When I pursue my dreams

When I pursue my dreams, the world conspires to help me achieve it.

In order to actually pursue the life of my dreams, I need to be proactive. Taking action is the key! When I take action to move toward my goals and actively seek solutions to challenges, I find that success is invariably mine.

Action may not bring happiness, but there is no happiness without action. - Benjamin Disraeli

A dream is still just a dream – and it will remain that way – until I set things in motion with some action. For this reason, when I have a dream that I would like to see come into fruition, I make an action plan to guide me to success.

I turn my dreams into concrete goals that I can achieve. I then divide these goals into attainable tasks that will, when completed, let me arrive at the destination I desire.

Next, I arrange my to-do list so there are some quick, easy tasks at the beginning. This allows me to dive right in – taking action toward my goals and building momentum to carry me through the harder tasks.

When a challenge arises, as I know it will, instead of sitting around bemoaning my bad luck, I take it in stride and immediately seek a solution. Then I take action to overcome it and get back on track toward my goal.

That’s the way the world is: it rewards those who take action. As long as I am actively involved in moving toward my goal, I know that, eventually, I will get there!

Today, I choose to take decisive action toward my goals, making an action plan and putting it into motion by jumping right in!

Self-Reflection Questions:

1. Have I made my action plan with steps that will guide me toward my goals?
2. What tasks can I complete today to get me moving in the right direction?
3. Am I facing a challenge that I can overcome with some decisive action?

I drive work by staying calm and remaining positive.

I am in control of my work and emotions. I am successful because I am dedicated to my work and passionate about my life. Therefore, peace and joy follow me wherever I go.

When I am surrounded by pressure, I stay relaxed by keeping the big picture in mind. If I feel stressed, I close my eyes and envision lying on a beautiful, sunny beach, listening to the waves crashing on the shore. My cares simply float away.

When I get to work, I embrace my assignments with a positive attitude. Challenges are welcome in my life because they revive the creativity within me. I seek out the good in every situation. If I find myself in a cloud of negativity, I go elsewhere.

I stay calm under pressure. Another person’s lack of preparation does not constitute an emergency in my life. I stand up for myself and I know when to say no. I keep my plate free from meaningless busywork.

I drive my work; it neither drags me around, nor enslaves me. I am happy to complete my work because it is valuable to me and it makes a difference to others.

Being in the driver’s seat leads me to enjoy my life that much more. My optimism keeps me miles ahead of my obligations. A positive attitude causes me to be proactive about the things that need to be done.
