Step 3: Discover Your Untapped Potential
Did you know there are more opportunities for you in a day than your mind even realizes? Your receptors may not be open to these prospects because you have grown accustom to regularly doing the same old thing. As humans, you like to repeat behaviors; we do what we know how. It's as if your own underlying behaviors are causing blindness to the very roadways to your success. You can change that by simply deciding to be more courageous in your life. Up the ante and go big with your goal. Release the fear of failure by trusting in the internal and external resources that are available to you. These tools could very well be the landmarks on your map to achieve your goal.Ask yourself, "If I could not fail, what would I do?"
Step 4: Strategic Execution
You're now ready to fertilize your desire with action. Apply your 'dream thinking' from Step 3, and begin to form a list of objectives that will transition your 'dream resolution' into an achievable goal. Then filter each objective into a task. Brainstorm the ideas by continuing to dream the possibilities; doing so will marry the power of your spirit to firmly execute an action-plan.The outline proposed here will help you to discover how something that seemed out of reach can quickly become within your grasp. For instance, if your dream is to run a marathon, but at the present time the farthest you can run is a mile, your mind most likely believes this is an impossible goal. However, by categorizing the necessary steps into an outline, you'll soon see how to create tasks that are the building blocks to reach your goal.
