Learn How To Dream Into Reality: 3 Ways To Gain Clarity, Confidence, And Coinage In Your Life.

Be very clear on where you are right now. If you don’t know where you are now, how will you ever get to where you are going? It may sound like Dr. Seuss, but even he had a method to his madness.

Now, most of us immediately jump to our financial standing. It is not hard to see where you are right now financially. Matter of fact, most are painfully aware of this every day. What I’m asking is a little deeper, beneath the surface and has everything to do with your life, money, and focus.

Where are you mentally? I want you to ask yourself what you want. This is not as easy as it sounds. I was actually given homework where I had to go beyond my typical goals and tell 20 people my BIG dreams. You may laugh at this, but I couldn’t seem to utter a word to just one, patiently waiting dream receiver! Not one! I realized that although I could see it in my mind’s eye – it was never truly real to my own psyche until I could say it. Whoa. Here’s the real kicker in all of this. Your dreams are just dreams while they exist only in your mind. You are just a dreamer until you act on those dreams and speaking them - is a really huge act.

Now, I’ve shared and acted on my dreams in the past or I wouldn’t be where I am, but once challenged to go beyond those baby step dreams to even bigger, I was stumped. Here’s a little secret: Many of us have no idea what it would be like to have those BIG dreams, we cannot fathom that reality, so they remain locked away in the mind. This doesn’t mean that the dreams are unrealistic or unattainable however, only that in order to make them real we must do a few things to release the thoughts into our physical world.

1. Be clear on what you want – no matter what that may be. Avoid generalizations and go for specifics. “I want a 74 foot yacht with master bedroom and Jacuzzi on deck.” (I don’t really want a yacht, but this serves as an example). Ask yourself questions along the way: “Do I really want the responsibility of a yacht or would resources to enjoy sailing on a yacht when I want to suffice?” Write it down so you don’t forget as we go through the remaining steps.

2. Ask yourself if you truly believe you can have that dream, those goals. Be honest! If you are unsure of your honesty with self – test it – tell someone who is not close to you exactly what you want. If this task is the least bit difficult, this could be a sign you need to scale back a bit to something you can believe in.

Now before you panic with the thought that I’m going to tell you that your dreams are too big – just wait. You’ve written it down; we aren’t going to lose it! I just want you to bring your dreams/goals down to something you can believe. The success is in the believing. Don’t scrap any vision boards, or dream journals just yet – we will build up to those if need be. Test each new level of your dream. Tell someone. If you can’t, scale it back. It doesn’t matter if you have a dream of owning a yacht and it starts with telling people you are going to sit on the docks and admire other people’s yachts, just take it to the point of absolute belief.

Once you find that point of absolute belief – you know where you are starting. Knowing where you are starting is worth more than you can imagine. Knowing where you start is the key to getting where you want to go.

3. Move from the dreamer to the believer, act and reformulate. Act on your newly defined dream. Go sit on the docks and admire the yachts, then reformulate. What is the next doable and believable step? Share it with someone (someone you don’t know very well or a stranger) and test it. Don’t think too far ahead, just one believable step at a time.

Life, by its very nature, gives us boundaries; society and family structures give us rules and frameworks. From this we learn to work hard and dream less. Those of us who truly defy the status quo become the “dreamers” and finally breaking free from the mold dream BIG. Alas the land of dreams is fairly vacant, not many go there. For those that do, there is little instruction on how to dream into reality. Learning how to dream into reality gives you clarity, confidence and can certainly increase your coinage in life – if that is what you desire. Work on the three steps described and watch your reality shift. Dream into reality!
