The Chase Without the Dream
If you feel as though your constant work and effort are to no avail, you may not possess a clear enough vision for yourself. Do you take inspired action or have you merely busied yourself with tasks seemingly related to your dreams? Do you know what has prompted you to take action and pursue certain things?

Exemplary Success
What example have you set? What is your legacy? Will others who stand where you once stood be able to follow your path to success? The chronicle of you is more important than you could ever imagine. To give the gift of hope and inspiration to another is priceless. To empower another person to take control of their destiny is an investment in a better future for all of us. To do this we need to set an example for success. A ‘how to” guide of sorts is required.

An Immovable Will
An immovable will is something that we must possess in order to achieve the things of our greatest desires and fantasies. To have an immovable will does not mean that you are simply a stubborn person, it mean that you have a determination that is so deeply rooted to your core that it has become your internal motivation. It is the engine that drives you towards your desires. The ability to resist dissuasion from the positive beliefs we hold within ourselves that are in direct alignment with the things we have asked of the universe is something to which we must aspire.

Prioritizing Your Dream
What do you need to do to achieve your dream? How do you reach something so far away from your current condition? In order to achieve your dreams you must break down your vision into achievable milestones and goals. This is a method that has been taught for many years, but is only half the battle. Not only must you create a system of measurable progression through the completion of goals and tasks, but you must also prioritize that which you choose to complete.

Decision Making and Internal Conflict
Never attempt to re-evaluate a decision until you have first acted upon it. If you change your mind, opinion or decision before you have acted upon it you may be falling victim to your own internal conflict. When we re-evaluate a decision it is most likely in an attempt to validate a change of mind. The need to re-evaluate happens when the original conclusion or decision you have come to has now been challenged. This challenge is either internal or exte al. Exte al challenges of ideas come from outside forces such as the opinions of others.

Identifying the Direction of Your Goals
What types of goals have you set for yourself? Do your goals serve you and bring you happiness? Your goals should advance you towards your dreams. Set goals that are in alignment with what you truly want in life. Intend that the achievement of each goal will allow you to receive a bit of happiness that you did not have before. Setting and achieving goals alone down not mean that you are moving in the right direction. You must identify what it is that you want and which goals will bring you closer to those things.

Passion Driven Simplification
Use your passion to simplify your life. Knowing what you want out of life and intending your success in achieving it is the best way to simplify your life. Follow your passion every day. By first identifying that which you are passionate about, you will be able to categorize the other items in your life as “pending elimination”. For many people, it is impractical to suggest that they wake up tomorrow and do only the things that they want to do and none of the things they do not.

The Attainment of Elusive Dreams
The first and most important step to attaining elusive dreams is to know and believe that they are indeed attainable. A shift in your mindset must take place in order to have and hold the things you want most, but feel are out of reach. The key to this shift in mindset is to remove self imposed limitations. It does not matter what other people think of your abilities. What matters is whether or not you choose to believe them. If there is something that you feel is out of your reach it is because you have decided to place it out of your reach.

The Building of a Team
Every cause or mission is unique. It is in its unique character that its strength is found. However, every great idea must be supported and built up to its ultimate potential. This process requires a team. A team will support you by bringing new ideas, resources and techniques to you and enable you to make a larger impact by multiplying your voice. Building a team that is willing to go the distance with you can be challenging. This is where your commitment to your dream drives you to persevere through the ups and downs of team building.

The Unspoken
Two common phrases used to describe the impact a person has are “your words speak volumes” and “your silence is deafening”. However, the opposite is true as well. Silence speaks volumes. Inaction and the unspoken evoke results in the same ways as spoken words and actions. It is often more challenging to engage in inaction and to allow yourself to view a situation from the outside.

What You See In Yourself
What are the things you see in yourself that you wish others could see? Do they see your potential and all that you are capable of? Consider for a moment the means by which you choose to express yourself. The things that you use as your outlets are clues to the best and brightest parts within you. The trouble is that many of the outlets we choose are kept private from the public. We keep the best of ourselves to ourselves. This limits us in the pursuit of our dreams. The greatness within us requires a degree of exposure to create the life experiences we desire.

Optional Influence
We all have influence over our options and in turn, our options give us influence. It is not others who give us options, it is ourselves. We have the power to enable possibilities within our minds. “Practical” and “rational” are the enemies of this type of internal empowerment. They are self limiting concepts that must be removed before we can bask in the beauty of optional influence. When we make choices and establish preference, we are directing our energy to certain things rather than others. It is the consorted energetic effort that will yield results in our favor.
