How to make a simple plan to conquer yourself ?
Have you ever had a “dream”? Do you believe you can make that happen ?
Everyone is constantly wanting to know about my aspirations or plans for the future. Yes, I have a lot, but I’m not sure what happened to my dream.
Every week, lots of ideas are always in my head when I do other things. It looks like easy to finish right now, but it’s actually quite difficult. A large number of works have to do if I want to make it happen and I’m sure you do too. So what are we really looking for?
Be the best version of yourself !!
1. Do some stripping
Discard concepts that lack focus and precise objectives. Remove all of the protective layers and get right into what you actually want to achieve. Slowly, you remove the shawl, replacing it with a new suit of armor, patient and firm.
Ideas with no focus or explicit aims should be discarded. Peel off all the superficial layers of protection, dig deep into what you actually want to do. You gradually remove the shawl, replacing it with new armor, patient and steadfast.
Understand your worth to get what you can definitely do .
Have you ever considered quitting your mundane work in search of something more fascinating, or just pursuing your passion? Most people always choose for themselves a stable job, everything is easy to hold in the palm of their hand? It also serves as a barrier between your emotions and thoughts.
You must understand your worth to understand what you can definitely do .
2. Look fear in the eyes
You’re venturing out of your comfort zone. You’re stepping outside of your comfort zone. As a result, some resistance is normal, and resistance frequently manifests itself in the form of dread. But don’t let fear get the best of you. Don’t be paralyzed by it. Don’t allow it keep you daydreaming about your dreams instead of living them.
Look deep into fear , say that : “ Go away , I need to have my own life”
What you should do is acknowledge your fear anytime it arises. Then consider the following: Which is worse, the dread of venturing outside your comfort zone into the unknown adventure of aggressively chasing your ambition, or the fear of postponing your desire to alleviate the anxiety in your current position ?
When you’re sure you’re ready to blossom, you’re ready to move on to the next step.
3. Set your boats on fire
Determined to resist your own temptation .
Until you are totally committed to making your dream come true, there will be numerous things that will pop up to deter you. And if you aren’t really committed, then those distractions will succeed. To ensure you are unwavering in your quest to move forward toward your goal, you need to burn your boats.
Back in the 1500s when Hernan Cortez led his army of men in a conquest of Mexico, he ordered that the boats they arrived in be burned. He did this to prevent anyone from turning back and abandoning the mission. In essence, he ensured commitment to the battle by eliminating all opportunity to abort the assignment.
Take seriously the goal you are aiming for, be assertive in your choices, ignore hesitations and excuses.
4. Shamelessly steal
You’re probably not the first person to work towards achieving your particular dream. As such, there’s no need to reinvent the wheel. Immerse yourself with great ideas and techniques that others have shown to work.
Search out people who have been successful at what you are trying to accomplish, then study them. Watch what they do, don’t do, and identify best practices you can apply. There’s lots to learn, but it will be worth it once you realize how much this step will help you reach your dream.
Choose how you win , not how you follow !
5. Build a plan
Clarity, commitment, inspiration, and knowing how will serve you well in reaching your dreams. But they have to be combined with a real plan to actually move you along the path to making your dream come true
When you work on a goal with no plan of how to achieve it, your efforts are more likely to be disjointed. Without the focus a plan brings, you’re more likely to complete tasks willy nilly, and drift around rather than progressing methodically toward your goal. This leads to both sporadic and less than optimal results. You don’t want to go that route.
You’ve got to build a plan to get you from where you are to where you want to go. It will keep you on track, and minimize the detours that slow or delay your progress toward your goal.
Build a plan to keep yourself on track .
So if your dream is to write your first book, your plan could be to get up an hour earlier and write one thousand words a day prior to going to work. That way, when you set your alarm each day, you know what time to set your clock for. And when you wake up, you’ll know that it’s time to fire up the laptop to get typing.
Besides, one of the great things about a plan is it helps you to track your progress along the way as well.
6. Set a deadline
Deadlines have magical powers. When set, they stop procrastination in its tracks and whip you into gear so you start getting things done.
Even though you have a plan, you may spend lots and lots of time noodling over whether or not you need to learn more, or if your plan is just right, or if you need to go check Facebook again (you don’t). And then you’ll wake up, look at the calendar and months will have passed, and you’ll have barely moved an inch toward your goal.
‘The price of discipline is always less than the pain of regret .’
But a deadline changes all that. Because you know you can’t miss it, you do what you need to do to get things done.
So give yourself a due date. And then tell someone who will hold you accountable. Be sure to give them permission to kick your butt or provide a sufficiently effective guilt trip if you come close to missing it.
7. Do the work
There’s no way around this. You’ve got to do the work. You’ve got to work your plan.
Push yourself to do it when you feel like working. And push yourself to do it when you don’t feel like working. Here’s how:
Over time you will see results, and then you can move on to the next step.
Take serious steps to do your work .
8. Praise the progress
A lot of times your dreams don’t happen in one day. They take time. And sometimes you’ll need a bit of encouragement along the way to keep you going. So whenever you hit certain milestones, stop what you’re doing, take a pause and give yourself a high five for all the progress you’ve made.
‘You are worthy of your goals and values .’
You deserve it, and although you may not be exactly where you want to go, you are definitely farther than where you started. And that’s worth celebrating. It’s also fuel to keep you going a little farther.
9. Don’t go it alone
Change can be tough. And not just on you, but the people who interact with you on a regular basis. The people who will be impacted by the changes you make in your life.
As you work to make your dreams come true, consider letting those in your circle know what’s going on with you. It’ll give them a chance to encourage you, support you, and hold you accountable when needed.
“If you want to go fast go alone, if you want to go far go together ” – Warren Buffett
Depending on what your goal is, you might even find someone willing to take the journey with you.
It’s time to make your dreams a reality. Your dreams don’t have to stay just dreams. They can absolutely be your reality. But the majority of the time, dreams come true only as a result of us doing what’s necessary to make them happen.
“Stop worrying about the outcome and focus on the process , our efforts will pay off. Let’s start a new journey with me !!”
