We are on the path of turning your dreams into Reality. I strongly suggest you read the Part 1 before going ahead to read this article [Part 2]. A brief flashback of Part 1, we talked about the initial ways to begin the journey of turning your dreams into reality. First, you need to visualise your dreams vividly. Second, you need to draw out a workable plan. Lastly, you need to take a step to start working on the plan. Without wasting any more of our precious time, let's continue from where we left off.
Sacrifice
You have visualise your dreams, made a plan and have started working on it, what you need next to make some sacrifice to make sure you follow through on your plan. It's easy to make plan and then not follow it because of what you stand to be losing when you are following it. To be a super star footballer, isn't a day job, they wake up it in morning, leave their families, and train everyday, diet themselves and stick to some rules. Or you want to graduate with a First Class degree, when you mates are out partying at night, you need to make that sacrifice of studying then. It's not easy to rich or turn your dreams into reality, it takes a lot of sacrifice. Start making that sacrifice today and joy your reality in the nearest future.
Surround Yourself With Achievers
When you the best in your group, change that group find another group of people. If you stay in that group, you won't push yourself for more because you will believe you have arrived. But when you change from that group and join a group where you low, you will try to fight your way to the top again, which will bring about more success for you. The people that you spend your time with must be unconsciously driving you to do more. Imagine are in a group where you are the only one who has a car, you will be feeling excited because you are best. But you need to leave that group of people and join a new group of people that have 3 - 5 cars. Now you will feel small, hence, you want to work harder more to get as much cars as your mate, hence, creating success for yourself.
Avoid Isolation
You will to talk to your family members and friends about your dream, so they can support you. That emotional support goes a long way in making you more motivated, dedicated and determined in making sure your dream becomes a reality. Tell them of them of your plan, so that when you backslide, they are there you put back your path. Make sure they are family members and friends you trust completely though, you don't need to be telling people who will won't support you emotional and mentally. The best part about telling your trusted family members and friends, is that, when you finally turn your dreams into reality, it's a whole lot more fun because they will cheer and merry with you.
Staying connected with families and friends who has potential keeps you motivated always "Avoid isolation with good people". From my own view There are some family member you should avoid too. The dreamkiller ones
Yeah, exactly, that's why I said only trusted family members and friends. They are lots of family members and friends who are dreamkillers, you need to avoid them and never disclose your dreams and plans to them.
Thanks for your comment @marvinix
My greatest desire this year, is to find the right association that desperately wants to succeed. One's group goes a long way, in fact it is way effective than anything else. Because even if you are not really the motivated type, seeing people around you trying to succeed will encourage the person.
Exactly, they motivate and inspire you to success without you even knowing because you only trying to up your class to their standard.
