How to Pursue Your Dreams | 5 Things to Keep In Mind While You Pursue Your Dreams

You desire to go for your goals. There are many goals and desires you have. But despite the fact that nobody is stopping you, for some reason, you’re hesitant.

You alone are in charge of deciding what you can and cannot do. So, how do you go about achieving your goals? Here are some things to remember:

Don’t Just Think, Do

Action is what separates those who pursue their aspirations from those who do not (the dream creators from the day dreamers). You can dream all you want, but if you don’t do anything, your dreams will remain just that.

Making those first moves is probably the scariest part, and doubters will no doubt warn you about the dangers and reasons not to: “You can’t make money like that,” “what if you don’t make it,” “it’s not safe.” But don’t let them stop you; take those first steps anyway because if you don’t try, you’ll never know.

You’ll find yourself rolling and trusting in your course once you start acting and burst past that enormous wall. When you’re living in accordance with what you desire, things start to fit together, make sense, and fall into place. Taking action is the best way to demonstrate to yourself and others that you are serious about pursuing your objectives. By the way, it doesn’t have to be enormous to start; it might be something as easy as enrolling in a class to learn a new skill or sending out a few emails!

Believe In Yourself

It seems easy, but it’s really crucial! You must have faith in your own dreams if you want to realize them. We all have negative ideas, but if you actively work to change them, the odds of success increase. If you don’t have faith in yourself to realize your dreams, you won’t inspire others to have faith in you either, and all it will take is one remark from someone who doesn’t to set you back to square one. I am aware that some may find it difficult. I frequently battle with my self-esteem, but I’ve found that using affirmations to reprogram my mind and subconscious helps.

Making a Plan

Every dream needs to be expressed as a strategy. It’s true what they say: “You get what you plan for.” Your dream won’t simply come true. You must regularly plan your approach to realizing the idea by sitting down. Consider all the ramifications. Dissect the overall strategy into manageable pieces. After that, give each task on your “dream plan” a deadline.

Have a Relevant Income Stream or Savings 

So, to some extent, what the people around you are saying has some basis; steadiness is actually crucial, especially in the beginning. You know deep down that you can make a living doing what you really want to do, but take a moment to consider what will also be helpful in the near term; how can you make an immediate income that won’t restrict your efforts and is still partly tied to your original, broader dream?

For instance, you may handle other firms’ accounts in the interim if you know how to grow an account and wish to be a “influencer”. Maybe you’d like to work as a makeup artist or fashion photographer. Apply for positions as an assistant. Save money beforehand or obtain permits so you may work while traveling if you wish to tour the world.

For a number of reasons, this is significant:

-Survival and lifestyle

-Developing your skills.

-Mental health: Lack of funds combined with self-doubting thoughts like “no one thinks I’m going to succeed” and “am I doing the right thing” will put you in flight or fight mode, which will prevent you from working at your full potential and producing high levels of productivity. It will also cause anxiety, sadness, and imposters syndrome. If you have a reliable source of income, you’ll feel lot more in control and at ease, which will help you believe in yourself all the way up to the point where you can start living out your dream, if that’s your goal.

-Lifting that emotional weight is like taking the hand break while driving since it will encourage people to support your goals if they can see that you can sustain yourself.

Don’t Give Up

 

Your response to whatever the life presents is entirely up to you. You may encounter numerous errors, setbacks, and “failures” while working toward your goals; when this happens, you can bet the dream-crushers will tell you that they were right all along. You have two options: you may pout and give up, or you can view these challenges as opportunities for growth, pivots, and character-building that will help you be better prepared for your next chapter. Did Steven Spielberg give up after being rejected from film school because they didn’t think he could succeed there? No, and today he ranks among the most successful directors in movie history.

Recognize your potential for greatness and that you are a unique breed. There is no right or wrong; everyone is different, and whether or not they believe in you shouldn’t stop you from trying. Not everyone will share your opinions, and that’s okay. When you start living your dream, people will support you in any case, so have faith in yourself.
