Success Starts from Big Dream
Do we now have a very high dream to achieve, a dream that may be impossible to achieve with our current situation? Is it possible now that we are being humiliated and laughed at by friends, relatives, or even parents when we tell our dreams to them?
If we answer yes, let us not feel discouraged and despair. Instead, we should be proud and happy because we have just entered the initial step of success. Why so? Because the foundation of success is the dream we have. Everyone who has been successful must start with a dream.
Building a dream can be likened to someone who is building a house. Initially we have to build a solid foundation so that in the event of natural disasters such as floods, earthquakes, or other that resulted in the house we built cracked and damaged, we can rebuild it.
Similarly, when we are trying to realize the dream we have. If the dream we cultivate is so deeply embedded in us, we will be ready to rise again if we experience a natural disaster.
Many successful people who started the steps of success in his life by dreaming. One of them is Soichiro Honda who is now famous for its products in the form of motorcycles and branded jass cars. When motorcycle was still in school, he was not a good student. While his teacher was explaining the lesson, motorcycle often dreamed and fantasized about a variety of brilliant discoveries, especially those that dealt heavily with machinery because he was fond of machines.
Because of his dreaming habits in the class he had been expelled from school. But that does not stop his enthusiasm for realizing all his dreams. Until now, motorcycle can show itself to the world that he is one of the most successful people in turning all his dreams into reality. And to this day, motorcycle is constantly making new innovations through new dreams by campaigning The Power of Dreams through mass media recently.
This motorcycle story lies a pretty interesting lesson that we can learn, that as high as any of our dreams, if we really believe that our dreams will work and we will strive to make it happen, then surely one day our dream will become reality. Trust me!
In the reality of life that we live today, we must have the ideals and dreams so that our lives can be directed and have a clear purpose. We are free to design our dreams in accordance with what we want and we are also free to change our dreams at any time if indeed our conscience wants to change them.
In addition to passive dreams that take place while we sleep, there is also someone who basically often fantasize or imagine beautiful things constantly but never try to make it happen.
I fantasize (dream) like this I categorize into a passive dream as well because he is just dreaming and imagining beautiful events but without being followed by changes in actions that lead to the achievement of his dream.
It is just like living in the dream world I mentioned before because all the dreams will end when he finishes imagining (read: wake up from his sleep).
While the active dream is an imagination or delusion that is done continuously but accompanied by changes in behavior that refers to the achievement of the dream so that we do not always live in a dream world or the world of sleep and try to make it happen.
As explained earlier that in the world of sleep when we dream, we can not control our dreams, and after we wake up everything that happens in the dream is lost without a trace. Similarly, if we only have a dream but not doing something to realize that dream is the same as a passive dream because there is no real action to make it happen.
Therefore, we should be active dreamers in which we not only imagine but also do supportive actions toward the achievement of our dreams. Make a change in ourselves, get out of the comfort zone, and achieve our dreams.
Tips for Realizing Dreams
Here I will try to explain some tips to turn passive dreams into active dreams and realize the dream we have into the reality of life.
Tip # 1
Everyone must have a myriad of beautiful dreams and millions of desires in his mind. And at this moment the person is in state 1 that he is dreaming passive. However, of course we can not get all our dreams at once in a very short time without doing anything.
We must be able to filter and make the priority of which dreams we will realize first. We must move from state 1 (passive dream) where we do only dream as high as to state 2 (active dream) by through a bridge which I named the trans-imaginary filter.
This filter is a point where we are in the process of transition / removal of our dreams that exist only in our imagination to become reality.
This filter is useful for filtering out all of our dreams that may amount to a lot to be some we want to achieve in the near future.
In this state we are required to not only imagine the realization of our dreams, but we must also think about the process of achieving it step by step and dreaming of the process step by step until we achieve what we dream and become reality.
Tip # 2
After we filter out the dreams we have, we have to get through one of the biggest hurdles in the process of reaching our next dream, that is, we must try to get out of our comfort zone.
This zone is a time when we feel very comfortable with dreams in our dreamland. At this point we may not know what to do to get out of this zone because the dreams we have are so far removed from our current state that we feel that we are definitely not able to realize that dream.
We must make it through this zone by taking real action in the process of achieving our desired dreams. We must always be optimistic that our dreams will come true someday.
Tip # 3
This stage is the most decisive stage whether our dreams will come true or not. At this stage we must be ready to face problems that can be a barrier or obstacles or difficulties that we must face in the process of achieving our dreams.
One of the obstacles or obstacles we have to face can be the falling into poverty, the loss of a loved one, the humiliation of the crowd, the ostracism, the unbelief, the exclusion from school and other things that cause us to lose the spirit to continue to realize our dreams.
The obstacle that many people experience is failure. And this failure often makes people discouraged and despair and dare not try again. Not infrequently someone dreams end in this state.
This failure is mostly caused by the process of realizing dreams not as beautiful and as easy as what we imagined before. Should, if we experience failure, we must dare to try again, re-dream actively, visualize in our mind from the process until the achievement of our dreams so that we always have a high fighting spirit after we experience failure and not just contemplating the fate that has occurred or even we change our dreams.
It is not wrong for us to change our original dream and try to achieve another dream if we already feel that our dreams are not in line with our life goals. But one thing we have to believe is that by always learning from the experience of failure and then trying again one day our dreams will surely come true.
The man who is steadfast, patient, and succeeds through all these problems will become the person who succeeds in reaching his dream. Can we deal with all these obstacles? Remember the story of Soichiro motorcycle! And follow the tips guidelines that have been expressed earlier.
Do not forget to always take our dreams wherever we go, wherever we are, under any circumstances and circumstances that are happening to us. We must always believe and believe that our dreams will be achieved through our diligent and unyielding efforts and not forgetting to ask God for help. Thus we will be able to achieve success. Dream and believe!
Do not Give Up In Achieving Dreams And Do not Dream To Surrender
Much of the ease of life we enjoy today begins with the dreams of ordinary people who turn out to be great because of their dreams, and their efforts to realize their dreams like Henry Ford, Michael Faraday or Thomas Edison.
Should we have dreams like them to change the world?
Of course not, we do not have to have as big a dream as they are, but let's start with dreams that can change our lives, family, and ultimately will affect positive change for our environment, start gradually.
To dream is very easy, but to achieve that dream is difficult, so many of us are ultimately afraid to dream, or give up in realizing our dreams.
I deliberately wrote the word "get that difficult dream" in bold, not because I wanted to emphasize that dreams can not be achieved, but I want to invite us to change the paradigm that something difficult will be achieved.
The first thing we must do is strengthen in our hearts the words "Difficult, but I can reach it" not the words "I can reach it, but it is difficult". If the first words are planted within us, then we will not give up in reaching our dream, but instead with the second words, which will weaken our spirit in achieving dreams.
In addition to that there are some light tips that can be a positive factor in achieving our dreams
- Do not expect a miracle without effort
Do not ever expect a miracle that will suddenly bring our dreams into reality, a miracle may exist, but not suddenly, but as a result of our hard work.
- Tell others about our dreams
Maybe we will be ashamed to tell our dreams to others, or worry others will duplicate our dreams. The worry is certainly reasonable, but it would be more beneficial if we think positively, if our dreams are told to others, then that person might be the driving factor of our dream achievement, for example the person will offer a facility or suggestion that will make it easier for us achieve our dreams.
Never mind the people who laugh at our dreams, stay focused on the people who support our dreams, because that's where our positive energy will grow.
- never give up
If we fail, then improve the process you are, still trying to achieve the dream by learning from the failures that we experience. Never dream and think to surrender with our failures and limitations.
