Forty years ago, part of my aunt’s spine and ankle were crushed in a plane crash. Unable to stand or walk, she laid in a body cast in the living room for months.
Fast forward to today and she can walk and sort-of fast walk / run for a few feet. She leads a fairly normal life.
Not because time heals all wounds; it doesn’t. She can move today because she consistently and single-mindedly followed the rules for success.
Here’s the equation:
Vision + focus + action = achieving your dream.
That’s it.
My aunt envisioned herself feeling and moving as she wanted to, then – every single day for forty years – took action that moved her in that direction.
There’s no secret, no hidden mystery.
Achieving your dreams is a matter of aligning yourself with what you want and then taking focused action to get it.
Don’t misunderstand me – it doesn’t all have to be hard, grueling work. When you’re fully aligned with your dreams, you make space for miracles. Chance conversations, perfectly timed introductions, and new inspirations.
When you’re focused on your vision, you more easily recognize and integrate the support and help you need to move forward – whether that’s a new experimental therapy or a business investor.
The key is to keep your blinders on and not be swayed by nay-sayers, distractions, or your own doubts, while staying open to new possibilities.
Here are a few questions to get you started:
- How do you most want to feel?
- What one thing – if you did it – would leap you forward?
- What do you need to do every day to stay focused on your vision?
Then do those things.
Do the daily tasks that will help you feel how you want to feel. Meditate, exercise, journal, read, turn off television – whatever it is for you.
Ignore your fear and take the big step you know will help get you there. Write your book, call that lead, go back to school, bring up that hard conversation. Trust your inner guidance and leap.
Because to get where you’re going, you have to move in the right direction. Every day. For as long as it takes.
Start now.
