It certainly can’t be easy to achieve it, because if it were, it wouldn’t be categorized as a ‘dream’, would it?
So I ask you: Have you ever thought of giving up on your dream?
Probably, you’ll answer no, without blinking. After all: How so? Give up on a dream?!
And I pose a new challenge to you: — How long have you been dreaming? And until now? Nothing?
Many people have idealized wonderful things for themselves. An amazing trip, a beautiful house, an excellent companion, the car of the year. Yes, everyone will tell you that they aspire to something that could be translated as — happiness — and that’s where the mistake lies.
In fact, I would say that there are two big mistakes that keep us away from what we desire:
1. Putting our goals in the category — dream –
2. Translating the achievement of our dreams as being — happiness –
Notice that the media massifies numerous testimonies of celebrities and successful people, repeating the same phrase, when it comes to telling us how they achieved success. As if they had studied from the same book, they will repeat at the end of an interview, the old cliché “never give up on your dreams”.
Let’s consult the dictionary:
DREAM = Utopia; unfounded imagination; fantasy; reverie; illusion; short-lived happiness; vain hopes; chimerical ideas.
HAPPINESS = State of a happy, satisfied, cheerful, contented person; satisfaction; real feeling of complete satisfaction; state of contentment. State of someone who is lucky
Based on these definitions, I challenge you to think differently. For what you desire to stop being a dream (fantasy), you need to make it a GOAL. And besides: Happiness cannot be there at the end, in the realization. It has to be in the daily process of achieving that goal. To achieve happiness you need to practice JOY. Therefore, I invite you to give up this unattainable and utopian dream and also, to not wait for that happy ending.
How about we exchange all this for the daily joy of achieving a goal?
Start now. You can make a small savings, saving only what you can. You can disconnect from past memories and frustrations that prevent you from taking a step in the direction of what you seek. How about taking a course that can improve a talent of yours and generate an increase in income?
Research the paths you need to take to achieve your goal. Understand what the difficulties are and develop your own method of getting a little closer to that ideal every day. This path may not be easy, but you will walk it with the joy of someone who is sure of a wonderful prize at the end.
And so, you will be happy from now on, during and at the end. The change of attitude is to walk attentively in the direction of what you want to achieve.
Dreamers who walk are sleepwalkers lost who don’t know where they’re going. Feel like a deserving one. The dreamer is asleep. Stay alert!
