What Are You Dreaming About Today?

Everyone has dreams!

Some dreams are suppressed, some are considered doubtful, while others may be happening right before your eyes!

Dreams are often easy to imagine, but acting on them and bringing them to life takes commitment and desire and persistence on your part.

One way to help your visualization process is to design a 'Dream Board'.

Go through various magazines...Money, Fortune, Success, Robb Report, etc. Find magzines that are focused on your interests. It could be golf, travel, quilting, missionary work...whatever really gets you excited is what you need to clip out of magazines and put on your own dream board.

There are different types of boards you can use. Go to a printing company and they'll be able to provide you with the right kind of board. Then after you fill up your Dream Board...take it one step further and take it to Kinko's or somewhere similar and have them laminate it.

Now this process may take a few days or a few weeks to complete depending on how quickly you're able to find the pictures and photos that really inspire you. Don't be in a rush to just put any photos together. This is very important to assemble!

You may even want to start out with one or two 8.5" x 11" boards and work your way up to bigger sizes as you collect more pictures of your dreams. See the board to the left. It's actually neon-yellow colored paper with hand-written quotes on it. That was my first Dream Board.

Also, here's two walls in my office, where I bought many 'Successories' note cards and attached them to my walls. It allows me to read the sayings and use the power of visual photos for inspiration. Each picture and its scripted message has a different meaning to me and it re-focuses me when I review them.

Whatever you do, know that with all of the distractions happening every day, it's important to stay focused on your goals and dreams for your life.

There's nothing wrong with putting yourself in a 'cocoon' sometimes...shielding yourself from all the negativity.

When you have a blocked out time to make calls or work on a project, that's the ideal time to be sure you don't get interrupted...by other people or phone calls. You'll achieve so much more when you complete the task at hand. So turn off any extra phones and tape a 'Do Not Disturb' sign on your door, so you can efficiently and effectively work on your project.

In the end, know that motivation is internal and you need to surround yourself with positive, successful people as well as constant and never-ending thoughts of what it is you want to achieve.
