“All human beings are also dream beings. Dreamingties all mankind together.”

If you can imagine what you really want and allow your dreams to come to the surface of your mind, you can do great things! You have the power to achieve the life you’ve always wanted, simply by opening your mind to the dreams you may have been afraid to dream in the past. Kerouac believed that having life dreams is a given for each of us. And because all humans dream, we’re connected to each other because of of having our own desires. #JACKKEROUAC

“All of our dreams can come true if we have the courage to pursue them.”

Disney was truly a dreamer as he came from humble beginnings in Chicago, rising to become one of the world’s most famous Americans. The power and promise of dreaming is evident, not only throughout Walt Disney’s life, but long after his death in 1966. In his quotation, Disney mentions courage as an integral precursor to bringing dreams to fruition - "if you have the guts to go after what you want, you can make your dreams happen." The incredible, depth, breadth, and reach into the future of Walt Disney’s dreams are true testaments to what can happen if you pursue your dreams. #WaltDisney

Strategies To Help You Follow Your Dreams 

“So many of our dreams at first seem impossible, then, they seem improbable, and then, when we summon the will, they soon become inevitable.”

The above quote of Reeve’s carries a powerful message to all who dare to dream. Reeve points out that when a dream first enters your mind, it might seem ludicrous to even think it could come to pass. Later, down the road, it seems not likely that it could ever happen. Ultimately, though, if you determine by your own personal choice that you will make your dream happen, you’ll see your end result is “inevitable.” #ChristopherReeve

Christopher Reeve - Make Your Dream Inevitable

<ol><li>Allow an outlet for your dreams. Find ways to express your dreams.</li><li>Even if you believe your dreams are impossible, continue ahead.</li><li>Decide to pursue your dream. Make a conscious decision to begin doing small things that relate to what you want in life. </li><li>Act on your ideas.</li><li>Set up mini-goals and celebrate when you achieve them.</li></ol>ACTION TIME:Keep your dream alive! Make a list of activities that you could do each day to support your dream, such as drawing, journaling, and more that relate to your dream.

Make your dreams inevitable with these actions:

●     Be open to your dreams.●     Choose your dreams.●     Nix the naysayers of your dreams.●     Let go of fear and pursue your dreams.●     Make your dream inevitable. Your dreams bring golden moments, inspiration, and incredible experiences. “Do all you can to make your dreams come true.”                                                                                    ~Joel Osteen

DARE TO DREAM - Recap

“Don't aim for success if you want it; just do what you love and believe in, and it will come naturally.”

When it comes to striving for success, you don’t have to reinvent the wheel. There are many people who’ve made their marks on the world through achieving incredible success in their work. You can follow in their footsteps and achieve your own success!  Develop your own winning ways when you discover your passion, have faith, take responsibility, and think positive. Your chances of being successful are vastly increased when you’re passionate about what you’re doing.

David Frost: Discover Your Passion

Once you discover your passion, keep doing it to achieve success.For example:●     If you loved to work on cars as a teen, figure out a way to continue your mechanical pursuits and get paid for them as an adult.●     If you’re passionate about baking cookies and cakes, bake plenty of these pastries and sell them. You see, when you do what you love, you’ll enjoy the time you spend doing it. Journal Time:What do you enjoy most?--------How can you monetize it? --------Whatever plans you make for turning what you love into your work, take action toward making it a reality.

How to Apply David Frost’s Tip to Your Life!

“Again, you can't connect the dots looking forward; you can only connect them looking backwards. So you have to trust that the dots will somehow connect in your future. You have to trust in something - your gut, destiny, life, karma, whatever. This approach has never let me down, and it has made all the difference in my life.”

Steve talks about how you can’t know everything when you first set out to do something. Jobs believed one just has to have faith that in the scheme of life, what he does will eventually have an impact. When you have that faith, you’ll continue your journey, doing what you have faith in. It’s only later, down the road, when you can look back and see the impact of your work.

Steve Jobs: Have Faith

Even though you may not have a complete sense of how what you want to do will fit in to the big scheme of things, if you truly feel it’s what you should be doing or that it’s the right thing to do, then just follow through with your pursuits. Have faith that you’re supposed to be doing what you’ve chosen.Regardless of whether you believe in destiny or prefer to listen to your gut: what does your internal “trust-meter” tell you to do?  If you continue in the pursuits you have faith in, you won’t be disappointed. One Last Line, Faith is necessary if you can’t see the path to completion.

“I don't think of myself as a poor deprived ghetto girl who made good. I think of myself as somebody who from an early age knew I was responsible for myself, and I had to make good.”

Winfrey brings home the importance of taking control of your own life. She viewed her personal sense of responsibility as the key to “making good.” Regardless of your background, you can be successful if you take responsibility for your own future.

Oprah Winfrey: Take Responsibility

Circumstances don’t control your future. Refuse to allow your personal situation to color your sense of who you truly are or what you can accomplish.Your success doesn’t depend on luck, where you live, or whether you’re rich or poor. It does depend, however, on how you step up to take responsibility for yourself. Avoid blaming others, making excuses, or just wishing things will get better. ACTION TIME:●     Make a list of the excuses you tell yourself to justify not taking action toward your goals. ●     Now, imagine yourself as a highly responsible person that would never rely on excuses.

“Nothing can stop the man with the right mental attitude from achieving his goal; nothing on earth can help the man with the wrong mental attitude.”

Jefferson believed there’s power in one’s own mind & that being positive is the best way to release that power & benefit from it.How to Apply Jefferson’s Tip to Your LifeUse positive self-talk. You engage in a running dialog with yourself all day long.Repeat affirmations. + start finding evidences to that establishes strength in your subconscious mind. Practice meditation. Boosts focus on moving forward to your goals & brings you serenity. Seek the silver lining. Even when things don’t go as planned, find something good in every situation Start a meditation practice 10 Mins a DAY!

Thomas Jefferson: Think Positive

“Action is the foundational key to all success.” ~Pablo Picasso

Even when people didn’t seem interested in his art, Picasso just kept painting, sculpting and creating, no matter what.  He put into practice what he believed: if a person takes action, he’ll succeed. The essence of Picasso’s quote is, “do something” to make success happen. You must do something related to your goals if you want to achieve them.●     Focus less on the details.●     Don’t be concerned about doing something wrong.●     Just get started.●     Continue to do whatever it is you’ve chosen and the actions you take will lead you to success.

Pablo Picasso: Take Action

For your big goals, divide them into small, achievable steps that will lead you ever forward until you’ve accomplished your biggest desires. It’s much easier to take action when you only have a small mini-goal to work on. However, achieving these small goals one by one will bring great success.For example, if you have a goal to lose 30 pounds, you can do this in 30 weeks by losing a pound a week. Each week, focus only on losing 1 pound. This is a goal you can achieve.ACTION TIME: 1.   Important Goal > Mini Goals 2. Mini Goals > Even shorter Steps 3.   Take your first step today.

“Develop success from failures. Discouragement and failure are two of the surest stepping stones to success.” ~Dale Carnegie

Carnegie stressed that you must experience discouragement and failure in your life in order to find success.He believed that through examining your experiences of failures, you can gain the knowledge that will propel you to success. Instead of fearing failures and trying to avoid thinking about how you failed at something, look closely at your mistakes.

Dale Carnegie: Embrace Your Failures

<ol><li>Ask yourself why something didn’t work.</li><li>Come up with a new strategy.</li><li>Try out your new idea right away. </li><li>Repeat this process if your new idea doesn’t work.</li><li>Above all, remember that the only way you can really fail is to give up.</li></ol> ACTION TIME: ●     Take a look at your three biggest failures in pursuing your goals.●     Ask yourself why they happened.●     Determine what likely would have been a more effective approach.●     Is it desirable or possible for you to resume pursuing these goals with a new approach?

“The ladder of success is best climbed by stepping on the rungs of opportunity.” ~Ayn Rand

Ayn's description of success being a ladder is apt because, in order to be successful, one must notice and take advantage of many opportunities throughout life.Her quote illustrates that each opportunity leads to another step up to the next opportunity. Rand’s quote implies it’s rare to go from nothing to success in one step. Instead, you’re led to succeed through the opportunities you notice and take advantage of. It’s best not to expect success to come all at once with little time or effort.

Ayn Rand: Recognize Opportunity

<ul><li>Think of success as something you can achieve step by step.</li><li>Each step or “rung” is an opportunity.</li><li>In order to benefit the most, keep your eyes open to whatever opportunities come your way.</li><li>The more opportunities you recognize and utilize, the more likely it is you’ll be successful.</li></ul> Open your mind to the possibilities - Make a list of opportunities you have available to you right now. Consider all facets of your life. What can you do to take full advantage of them? -------------------------------

“It's better to hang out with people better than you. Pick out associates whose behavior is better than yours and you'll drift in that direction.” ~Warren Buffett

Selecting successful people to fraternize with provides you with wonderful role models, free education, and information about how those people excel.As you spend time with them, you’ll tend to copy their behaviors, become more motivated, and achieve your own success. Known for his common sense approach to investing and managing money, Buffett has applied this same mantra when finding mentors to emulate.

