The Processes Of Turning Dreams Into Reality [Part 1]

There are some people who have not achieved something worthwhile or have not gotten to where they had wished for, not because they do not have dreams, but because they do not know how to go about the dream. It is true that dreaming is good, but much more than that, there are things you need to know and apply in order for them to be fully realized. One thing to know is that you are absolutely responsible for your dream, and by extension, your life as a whole. This is the reason we should take a look of how one can make their dreams come to reality.

1. Create your desired dream

You will agree with me that the first and most important step towards turning a dream to reality is by having a dream. The dream is the raw material that you need to work with. Obviously, without the presence of raw material, it will be impossible to have a finished product. In the same way, if you do not have a dream, then you will not have the idea of what you need to fulfil. If you want to travel to a particular location, you need to have an idea of the destination you intend to arrive at even if you do not know the route to follow yet. If you have no idea of where your destination is, then every place will look like it and you will end up not arriving at anywhere.

When dreaming, you need to dream big. If your dream is not big enough to spur and motivate you to take actions, then you have not started dreaming big. The truth is that big dreams have ways of making someone to be motivated to take the required actions. However, when you are creating your dream, you should beware not to create something that is obviously impossible. This is because it may become a discouragement instead of a motivation. So be logical with your dreams.

2. Make plans towards your dream

After you have created your dreams, there is a need for you to plan towards it. The dream is like the destination that you want to get to, then the planning is like charting the route to get to the destination. When someone wants to build a house for example, he will already know the kind of house he wants to build - that is like creating a dream. However, there is a need for the person to create an architectural drawing to direct the actions of the builder. So you see, for every dream that you have, you should make plans towards it. Planning is a very vital requirement for the actualization of one's dream.

Without planning, one will not know how to go about their dream. The plan may cover roadmaps (when it has to do with business venture or projects), future projections, working design, etc. Pursuing after a dream that you have not carefully planned out may lead to non-actualisation of the dream. Dream-planning makes you to gain a better speed when you start to take actions towards the dream that you have planned, because there is already something to guide your actions.

3. Take actions towards your dream

No matter how big you have dreamt and no matter how detailed your plans are, what guarantees the future of the dream is the action that is put into it. A dream will remain in its state of dormancy or like just any other dream until a relevant action has been put into it. It is not just taking action that counts but taking relevant action which is result-oriented and has the goal in mind. One thing to also know is that even though the relevant action is taken, it should be taken at the right time. Delaying an action, even if it is a relevant action, may invalidate the proposed result. So take that step towards your dream today.

More often than not, It is not the size of the step you take towards your dream that counts but the promptness of the action. A seemingly little step, if taken at the right time, will bring about unimaginable result, it may even be better than a giant stride that has been delayed more than required. So you should not wait for when you will take a giant stride to take the required step towards the fulfilment of your dreams, take the little steps today.
