What are your greatest dreams?
First, we’ve gotta KNOW that EVERY great achievement was “at first and for a time a dream.”
For some weird reason we see someone we admire and make the bizarre assumption that they’ve ALWAYS been who they are now. Huh?
So Tiger Woods just woke up one morning and was the world’s greatest golfer ever?
Hmmm… Maybe not. He clearly had talent and an incredibly supportive family but he also had a dream. An audacious vision since he was a kid to be the greatest. EVER.
Who says stuff like that?!? (Hint: people who may one day realize their dreams.)
Then, with that crystal clear intention, he planted that dream seed in the fertile soil of incredibly disciplined, hard work. I’ll be surprised (shocked actually), if we could find a golfer who works harder and smarter than Tiger… who more systematically maps out his season, his next tournament, his day, his training.
And you know what happens when you marry that kind of intention with that kind of impeccability? Tiger Woods.
So, what about YOU?
What are you most passionate about? What is it that you and only you can give to the world? What’s your greatest dream?
If you have it defined, crystallize it. If it’s not clear yet, your work is to discover your work!
And as we crystallize the vision (it’s always evolving and crystallizing, btw), we need to wake up the angel that stirs in that seed through our diligent, patient and persistent work ethic.
And, guess what? Give it time and your dream will prove to be the seedling of your new reality.
In the process, remember to:
