Be Clear about Your Dreams
“What are your dreams?”
.
.
One night, my friend and I decided to hang out in a coffee shop in Makati Business District (the business center in the Philippines) not to converse, but to do our respective affairs – me, to work in my laptop and she to recollect with a pen and paper. She warned me not mind her.
.
.
In the middle of my writing, I glanced at her and I saw that she was staring somewhere far with a blank face as if she was suddenly out of her mind. Then she smiled, and giggled, and laughed…by herself!
.
.
I asked her, “Are you okay?” And she said, “Yes I am. I just remembered something.”
.
.
My friend had a peculiar way of recollecting but at least she accomplished what she had to do – she was able to lay down her plans and dreams. As of this writing, she’s now living her dream of exploring the wonders of Europe and she has been there for more than three years now.
.
.
To help us know our dreams, there are two very simple questions that we need to ask ourselves. There may be other effective ways of knowing your dreams. To keep things simple, I’d like to present you these two questions, something that I’ve also learned from the books I’ve read.
.
.
One, what makes you happy?
If money were not an issue, what profession would you like to pursue?
.
.
Two, what do you do best?
Among the many talents that you have, where do you excel the most?
.
.
It’s very important that the answers to the two questions should coincide for you to realize your dreams faster.
.
.
For instance, if recording an album makes you happy but you are tone deaf, there’s a very slim chance (maybe 0.05% chance) that you would realize your dream of becoming a recording artist.
.
.
I once dreamt of becoming a very good pianist. I took piano lessons and I diligently studied my assignments. After months of taking piano lessons, I was not able to master a single piano piece.
.
.
Good thing there’s one talent that I love doing and it’s also what I do best – writing! It is my passion. I feel this immeasurable joy, this fire in my belly, this passion so consuming when I write. So my dreams revolve around writing.
.
.
One of my dreams is to become a best-selling author that could inspire and touch the lives of thousands (or even millions) of readers.
.
.
Be very clear about what you want. You should be able to visualize your dreams like seeing it from a 20/20 vision.
.
.
The road towards your dreams may not be a smooth-sailing one. Along the way, you may encounter setbacks, hurdles, humps, and challenges. The key here is to keep moving forward.
.
.
Do not give up just easily. If you were unsuccessful the first time, try again and again and again.
.
.
Go ahead. Write down your dreams. Be very clear about your dreams.
.
.One of th
One of the things I love to do is to check in in a hotel by myself or go to some quiet place where I could think, plan, dream, read a book, or write a book.
.
.
Sometimes I would attend facilitated retreats or seminars that would allow me to think things through.
.
.
I love doing these because these occasions allow me to clarify what I really want to do in life, write down my dreams, visualize them, and create concrete plans on how to achieve them.
.
.
I invite you to do the same. I realized how important it is to be clear about your dreams and make them concrete — either by writing them down or creating a vision board — and this is one of the reasons why my friend Trixie and I came up with a seminar-workshop on Vision Board.
