Well I'm sorry my fellow Leo's but we all need to start somewhere and work hard till we can achieve our dreams. Dreams are possible to reach. It takes a great mind and a true heart to establish this magic. It's dedication, sweat, tears and pain that will make you achieve your dream. Don't think otherwise.
We all need to start somewhere. If it's selling ice cream on the streets, cutting your neighbors grass, flipping burgers, whatever it may be, you are taking a step. These jobs will help you in a positive way, if it's saving money, gaining the skills you need for your future or providing for your family, be happy about it. Own the job. Maybe one day, you'll be managing the place or starting your own business.
How can I stay on track?
Commit to yourself. Do you really want to achieve your dreams? Do you want to make them happen? Because if you do, than stay positive and understand nothing is going to be easy and fast. Have you ever noticed things that are rushed into never last long or go terribly wrong? Yeah we've all been there. So first off;
- Whats the plan, boss?
Where do you want to be, what is it you want to achieve? Once you answer the question, ask yourself why it's important to you. How are you going to get there? Where are you going to start?
- Ready, set, Action!
Start by taking baby steps. Soon you'll be able to run this town.
- Short Goals
Set yourself small goals that you know you can accomplish on a daily basis that will help you achieve your main big goal. Seeing yourself achieve these goals, makes you see progress, and when you see progress you will gain a boost that makes you realize anything is possible.
- Eww, its Failure.
We all hate to admit we failed but, use it too learn from your mistakes. Use it as guidance and grow from it.
- Accept the Criticism
Accept the fact that it will take a good amount of time to achieve these dreams. Accept the fact that nothing is easy. Accept the fact that anywhere and everywhere you go no matter what you do, people are going to criticize you. But it's your choice if you let these critics hold you down or lift you up. Now, accept the fact that you are human, and you are capable of doing anything you put your mind too.
- Sacrifice
You're going to make tough decisions along the way, but be sure to make the necessary sacrifices. Tell Felicia to go home.
- No Excuses!
Drop the excuses and get stepping! There are no excuses on why you can't make your dreams come true, just think of Tenzing Norgay. They said climbing Mount Everest was impossible but there he was sacrificing his own life to prove others nothing is ever impossible.
Chasing your dreams will distract you from the negative. It inspires the people you love to follow their own dreams. It proves that anything is possible and you will learn to appreciate the experiences of failure. You will understand that failure comes along with success. And with your success you will see it was all worth it. So why not take the chance of achieving your dream goals and change your life, no dream is ever stupid. No dream is ever too old.
Don't give up because a hurdle came upon your path. Jump over it and if you still trip and fall, get back up and run again. Nothing is easy in life and nothing will ever be. But if you believe, if you believe in yourself,everything will be worth it. So don't give up, just don't. It will all be worth it at the end. So when someone tells you, you can't, show them you can. When you feel you can't no more, ask yourself why you started in the first place. When you think you can't, tell yourself you know you can. You are going to break yourself before you make yourself. You'll see those late nights at work drenched in sweat were all well deserved when you look at your family healthy and happy.
