It's been days since we talked about having dreams and whether it will help you in becoming successful or not.
As promised I did my reflection (and hope you did yours as well) and I will share it with you.
I know we often read it in books and hear from self-help gurus that we should all have dreams to be successful but without first hand proof or testing it, we will never know if it's true or not.
So for the last four (4) days of my life I did something unusual.
I changed the entire flow of my day and actually forgot the entire concept of having a dream driven life.
For all of you to get an idea here's the usual flow of my day before I tested the "dream theory".
After waking up in the morning, I have a thanksgiving prayer followed by belief declarations of how God has truly made me and what He has prepared for my life.
After that, I do affirmations while doing my stretching (by the way I usually do this near our bathroom because I enjoy the silence).
Then after taking my bath, I then open my laptop look at my dream board and imagine myself achieving them.
This is directly followed by a daily journal where I talk to God, myself, and plan out my day.
So to test the effectiveness on whether having a compelling dream really helps in becoming successful or not I didn't follow the usual flow of my day.
Instead, here's what I did.
I purposely slept late and watch television or played games on my computer.
I never read my dreams or any of my goals within the 4-day period.
I didn't pray much, although I was really struggling, since the desire to pray was pretty strong.
In other words, I never even thought of being somebody.
I just ate normally, watched television, played Dota on our computer, spent more time in Facebook, and etc.
In other words, I totally gave up having a future to look forward to.
Result? I felt pretty miserable.
I'm not sure if the real reason was because I got used to my usual Morning rituals but I certainly felt tired, unmotivated, miserable, and worse, I felt really useless.
Now I fully understand the importance of dreams.
It will allow you to see the future that you want for life.
It is like fuel to your life; it will keep you strong in difficult times and keep you happier in easy times.
It is also a "map" in your mind, which reminds you where you want to go.
As you remind yourself of your dreams on a daily basis, you can keep track on where you are in the map.
Your dreams are a great example of "beginning with the end-in-mind".
So I will continue to read my dreams and live it in my imagination daily.
Though it is not like magic, but I am now 101% sure that it will take me to success, and SUCCESS is getting near.
So remember to read your dreams daily and of course DREAM BIG! God bless you always.