Warren Buffett: Find Mentors Whom You Can Emulate

Spending time with people who have more knowledge, business savvy, expertise, and even creativity can rub off on you. When you choose to spend time with people you want to be like, you’re provided with a treasure trove of information about how those peers work and achieve their goals.Seek and find at least one mentor in your professional field. ACTION TIME: ●     Choose one goal you’d like to work on and find an appropriate mentor.●     Approach that person and ask them to mentor you.●     Keep going until you find a mentor you respect and trust that’s willing to work with you.

How to Apply Warren Buffett’s Tip to Your Life!

“If you're trying to achieve, there will be roadblocks. I've had them; everybody has had them. But obstacles don't have to stop you. If you run into a wall, don't turn around and give up. Figure out how to climb it, go through it, or work around it.” ~Michael Jordan

Jordan reminds us that when we’re working toward accomplishing goals, we’ll run in to obstacles. It’s necessary to expect them on your road to success.However, these obstacles must not deter you. Instead, confront your challenges, figure out how to resolve the issues, and then fix them. From the choice of wording, it’s clear that Jordan believes if a person is creative enough, he can rise above any obstacle that appears before him.Basically, Jordan tells us to expect troublesome situations and “figure out” solutions to those roadblocks in order to be successful.

Michael Jordan: Confront and Resolve Obstacles

It’s always wise to be prepared. Recognize that it’s normal to experience bumps in the road on your way to a better life. ●     Put on your thinking cap and brainstorm ways to get past your challenge.●     Talk to your friends.●     Seek advice from your mentor.●     Try anything and everything to solve your dilemma.  ACTION TIME:●     Choose a current challenge you’re facing.●     Brainstorm several possible solutions to work around that obstacle.●     Put your plan into action.

“Success means doing the best we can with what we have. Success is the doing, not the getting; in the trying, not the triumph. Success is a personal standard, reaching for the highest that is in us, becoming all that we can be.” ~Zig Ziglar

Ziglar makes the point that success is less connected to receiving something than it is with doing something — taking action to get what you want.You must put forth some effort to succeed. But it’s not necessary to win every race in order to ultimately achieve your goals. Reach within to discover the best of what you have to give while you’re reaching for the stars.Ziglar believes if you do this, you have arrived — you are successful.

Zig Ziglar: Enjoy the Journey

Achieving success is a journey. No matter where you are or what you have, you can start your road to success from there. Taking action to do whatever it is you’ve chosen and putting forth your greatest efforts will move you further in that journey. The more you try, the more likely you are to achieve your dream. ACTION TIME:Which of your goals requires more effort to ensure your success?------------------------------------ Determine an action you should be doing more of to reach this goal and double your efforts.

How to Apply Zig Ziglar’s Tip to Your Life!

Discovering your passion,having faith,taking responsibility for your own life,and thinking positive will help you begin your journey toward success.  Finding mentors, confrontingand resolving obstacles,and realizing you’re on a journey will all aid you in your quest for success.  Achieving success is within your reach!

👀 Learning from Six Minutes to Success ( Bob Proctor )

Bob Proctor

Take a stand, speak up and refuse to let others hurt you.Throughout your life time, some people disrespect you, discredit you and treat you poorly for no apparent reason at all.Don’t consume yourself with trying to change them or win their approval. And don’t make any space in your heart to hate them.You don’t have any control what others think about you, But you do have a control over how you decide to internalize their opinions.Leave them to their own judgements. Let people love you for who are, and not for who they want you to be. Or let them walk away if they choose.

Seriously, be strong and know when enough is enough.

Read the lines to inspire you to take a stand and be strong even in the situation that is non supportive.

Deep work is the act of performing thoughtfully and with focus, concentration, and intent. It's the opposite of multi-tasking.<ol><li> Work Deeply</li><li>Embrace Boredom</li><li>Quit Social Media</li><li>Drain the Shallows”</li></ol>The deep work rules are designed to help you make the most of your time and attention, to better achieve your goals.

The Four Rules of Deep Work

It’s not enough to have the intention to work more deeply. We need to systematically install new routines and rituals to create the new habits that will lead to more and more deep work. This is a hallmark of great humans.

Rule#1 - Work Deeply

For some reason these days, the MOMENT we have a lull in our lives—whether that’s a few minutes before a friend arrives for lunch or in line at the grocery store or whatever—most of us *immediately* grab our smart phone and compulsively check out whatever we think we need to see right this second. We have about a hundredth of a second of tolerance for boredom.Cal tells us that rather than immediately flail around in the shallow end of the distraction pool, we need to EMBRACE BOREDOM. Use those moments to think or breathe deeply.

