remodeling your house and you don't know how to replace the
kitchen cabinets, just hanging in there is not the answer.
You will be stuck there forever. It is time to find an
expert and learn the 1,2,3 steps around your problem.
8th Step:
The final step of turning dreams into reality is to have faith.
Faith is believing in something you do not see. A ship
leaving New York harbor can not see it's final destination for
a full 99.9% of the journey. But the captain has faith
that he will reach his port of call if he persists in the right
action. The same is true of your dreams. Like the
captain you must have faith that your dreams will come true if
you persist in doing the right things.

Dreams they do come true.
