subject: Finding Success In Life - How To Stop Daydreaming And Start Living [print this page] Dreaming is a universal activity, only the subject of dream varies from person to person- teenager dreams of mesmerizing the world with his dribbling skills while a professional might dream of a promotion in his workplace. In his book The Success, Vishwas Mahale says that successful people do not necessarily have more talent than their counterparts, but these are people who worked actively in the pursuit of their dreams. Since dreaming is a right brained activity, it brings an individual in touch with his creative self; therefore it is an essential activity since it shows him the path to success.
Dreams can only show a person what he needs in life; once he has identified his need he should start working actively towards the accomplishment of his set goals in order to transform his dream into reality. Many people struggle to identify what they really want to do, in this case, one must honestly ask oneself because the inner self always knows what one really wants in life. According to the author, success is actually a state of mind rather than a tangible factor; therefore, a person can really achieve what he fervently believes. However, it is very important not to waver from ones path or be fickle minded about ones goals, otherwise one might end up without any significant achievement.
One of the major factors that stand as a hindrance to success is that a human mind puts up a lot of resistance against new ideas, traditional thoughts stifle creativity, and therefore it is very important that ones dreams must be grand enough to withstand the minds opposition.
Once a dream has been established and the entire mind forged manacles removed, one only has to believe in himself in order to succeed, this attitude is very important in life. However, one must also be humble and should not suffer from excess pride. Persistence is also an important factor; one must not be discouraged from failures but gather more inspiration from every failure.
One must also be able to visualize in the minds eye the fulfillment of their goals in order to translate it into reality. Ones success is directly proportional to the magnitude of ones dream.
Finally, it is very important to nourish and nurture ones dream and protect it from people with a negative worldview, because they pose a grave threat towards keeping an individuals dream alive.
