What if making dreams come true is just so easy? Can we let go of our doubts? Is it possible? How can we do it so magically so that it is as easy as brushing our teeth? This excerpt from ONE Book by Masami Sato shows us exactly how to do it step-by-step, preparing you to start walking towards your dreams today.
We all have dreams. But not all of us have the faith in ourselves, that we can have and live those dreams in our lifetime. Actually, the secret to have such certainty is simple. And the reason why we doubt it so much is also straightforward.
We can now start by asking ourselves the first question..
Why don't we do everything we always wanted to do?
Our thoughts usually stop us from acting. Sometimes the more we think about something, the less we become committed to achieve what we set out to do in the first place. Because the more we think about it, we tend to come up with more and more reasons for not doing it.
Is it then possible to be sure that we will definitely accomplish what we want to do in our life?
Yes, definitely! For a start, let us look at the power of habits..
If we are scheduled to go to a meeting tomorrow night, we wouldn't spend lots of time thinking whether we can get there or not. We wouldn't be concerned about the chance of having a car accident and missing the appointment. Just like when we are walking to the bathroom, we wouldn't worry that the toilet might be broken!
We have so much more sureness about these types of 'normal' activities we indulge in every day. They are the habits.
However, we are doubtful about our dreams
The interesting part is that there are several things that we are not very sure about. These are the things that we really want to do in our lives - our Dreams!
Then, what is the secret for the conviction that we will accomplish our dreams?
First: Decide to make it a daily habit!
We can get started by being more confident about our acts meant to meet our desires - the type of dreams that actually fosters our life.
So, for example, if your dream is to give and contribute to society and giving is a key desire in your life, there is no reason to doubt that it's possible for you to contribute to others. It can just become one of your daily habits.
Second: Make it as important (and as easy) as brushing our teeth
Making a dream come true can be just like cleaning the teeth. It gives a very uncomfortable feeling if teeth are not brushed for a long time, isn't it? Nobody spends hours thinking which brand of toothpaste to use or postpone brushing till there is some specific need to show clean teeth. We feel ill at ease with teeth that are not clean. So we just clean them. It is as simple as that.
Looking at our example, if giving is what we desire most, then we should ask ourselves a few questions: What if giving is truly as important as brushing one's teeth? What if it is giving us a comfortable feeling? What if it aids in remaining healthy?
No matter whether we have a lot or very little just now, we can definitely start giving it and sharing it with others today. No matter how seemingly unbelievable it is to fulfil our dreams, we can start proceeding towards them today. We should view it as something crucial, a priority issue that we should practice every day! Then we would feel unhappy if we don't do it. Just like brushing our teeth.
and Third: Always give first, then we will get
When we give first before we actually fully have what we really want - what we dream of - we send a very powerful message to ourselves that says, "there is enough, and more will come". It allows us to experience the joy today - the joy of giving.
If you want to be wealthy, be munificent. Then you are sure to be blessed with abundance. If you are intelligent enough to do so, do not hesitate to teach others. Then you will learn more. If you feel like giving, just give the whole of you. And do it without expecting anything in return. Just let go. The act of giving is its own reward. The simple satisfaction of giving.
Do not be scared of sharing and giving what you have, for it will not thwart your plans of achieving your purpose, whatever it may be. It may only help you to fulfil your dreams faster. And your journey there will be one of total contentment.
But surely habits are much smaller in scale, compared to our BIG dreams?
Just do it, don't be concerned about the 'scale'
Because anything is possible in life. We might start things in a small way. And these small things will always take us to another action, and another. Having certainty in our small actions and executing them one by one always takes us forward. But if we thought it was 'impossible' to do something now because it just seemed 'too big', it will never happen.
The power to achieve one's dreams has always been there, and will always be there. Those who have managed wonders, sensations, and real joy, already know this. They go on using it.
Dreams and miracles are not accidents. We create them through our choices.
So, are you likely to start moving towards your dreams today?
