7 keys to think big and achieve your dreams

Thinking big, as long as dreams remain within the realm of possibility, allows us to be in a constant state of motivation. If you are sure of what you want, don’t let anyone stop you! We give you some tips to achieve this below.

If you want to achieve great things in life, you need to set goals. Goals allow you to determine a clear direction in which you want to go. Big goals allow you to dream big and continue to improve in everything you do. But, you have to think big to achieve those dreams.

Thinking big is not as easy as it seems. Dreaming is easy, but setting out to achieve your dreams is not so easy. The fear of the road can be paralyzing and can turn the difficulty of taking the first step into a wall. Daring to think big can be challenging and make you have to face your environment to get off the path that has been laid out for you. However, it is still your option to do it or not.

Aiming high is what will allow you to advance. If your dreams are mediocre you will achieve mediocre goals.

Dare to dream

Start with your heart and in your mind. Everyone who achieved something great first had to set out to achieve it. Everyone who achieves a goal must first believe that it is possible to do so.

Stop and ask yourself “what if…” You’re just weighing. Nothing is going to happen to you for thinking. Don’t let negative thoughts discourage you. Dare to think big, freely, without limitations, without impositions, without submitting to anything or anyone.

Dream of something credible

Your dream has to be big, it has to go beyond what seems beyond your possibilities. But it also has to be something credible and possible, something that really motivates you because you yourself believe that you can achieve it and for which there are no obvious and insurmountable impediments.

Learning to differentiate between the difficult and the impossible is essential to think big, to establish the final goal and the intermediate stages., to take the first step in the right direction. Just because something is improbable does not mean that it is impossible, no matter how absurd it may seem.

Visualize your dream

A dreamer is capable of seeing himself at the goal, but also of visualizing each stage of the path., every step, every obstacle. Great dreamers enjoy success before they have achieved it. This motivates them to achieve it. On the other hand, they also anticipate difficulties along the way, so that when they appear, they are prepared.

“A burning desire to be and to do is the starting point from which the dreamer must launch himself. “Dreams are not made of indifference, laziness, or lack of ambition.”

-Napoleon Hill-

Capture it

Dare to draw your dream, to write it, to say it out loud. One of the reasons why people are not able to take the path towards their dream is that they are not able to verbalize them, to capture them, to talk about them. That dream remains in the mind, asleep.

If you want to achieve something you have to dare to say it. Do not be afraid. You don’t need to shout it from the rooftops. Simply dare to recognize that you want something. Communicating it to certain people may only serve to encounter obstacles, but also to give it reality.

It also doesn’t mean you can’t skip or avoid them. You’re free. Use your freedom to choose who you tell your goal to and how you will express your goal.

Make a plan

Any journey has a destination. Even when you don’t know very well where you are going, you have to plan the direction you are going to take, what resources you have or where you are going to get what you need. If you don’t, you will progress more slowly, or even stagnate.

Pursuing a dream follows the same scheme. You need to know what you are looking for, where you are going to rely, what you need to start the path. You have to develop coping skills to overcome unexpected events, have alternative plans in case something goes wrong, and be flexible to assume that, perhaps, you will have to do something you didn’t expect.

Work for your dream

Your dream is not going to come alone. A dream is not a seed that you plant and water with enthusiasm and good intentions so that it grows by itself. Your dream is made of bricks that you put one by one. Some you will have to go look for far away, others will weigh more than the others, others will be difficult to place.

The only certain thing is that you will have to work to build your dream. To do this you will have to make the most of your time, spend more time doing and less time thinking about what will be. You already have a goal and a plan. It’s time to put it into action. You can think more, of course, but don’t let that stop you.

Enjoy and celebrate every small achievement

Every time you achieve an intermediate goal, that you surpass an important milestone, celebrate it, enjoy it, recognize that you have done it. Look back and think that, despite the difficulties, you have achieved it. This will give you energy to think about the next phase, to find ideas that will help you improve yourself.
