Achieving dreams require two main ingredients

Many of us have dreams for 2009 and even beyond, but there are two key ingredients that will hasten achieving our dreams.

Dreams cannot be put on autopilot. They won't happen by themselves no matter how much we want them to or believe in them. That certainly will help, but there's more to it than that.

First, we have to have a vision. Top producer in our company or area for 2009 - probably won't happen until later in the year. Top 5 on Active Rain for your city or area. Starting a counseling or tutoring service. Being a published author. Being asked to deliver an important address to a prestigious organization.

Then you need action. Action that you supply. Directed, purposeful action.You'll need a series of interim goals and benchmarks and detailed action plans to achieve those those goals - we'll save that for another time.

For now, decide on a worthwhile dream - or more than one - for this year. If it's big enough it might take several years and ultimately involve the work of many others.

Dreams inspire us, they motivate, they empower. They allow us to go through the valleys with our eyes fixed on the peaks ahead.
