Achieving your dream is not easy. It must be remembered that the only way to do this is to forget about everything else. And don't let that scare you, below we will tell you what to do.
Our brain is like a ball filled with bees. Thousands of thoughts and they all fly in different directions. Which one to follow? For everyone. We are arranged in such a way that we want everything. We want to become millionaires, learn 10 languages and eat pizza at the same time. But is it just right?
Imagine that our thoughts and desires are bees pushing the ball (that is, us) in different directions.
And the ball just stands still. He would like to move in the direction of his dream, but something always gets in the way. That pizza, then the TV series, then friends.
This is how most people live.
We are constantly in conflict and we never have enough time to follow our dreams.
Let's change that!
The curse of a great idea
Imagine that you are back 20 years in the past and are ready to create Google, Facebook or Vkontakte when no one thought about them yet. You have 3 ideas in your head that can generate billions and you know that. But if you chase all three, you will not achieve anything.
This is why many of us never reach our dreams. After all, moving in 3 directions, you will go much less than moving in one of them.
How people achieve the impossible
Imagine an absolutely incredible goal. For example, write a book about your life or go to Mars. If you want to do it to the impossibility, if your life revolves only around it, what will you do? You will lose interest in everything else. You will turn into a big bee pushing the ball in the right direction. Only forward to Mars, without turning.
A manic desire to achieve a goal is the key to success. This pattern can be traced in all geniuses, beginning and ending. The ability to focus on one goal is what determines ultimate success.
Many people fail not because of a lack of potential, but because of the number of different paths in which they spend their energy and time.
How to tame a swarm of bees
You always you will want more than you have. But realizing that moving in one direction is the key to success, there are some things you can do to change:
- Set big goals. Moving towards a big goal is easier than towards a small one, no matter how paradoxical it may sound. Because, moving towards a big goal, you ignore everything else.
- Divide your life into three parts. For example, work, home and weekends. Each part should have one big goal. Not more.
- Set aside the unnecessary. was smart enough to create Facebook first and then learn Chinese.
- Beware of desires. As I said, you will always want everything and more. Control yourself. Each new goal will increase the time to reach the main.
- Control your bees. You might not make a new Google, land on Mars, or become a global rock star. But you can become, for example, a healthy and athletic director of a company. Success and sports are complementary goals. A healthy and athletic person is the best leader. Imagine two bees pushing a ball in the same direction. This is success and sport.
People who have achieved their life goals did so by not being distracted by everything else. Don't be afraid that life will become less interesting.
If you find what you love, then the time devoted to it will become for you the most desired and spent in pleasure. Set serious goals, control your bees and say no to all other goals. It's not easy, but now you at least know the value of your dream.
