Overcoming defeated dreams.

One of the most difficult things an Artist can do is accept the fact that they could be successful, yes very successful.

The reason why it is difficult to believe is because we cannot see beyond where we are right now, because of the reality of the now, where I am at this point of time.

It is our dreams and visions that allow us to see the future and drive us on, but what happens when these dreams become the reason for the defeat of our future success.

We dream and day dream of our future success, unfortunately if we keep doing this and do not go any further with it, this daydream will turn into a defeated dream and we will give up on it as so many have.

An example is if I dream about having a wonderful relationship with someone and see us doing things together like travelling, unless I do something about it, it will only become another defeated dream.

When I dream about it I need to take the next step and ring the person and begin the relationship, otherwise it will just be another defeated dream.

Dreams need action to become reality, just dreaming about it will not make it happen.

So the next time you dream about your future success you need to ask yourself a question,

“ What steps did I take to get to here?”

[The point of your success in your dream.]

Write down your answers step by step.

You need to day dream with your eyes wide open and your journal in front of you, ask the question and write down your answers, then act on the plan and do it.

We buy things in our head before we purchase them.

We build a house in our mind before we construct it.

Every great success started out as a dream, a thought in someone’s head, then they made it happen.

We plan our success in our minds, then write out how we do it by asking the questions and then working the plan.

I think it is so important to get your dreams and goals down on paper, it makes it real and you can then plan out what you are going to do, step by step.

Seeing it on the paper, reading it and speaking it out loud and having it locked in your imagination covers all the ways we can use to motivate ourselves, own the dream and to go forward.

Writing it out and setting out the steps to achieve it gives you ownership of your dream, now add some emotion and enthusiasm to this, you own it go and make it a reality.

So many defeat themselves by continually daydreaming about what if when I am so successful and bring disappointment into their hearts because it never gets past being a day dream and then becomes a defeated dream.

Instead see the dream completed and ask,

“What steps did I take to get here?”
