The Difference Between Dreams & Wishes
If I could say just one reason why the vast majority of people will never achieve their dreams is that they do not take persistent action.
Too many people sit back and expect something to happen to them!
You might hear them say things like...
"When I win the lottery..." (wealth)
"When I finally get that promotion at work..." (money, prestige)
"When [insert situation] happens to me..."
What they don't realize is that dreams require THEM to create it! They need to work towards that dream.
Otherwise, they are just confusing dreams and wishes. Simply put:
A wish is a dream without action.
To make a dream into reality requires effort to bring it forth. Since most dreams are large, it often needs persistent effort for years.
For most people that is too long and too much work. So they wish and wait. They hope to eventually be in the right place at the right time and fall into success.
That isn't a smart plan, it's more like gambling with your life. A smart plan is based on something you can control - like your conscious effort.
If you are reading this and don't know how to break out of the cycle of waiting, do this twice a week.
Just Do Something Twice Per Week That Moves You Closer To Your Dream
It can be something small, something big, or something in-between. Anything is good because what really matters is that you are moving towards your goal. That simple thing will set you ahead of at least 80% of the population.
Think about it; two things per week is 104 things per year. If you do 104 things per year that move your closer to your dream, it is practically guaranteed that you will arrive at some point in the future.
Do you realize what that means? The life of your dreams is within your grasp, all you have to do is reach out and grab it!
Very true my friend! One must take action, continually to relieve dreams. It is amazing how just small actions each day can add up.
It's the small things (done repeatedly) that really do make or break your life. But that's the stuff that people don't think about.
Wauhhh so motivstive. I'm actually shaping my dreams and see how I'll face the world after campus. I know I have thousands plans but ill have to focus on one
Make it the best one, Jona!
This is such a reminder!
No one but yourself will make it happen - so what are people waiting for?
Everything Starts with the FIRST Step. Action is a Step.
That it is. Just look at you, you are living the life that was once only your dream.
This is just too awesome. Dreams without work is dead
Thanks for reading. What is your dream?
Indeed a dream is a wish without action. Some people just see dreams but do not struggle to make their dream come true. One the other hand, some are the people whose dreams does not even let them sleep and struggle hard for their dreams. Thank you for sharing. Appreciative!!!! Good day ^_^
A person has to go out there and get it done, or else be content with the way your life is right now.
Indeed
STOPSlow steady effort will always improve your life. And even if you do not feel much improvement, realize where you would be without it.
That's why I love tracking your progress. It is so easy to forget how far you have come, but with a tracker you can look back and see how well you are doing.
Yep , I have been around those "if I won the Lotto" type people in my Life.
They enjoy talking about it and having a beer and day dreaming about it rather than pursuing it.
Bizarre to me
The world is full of'em
Wise words as always @getonthetrain
Some people seem to simply be waiting for stuff to happen and magically arrive at their goals without doing anything substantial.
Taking constant action requires discipline and in my opinion, not everyone is disciplined enough to keep going after a certain time.
But I agree with the fact that for achieving our goals, we would have to get closer little by little, until eventually we will be where we want to be.
It just requires patient and discipline.
Cheers mate!
No, most people lack the determination and/or discipline to accomplish big things in their lives.
