Can't making dreams come true be just as easy? Can't we free ourselves of our doubts? Is it not possible? How can we do it in a way so that it looks as easy as brushing our teeth? This is an excerpt form the book named ONE by Masami Sato and it shows how it can be done step-by-step, getting one ready to start walking towards one's dreams today.
We all have dreams. But not all of us have the faith in ourselves, that we can have and live those dreams in our lifetime. Actually, the secret to have such certainty is simple. And the reason why we doubt it so much is also straightforward.
Let us start with the first question that can be asked to us..
Why do we not do the things we want to do?
Often, our thoughts stop our actions. Sometimes the more we think about it, the less we become committed to accomplish what we initially wanted to do. Because the more we think about it, we come up with more and more reasons for not doing it.
Then is it possible that one can be certain that one will definitely accomplish what one wants to do in his life?
Yes, definitely! For a start, let us look at the power of habits..
If we have an appointment for a meeting tomorrow night, we might not spend too much time worrying whether we can reach there or not. We would not be bothered about the likelihood of having a car accident and not being present at the appointment. In the same way when we walk to the bathroom, we may not worry if the toilet would be broken down.
We have so much more certainty about these types of 'normal' actions we take every day. They're habits.
However, we doubt our dreams
The interesting part is that there are several things that we are not very sure about. These are the things that we really want to do in our lives - our Dreams!
So, what is the secret for the assurance that we will realize our dreams?
First: Simply make it a daily habit!
We can get started by being more confident about our acts meant to meet our desires - the type of dreams that actually fosters our life.
For example, if a person's dream is to make his fair share of contributions to the society, and giving is a big yearning in his life, there is no need to doubt the possibility of being able to make that contribution. Al that is necessary is to make it a daily habit.
Second: Try to make it as important (and as much easy) as brushing teeth..
Realising dreams can be just like brushing one's teeth. It simply doesn't feel nice if we do not brush our teeth for pretty long, isn't it? We can't bother to spend hours considering which toothpaste we should use or wait to clean teeth till there is some need to do so. We feel a little out of sorts if our teeth are not clean. So we clean them. That is all!
Back to our example, if giving is our utmost desire, then we need to ask ourselves these questions: What if giving actually was as important as brushing our teeth? What if it makes us feel good? And what if it kept our life healthy?
No matter how much or little we perceive we have right now, we really can start giving and sharing today. So no matter how seemingly impossible it is to achieve our dreams, we can start walking towards them today. We can if we see it as something important, a top priority that we should do every day! Then we won't feel comfortable if we don't do it. Just like brushing our teeth.
and Third: Always give first, then we will get
When we start giving before we even have what we hope to get - that which we dream of - we are sending out a powerful message to ourselves which tells us, 'there is enough, and more will come.' It allows us to feel the joy today - the joy of giving.
If you want to be wealthy, be munificent. Then you are sure to be blessed with abundance. If you are intelligent enough to do so, do not hesitate to teach others. Then you will learn more. If you feel like giving, just give the whole of you. And do it without expecting anything in return. Just let go. The act of giving is its own reward. The simple satisfaction of giving.
So do not be hesitant to dole out and share what you have, for it will not prevent you from achieving your purpose, whatever it is. It will only help you to realise your dreams more easily. And your journey through that path would be full of joy.
But are not habits smaller, in comparison with our BIG dreams?
Just do it, don't worry about the 'scale'
Because anything is possible in life. We might start things in a small way. And these small things will always take us to another action, and another. Having certainty in our small actions and executing them one by one always takes us forward. But if we thought it was 'impossible' to do something now because it just seemed 'too big', it will never happen.
The secret to achieve your dreams has always been here, and will always be here. The people who create miracles, inspirations, and the real sense of joy, already know this. They are always using it.
Dreams and marvels are not accidents. We make them through our options.
So, are you likely to start moving towards your dreams today?