Rule#2 - Embrace Boredom

If there’s a poster child for shallow living, it’s social media. Cal walks us through a logical analysis of the fact that just because there’s a little benefit to things like social media (e.g., staying connected to old friends, etc.), doesn’t mean it’s actually worth the time we give it.If we REALLY want to live deeply—working and loving—we can do better than fritter away our time on social media. The bold among us shall quit it!

Rule#3 - Quit Social Media

One of Cal’s big tips here? SCHEDULE EVERY MINUTE OF EVERY DAY. Not to drive yourself crazy, but to bring more mindfulness to your day.

Rule#4 - Drain the Shallows

Deep Work is a book about the skills we need in the age of Google. To thrive in the modern world, you have to have the skills of the masters: concentration, focus, the ability to work deeply, the talent to produce high-quality work without getting distracted. This breakthrough guide to focus and productivity is the most talked-about business book of the year.

One of the most valuable skills in our economy is becoming increasingly rare. If you master this skill, you'll achieve extraordinary results. Deep Work is an indispensable guide to anyone seeking focused success in a distracted world. 'Cal Newport is exceptional in the realm of self-help authors' New York Times 'Deep work' is the ability to focus without distraction on a cognitively demanding task. Coined by author and professor Cal Newport on his popular blog Study Hacks, deep work will make you better at what you do, let you achieve more in less time and provide the sense of true fulfilment that comes from the mastery of a skill. In short, deep work is like a superpower in our increasingly competitive economy. And yet most people, whether knowledge workers in noisy open-plan offices or creatives struggling to sharpen their vision, have lost the ability to go deep - spending their days instead in a frantic blur of email and social media, not even realising there's a better way. A mix of cultural criticism and actionable advice, DEEP WORK takes the reader on a journey through memorable stories -- from Carl Jung building a stone tower in the woods to focus his mind, to a social media pioneer buying a round-trip business class ticket to Tokyo to write a book free from distraction in the air -- and surprising suggestions, such as the claim that most serious professionals should quit social media and that you should practice being bored. Put simply: developing and cultivating a deep work practice is one of the best decisions you can make in an increasingly distracted world and this book will point the way.

Master one of our economy’s most rare skills and achieve groundbreaking results with this “exciting” book (Daniel H. Pink) from an “exceptional” author (New York Times Book Review). Deep work is the ability to focus without distraction on a cognitively demanding task. It's a skill that allows you to quickly master complicated information and produce better results in less time. Deep Work will make you better at what you do and provide the sense of true fulfillment that comes from craftsmanship. In short, deep work is like a super power in our increasingly competitive twenty-first century economy. And yet, most people have lost the ability to go deep-spending their days instead in a frantic blur of e-mail and social media, not even realizing there's a better way. In Deep Work, author and professor Cal Newport flips the narrative on impact in a connected age. Instead of arguing distraction is bad, he instead celebrates the power of its opposite. Dividing this book into two parts, he first makes the case that in almost any profession, cultivating a deep work ethic will produce massive benefits. He then presents a rigorous training regimen, presented as a series of four "rules," for transforming your mind and habits to support this skill. 1. Work Deeply 2. Embrace Boredom 3. Quit Social Media 4. Drain the Shallows A mix of cultural criticism and actionable advice, Deep Work takes the reader on a journey through memorable stories-from Carl Jung building a stone tower in the woods to focus his mind, to a social media pioneer buying a round-trip business class ticket to Tokyo to write a book free from distraction in the air-and no-nonsense advice, such as the claim that most serious professionals should quit social media and that you should practice being bored.

Cal Newport is Provost’s Distinguished Professor of Computer Science at Georgetown University, and the author of seven books. His ideas and writing are frequently featured in major publications and on TV and radio.From his website: "I write about the intersection of digital technology and culture. I’m particularly interested in our struggle to deploy these tools in ways that support instead of subvert the things we care about in both our personal and professional lives."

Deep Work

This is something I see everyday.There is a massive difference in learning and doing. I see people attend every single webinar, study every new product that comes out and spend 90% of their time studying.It's great to learn when you start, but at the end of the day the only thing that will move you forward in your business is putting in the work.You should work 80% and study 20%.When you first start out it's fine to study and absorb information, but pick a method and make a commitment to stick with it and make it work. Don't jump to a new method every week because the next method looks better.

Work 80% and Learn 20%

why people fail! It's one thing to hear how to do something and another to actually follow the instructions and take action on what you learned. If you're doing this, STOP right now and think about what you're doing. You will never get to the end goal without getting in the trenches, putting in the work and learning what does and doesn't work for YOU!
