What amazing “milestones”
have occurred towards your dreams coming true so far in 2017? You may think that is a strange question with
it only being the third Tuesday of January, but I want to encourage you to look
for the “small actions” towards your dreams coming true. For example, if you are looking to start your
own business, what new contact(s) have you made since you wrote down your dream
that can assist you? Or if you are
working on losing a few pounds, how much has the scale dropped or what
encouraging words have you been told about your new physique? Every time something happens, no matter how
small, write it down as a reminder of your progress!
You may be wondering, “why should I do this?” The benefit of writing down the “reminders”
toward your dreams is that when everything looks bleak and you are depressed
that nothing has happened, you can review them to encourage yourself that
something may not be seen at that current moment, but there have been actions/steps
toward your dreams coming true at some point.
I have one particular dream that when I started writing this
blog post had not had any progress in quite some time. I have doubted and questioned it, but I go
back to something that I had written down on a piece of paper in 2016 that
occurred and that was a reminder that there has been movement on this dream and
even though it seems slow in coming I have to stand strong and keep believing
it will happen. As I did that for a
number of days in January, I had a breakthrough last Friday. I continue to have that small 2x3 piece of
paper to remind me of the event in 2016 and I have written down the
action/event that happened last Friday to continue to encourage me through
2017.
CHALLENGE: Create
a list of five (5) events/actions, etc. that have happened in regards to your
dreams as “reminders” that progress may be slow, but there has been progress!
Without a
struggle, there can be no progress. - Frederick Douglass
No
matter how many mistakes you make or how slow you progress, you are still ahead
of everyone who isn't trying. - Tony Robbins
