Hopes Or Dreams VS Goals And Plans...Which Is Better??? Are You Fluffy Or Obsidian?
Hopes and dreams are awesome, they paint pretty pictures in our minds eye and give u a beautiful fresco to daydream on while we go about our daily business.
But they are usually disjointed, random incongruous images that are like dust-motes...Always just out of reach and impossible to be pieced together as any useful plan for achieving what we have glimpsed. essentially they are enjoyable in the moment but should be dismissed instantly after their appearance...
Just like wishes!
Oh I wish I had this, could go there could be like this, was stronger, happier, a better Mum, Dad etc. I find wishes to be unbelievably wishy-washy and weak and limp just like wet lettuce on a salad. I like a bit of crunch in my grand visions and of-course...In my salads.
I know just what you're thinking...What the hell is this crazy-English-Dude rambling on about?
It's like this...If you wanted to double your salary next year and start a profitable crypto portfolio sideline with one eye on your future wealth what are ya gonna do?
- A Sit down with a coffee and wish it would happen...
- B Maybe sit down with a cup of coffee and write an inventory of your skills...Take a short course on crypto basics...Focus on your career weaknesses and tighten them up...
You see how one of these suggestions gets you approximately zero by way of returns on your vision and the other, starts you on the right path.
You need a plan, a blueprint for success. imagine being able to design a roadmap that has inbuilt measurable steps that actually track your progress. A resource that tells you if the week ended with a net positive or a net negative result in terms of charting if you are closer to or further from your grand vision.
Do you think that would give you some of the tools and a dose of realism that you maybe need to make some giant or even small leaps in the quality of your life?
So what do you want, who do you wanna be, where do you want to be next month, next year or even in 10 years?
It all starts with a plan! I am gonna be focussing very heavily on how to formulate this plan in many of my upcoming posts. Now remember how I started this post? Well bizarrely I want you to do the activity advised against!
Sit down and let your fantasy run free, dare to dream, open your daydreaming mind and let your subconscious know what is important to you...Set out your stall to go after the life you want...
Not with hopes and dreams and wishes but with turning these things into a plan of action, make them a reality for your future. Really go town with this exercise and don't let that negative self sabotaging part of your brain tell you anything is beyond you...If it is physically doable ((You cannot go and live on Jupiter tomorrow, sorry if this bursts your bubble)) then you can learn to be who you need to be in order to achieve it.
Back soon to talk about who you need to be and what you need to cultivate within to really go after the life of your dreams...
Take great care and see ya around :grinning:
