This year was my year to Dream BIG! I wrote a letter to God
asking him to help me find the courage and outlet to quit my job and move to
New York. On the paper I wrote, “I want to live in New York by Jan 2016.” Well
who would have known just 6 months after I wrote that letter God would allow
the road to unfold to make my dreams to come true! The road wasn’t easy. I went
through a lot to get here, but God made a way. If you ask for things with the
right intentions, God will open doors! I’m proof it works!
Step 1. Decide
For me this was the HARDEST step! Sometimes it’s still the
hardest step for me to take when I’m thinking about a new idea or which path to
take in life. I am such a planner that I often think so much, I talk myself
right out of a great idea or plan. However, if you don’t make your mind up to
go for it no matter what, it won’t happen. Then your dream is just an idea. So
get a firm idea, decide, then to go for it!
Step 2. Pray
I’m a firm believer that whatever your religion is or whoever
you believe in, the power of the universe will open doors for you if you ask.
Your intentions have be right of course but, I do believe that anything is
possible. Also, you want to make sure
God (whoever you believe in) is a part of your plan, they will be the strength you
need to get you through the hard times. Lean on him and he will guide your
steps.
Step 3. Plan
Planning for me comes naturally. I think sometimes I can
plan better than I execute! LOL In all seriousness, if you don’t have a plan
for your idea you may go in circles making mistakes, when you don’t have to.
Spend time doing research. Seek out people with the knowledge you need to make
your plan happen (mentors). Get a solid plan under your belt and remember plans
change so stay flexible.
Step 4. Manage Your Time Wisely
I think I could write a whole book on this step alone. I
myself have been guilty of what they call “time wasting activities”. Social
media being my worst enemy. Don’t get me wrong social media is a very good tool
to use however, too much of it can be a bad thing. So try your best to
eliminate any “time wasters” you can.
Step 5. Don’t ever ever ever give up!
No matter what anyone says, how many bad days you have, or
who tells you otherwise, God placed your dreams in your heart for a reason! He didn’t
give them to anyone else, so it’s normal if people don’t understand and that’s okay.
However, protect your dreams with all your heart and keep trying. You may have
to start over, and over, and over! You may have to rework your plan, find
another way, even take a step back and have a seat for a minute. NO matter
what, NEVER GIVE UP! You can do it!
I hope my tips were helpful!? Please leave a comment and let
me know what things you’re doing to follow your dreams! I will be your personal
supporter! Lol If you know someone that
may be able to use these words of encouragement feel free to share this post! Right
now… do it! LOL
Don’t forget to keep God first! I love you and have a
blessed week!
