Making dreams come true

As I am still working on being to write the magic lines - My book 'Briefs - A collection of short stories' is available for purchase on Amazon, I wanted to share my thoughts on making dreams come true with you (yes I am onto a further edit of the book as suggested by my ever so wise husband).

What is different about people who seem to have been able to realise their dreams to those that have not? Not much, is my guess, except perhaps for determination and vision.

I think to make your dreams come true you need the following:

1.  Know what your dream is. What exactly to you want to do/achieve? Many people never follow their dream because they simply do not really know or understand themselves what it is. There is a difference between knowing exactly what you want to be or achieve and a general state of dissatisfaction of ones life.
2. Find out all the information you can about your dream. What do you need to do to achieve it? Remember small steps lead to great things.
3. Ask for help. There is nothing wrong with asking other people for help.
4. Set time aside each day where you make time to work on your dream. Often people do not achieve their dreams because they simply do not work at it.
5. Don't listen to critics. There will be many people who will point out all the reasons to you why you will not achieve your dream. How many times have I heard that writing does not make any money. At the end of the day you have to do what you enjoy doing (I appreciate you need to eat as well), but listening to critics is a sure way of not achieving your dreams.
6. Set yourself realistic goals. You must be familiar with the saying you cannot run before you can walk. It applies to most things in life. And, Rome of course was not built in a day either.
7. And once you have achieved your dream make sure you have another.

So what are you waiting for? Dare to dream. Get out there and do it, whatever it is you want to do.

Dare to be different :)
