People never really get satisfied of what they have. We always want to have something better than what we have or something that we cannot acquire yet. No one can just get what he wants easily. Do you know what you want? What is it exactly? Be it material things or not, why aren’t you receiving such things?
When someone asks you “what do you want to happen in your life?” you must be able clearly answer the person back. If you can’t answer the question, then my friend, you’re lost. When you become lost, time flies so fast you wouldn’t feel years have already passed you by. You’ll be surprised 5, 6, 7 years after college, you’re still as broke as you started or haven’t made your life moving. Many people are victim of this. Not knowing where to go doesn’t make you move forward.
Think about it, you don’t get what you want because you don’t know what you want. This goes for everything and anything that has to do with your life. It should make sense because you would be receiving something that you really didn’t want consciously or subconsciously.
It all starts with a dream, big or small, it’s still a dream. When we were kids our imaginations are through the roof, maybe better than what adults have right now. But what happened? Most of us stopped dreaming where in fact we shouldn’t. Our dream should get bigger as we get older. Not just ordinary dream, but enormous dreams that would make people think your dream is impossible. These must be well defined as well.
Imagine, Steve Jobs didn’t stop his imagination and got satisfied with just a first generation iPod. Or Bill Gates didn’t settle with Windows 98. Or Henry Sy didn’t just build one SM Mall. Our lives were changed and touched by their dreams that they pushed to become a reality one way or another.
Before they became business magnate, they were once ordinary people. If they can, then we all can. There’s no such thing as too big of a dream. So I suggest you make a dream book and/or dream board. I got this from my company where they let me cut our pictures, write, and draw the exact things I want to have and want to happen in my life. The exact color, model, year, make, of the car I want. The exact gadgets, exact place and look of my house, the exact net worth I want to be, etc.
Yes, dreams may seem too big right now, but you shouldn’t care! Mark Zuckerberg (Co-Founder of Facebook) became a billionaire at age 23. If his imagination can, so can you! Even if you can’t get it now, go after it every time you wake up.
If you just let life dictate your life, then nothing really exciting or significant will happen to your life. Whereas when you know what you want clearly, instead of being lazy getting out of bed, it would be your very reason why you wake up in the morning and why you work your way towards it. Think big, dream big!- DE
