“If one advances confidently in the direction of his dreams, and endeavors to live the life which he has imagined, he will meet with success unexpected in common hours.” Henry David Thoreau
Another good quote on the subject of dreams (I am not sure who this comes from) is:
“Dream more while you are awake than you do while you are asleep.”
How often do you dream during the day? Ever spend a couple of minutes just thinking about what could be?
The dreams (or goals or whatever you call them) that enter your mind during the day are the ones that you should focus on when setting your goals. I have also heard “Goals are dreams that are written down”.
What do you dream of?
Do you dream of having a enough money to write a large check to charity?
Do you dream of being in shape?
Do you dream of weighing a certain amount?
Do you dream of paying for your kids college?
Imagine to yourself how you will feel when you accomplish your dreams.
Take a minute to dare to dream. The possibilities are endless. And once you have found something that really gets you excited (gives you goose bumps), grab a pen and paper and write it down.
We all need to start taking action every day to make our dreams come true. But first you need to take a couple of minutes to dream. You will be amazed at the result. You will meet with success unexpected in common hours.
