"If you can believe it, you can achieve it."
That is a popular quote that I think is very true. Has anyone ever told you that you were crazy for trying to reach a certain dream or goal? If you can think it up in your head then why wouldn’t you be able to live it out? There are certain things like money, talent, or knowledge that we think we need in order to achieve our dreams. But I’m here to tell you that way of thinking is wrong! You don't need anything but self-confidence to achieve any of your dreams, but you do have to push yourself and achieve those goals by yourself because people are too busy trying to reach their own. Here are a few tips on how to reach your dreams.
1. Make a goal or a bucket list.
Take time and write down all of your wildest dreams. Maybe your dreams are things that you want to accomplish and check off. A bucket list is usually associated with crazy adventures like skydiving, but it could also be used to keep your dreams (big or small)!
2. Make your dreams known.
One thing that people do is keep their dreams and ambitions to themselves. Let it be known and let the world know what you want to accomplish! You will need help when trying to reach a goal, but, if no one knows, then they can’t help you. You won’t be alone. Isn’t that great? It's nice to know that someone can stand beside you and push you towards your wanted goal.
3. Live daily like you’re headed toward your dreams.
Tell yourself every day what you want to achieve. Being positive and living like you know where you’re going can boost your confidence 100%. Think positive and things will start to happen. Believe in yourself because if you don’t believe in yourself then people won’t believe in you.
4. Map it out and know how to get there.
Start small and work your way from there. You have to put your foot in the door because no one is going to hand you your dream. Starting as an intern in the business that you want to work for can get you far! Starting your own blog could get you a get you a great job as a journalist! Step by step you’ll work your way up the ladder and tackle your dream!
5. Focus on one dream at a time.
Focus on that one dream that’s been tugging on your heart for a while and let it grow! It's likely that you have hundreds of different goals and dreams, but there is one that you want the most. If you center in on that one big goal then it has a better chance of happening. If you have trouble picking just one, think through your dreams and pick out the one that will impact you the most.
“Every great dream begins with a dreamer. Always remember, you have within you the strength, the patience, and the passion to reach for the stars to change the world.”
-Harriet Tubman
Go out there, dream, and change the world!
