Planning For Your Dream Life

You might think your dream life is unreachable

, but the truth is it stays unreachable if you choose to just continue daydreaming about it! It would be a shame to let your potential go to waste by dismissing what you think is unrealistic. Its time to get rid of the negativity and actually start trying! And trying begins with a solid action plan. Now what if you dont even know what to write in that plan? Below are ten basic guidelines in the form of questions to help you figure things out. Answer them as honestly as possible. Remember that there are no right and wrong answers. The objective is to fill out that plan so you can concretize what you really want in life.

1.What are my strengths? Are you talented in the arts or sciences? Perhaps your strength lies in your people skills or athletic abilities. Note in your action plan what you do best. If youre good at a lot of things, zero in on the one skill that has merited you the most praise. While we have the potential to be a Jack-of-all-Trades, we cant spread ourselves too thin by trying to be successful in everything. Choose the one thing you think will form the baseline of your dream life.

2.What do I daydream about more often than others? One day, you could be fantasizing about winning a talent show and the next day, you see yourself ruling the corporate roost as CEO. You need to discern which of your dreams represents your hobby and which one is your actual strength and calling. Sure, you can hold a note at karaoke parties but that doesnt mean you have the vocal chops to go professional. Your other daydream in turn could be the stronger indicator of the direction you want for your dream life.

3.What would inspire me to get up each day? Picture yourself in several scenarios doing different tasks. Which one of those do you find the most exciting even by just writing it on an imaginary diary or action plan? It is normal to like a lot of things, but there will always be a favorite vocation. That is your crucial clue to finding out what you really want to do that will lead you to your dream life.

4.What is stopping me from pursuing my goal? We tend to put too much stock in other peoples opinions. We can become too conscious about doing the right thing, which translates to realistic. How often were you discouraged from pursuing something because it sounded unreachable, hence the next recourse is to lower your standards? Enough of that negativity! The most successful people in the world would not have accomplished what they have if they let the naysayers get to them. These people did not let negative opinions, financial distress or physical disabilities stop them from succeeding. Steel yourself and develop the same winning attitude that will help you achieve your dream life.

5.Who can help me get started? Your action plan should have a list of people who can help you. They can range from family members, friends, professional contacts and acquaintances. Why is it important to have this list? You cant succeed on your own. You need your network for support and leads. Break down these individuals according to how they can help you. For example: your parents could loan you money with minimal interest to help you set up your business. Or your best friend could drive you to that reality TV singing competition audition as well as provide moral support. The road to your dream life will be smoother if you have people supporting and cheering you on.

Dont worry if your action plan appears to be a bit rough around the edges. Over time, you will continue to refine that plan until you hit the right combination of strategies to achieve your dream life. Your circumstances will change and force you to adjust accordingly. Just continue to be patient, adaptable and positive. Dont give up, aim high and believe in yourself!
