“Anyone can become angry. That is easy. But to be angry
with the right person, to the right degree, at the right
time, for the right purpose and in the right way – that is
not easy. ” – Aristotle, Philosopher

“If you wish to travel far and fast, travel light. Take off all your
envies, jealousies, unforgiveness, selfishness, and fears.
– Glenn Clark”

15 Steps to Fulfilling Your Wildest Dreams

According to Bill Gates there are 3 keys to success in any new
venture:

1) Being in the right place at the right time. (You could well be
already there!)

2) Have a vision of where the industry/business you’re working in is
going!

3) Taking Massive and Immediate Action! (It is time to act!)

“The future belongs to those who believe in the quality of their
dreams.” Was it Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe, the famous German poet and
philosopher who said those wise words?

Here are my 15 steps to fulfilling my wildest dreams…

1. KNOW YOURSELF
Know and accept your weaknesses and faults (we all have them),
but even more so your strengths, abilities and gifts. Build on your strengths and try
to minimize or improve on your weaknesses. An honest, objective
analysis of yourself is the first step in preparing you for success and realizing
your dreams. Celebrate you for just being you, a unique creation.

Aim for mental clarity about what you most want out of life. Think
about it and write it down. If it’s happiness, what do you mean by
happiness: a sense of belonging, recognition, independence, love, money or security? If
you don’t know where you are and where you want to go with your life,
how will you ever get there? Aim at nothing and you’re sure to hit it.

2. GET PASSIONATE
Don’t apologize for getting passionate. What excites you the most?
If you are not enthusiastic and excited about what you’re doing, your path
in life, you’ll never get others to share your dream. Once you find your
passion, you will have found your POWER, MEANING and PURPOSE in life.

3. SURROUND YOURSELF WITH POSITIVE PASSION

Always be aware. Negative people will poison your dream faster
than anything else.
Motto: “If you can’t be positive, shut up!” Try and stay positive…even in the face of negativity.

4. ACCEPT FROM THE START THAT YOU WON’T PLEASE EVERYONE
You’re going to be misunderstood, misquoted, hurt some feelings,
perhaps even lose some friends (for the time being). Motto: “What other
people think of me is none of my business!” Repeat this statement to yourself,
especially when you doubt or feel discouraged.

5. ALWAYS BE YOURSELF
To thine own self be true. (Shakespeare’s “Hamlet”, act I.3.) This is
supremely important, no matter what the world may think of you.
The masses are conditioned to mediocrity and other people’s success can make
them not feel inferior for their own insignificant little lives. Accept yourself.
Learn from others–but don’t be intimidated by them, or pretend to
be someone you’re not; because…”We are most effective when we’re
being ourselves.”

6. DON’T BE SCARED OF MAKING MISTAKES
The only real mistake is one from which you learn nothing.
Motto: “Far better to try something and fail, than try nothing and succeed!”

7. ACCEPT THAT IT WILL NEVER BE EASY
Realizing your dream may be the hardest, most uphill thing you’ll
ever do. A truth …”You can’t coast uphill.” The key ingredient in success is
never giving up. Keep on keeping on with your quest. It has been said that
“success is 99% made up of failures”.

8. STAY HUMBLE (no matter how successful you may be)

Don’t ever think you’ve made it and arrived–there’s always a lot
ahead, more to do, higher mountains to climb. Motto: “The greatest way to
do our thing has yet to be discovered!”

9. DON’T UNDERESTIMATE YOURSELF
There is incredible power in yourself (in the form of the unique
human mind), but far more so in the forces of the Universe. Make them
work for you by living your life in harmony with these natural forces. Like positive
energy attracts like.
Enough “spiritual” thoughts! Back to the “real world” and you. Avoid
developing an inferiority complex (Who am I, a ‘nothing’?”). Don’t
be filled with feelings of self-pity (“nobody likes me”), or think “I can’t do it.”
These thoughts will steal your dream.

10. HAVE FUN
Nothing is ever as bad as it seems–don’t get too solemn, or serious
or too downcast when things go wrong (as they surely will from time to
time). Take a leaf from Thomas Edison’s book: “I never did a day’s work in my
entire life: it was all FUN!”
Laugh at life’s funny moments…and there are plenty of them. “The
secret of happiness is not in doing what one likes, but in liking what one
does.” – J.M. Barrie

11. DEVELOP ‘THE WILL TO LIVE’
There will be plenty of times when you’ll face the death of your
dream. When failures, disappointments, and criticisms come you need the will and
faith to keep going. Remember: We learn far more from our failures than
our successes, because failures show us what doesn’t work. So, failure is just
one step closer to ultimate success. Often the difference between
failure and success is trying just one more time, picking yourself up off the
canvas after being knocked down time and again.

12. DEVELOP ‘THE WILL TO HELP AND SERVE OTHERS’ Success on its own (i.e., for its own sake) will pollute and corrupt
you–it’s a dead end street unless you have meaning in your life. The
years of struggle breed fortitude and character. The gold may be an inch
away from the seam, where your fellow miners have given up. You need to
succeed for a reason, a purpose, a cause that’s bigger than you! and IF (a very big
if) you’ve fulfilled all the above requirements…

By the time you finish reading this you will realise its just 12 steps
and not 15………..
