If You Want to Live Your Dreams, Boldness Holds the Key
Ok, here we are still in the first week of the New Year. You probably made some resolutions, set some goals or just told yourself “2012 is going to be a great year for me.” You are looking forward with a positive attitude and you’re still pretty pumped up about having a great year. But let me ask you, “Are you living your dreams?” Are you taking steps to live your dreams? Do you believe you can Live Your Dreams? Can you picture yourself living your dreams? What does that look like?
Don’t Waste the Day
We each get a set number of days in a year, a set number of hours in a day, a set number of minutes in an hour, a set number of seconds in a minute. Once we spend that time it’s gone forever! Each hour, each minute, each second is precious and You Have a Choice as to How You Will Spend It. Think about it: You have the ability, with every breath you take, to make a choice as to how you will live the next moment of your life. You have the choice in every moment to Live Your Dreams. Don’t waste the day! Make a difference in your life and the life of others. Choose to Live Your Dreams!
Be Bold and Live Your Dreams
How come some people get much more done in a day than others? I think I know the answer to that one and I will reveal it later on in this post. You can live your dreams. All you have to do is make a choice, make a commitment, be bold and step into your greatness! Don’t waste this day. Don’t lose this day to senseless routines, useless idling or haphazard dawdling. There is a quote that you’ve probably heard before by Von Goethe “Boldness has genius, power and magic in it.” It is a very famous quote from a larger piece of writing called “Lose this day loitering”. Here is the whole stanza. Read it a couple times and let it sink in.
Lose This Day Loitering
Lose this day loitering – ’twill be the same story
To-morrow – and the next more dilatory;
Each indecision brings its own delays
And days are lost lamenting o’er lost days.
Are you in earnest? seize this very minute –
Boldness has genius, power and magic in it.
Only engage, and then the mind grows heated –
Begin it, and then the work will be completed!
~ Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe
Are You in Earnest to Live Your Dreams?
I love this poem! It inspires me to Take Action! I told you earlier in the post that I would give you the answer to how some people get so much more accomplished in a day, in a year, in their lives. The answer is simple. The happy people, the successful people, the great people of all ages Take Action to Live their Dreams! When you have a dream, it gives your life purpose, you have something to live for and you have something to motivate you to take action and live your dreams.
Have you lost confidence in yourself? Does it seem like your dreams are too far away to reach? Ask yourself, “Am I in earnest to live my dreams?” If you are not, you need to bring them more clearly into focus, see your dreams, feel your dreams, live your dreams in your imagination first and you will begin to make them real. Take action every day to live your dreams, discipline yourself to take one action every day towards your dreams. Next week , next month, next year will come anyway and do you want to look back in regret? The pain of regret is much worse than the pain of discipline!
Live your Dreams: The Secret
The secret to reaching your goals and living your dreams is in this poem. The Secret is to Be Bold! Boldness has genius, power and magic in it! The Secret is to “Begin it, and then the work will be completed!” which is the last line in this poem. Make your goal/dream/project BIG. Don’t think about how far away it is, how you are going to finish it or how overwhelming the goal may seem. The Secret is just to begin. Once you begin, “the mind grows heated’ and “the work will be completed.” There are only two steps to Live Your Dreams.
1) Have a dream, make it clear, see it and feel it in your imagination
2) Be bold and take action towards your dream. Just begin….
