The solution? Focus on our goals one at a time until we accomplish them all.
Carry a list of your goals with you everywhere. Individuals will be on your path, who - when you show them your goals - may be able to help you achieve them.
ACTION STEP
To see our dreams come true we need to discover the natural talents we were born with. Think about the things that you love to do, things that make you feel like a million bucks, things that you really don’t have to try too hard at to be successful.
For example, when I stand in front of an auditorium filled with thousands of people, and speak to them about fulfilling their dreams, my mind and body are filled with energy – so much that I’m practically buzzing all over. When I’m speaking to people I’m so excited I can hardly stand still. Speaking and writing are my right livelihood. I love it and it loves me.
To discover your strengths, ask yourself a few questions, like:
1. What are some activities that I excel at without a lot of effort, study or preparation?
2. What do I do well that most people find difficult?
3. What skills do I have that makes people make “wow!” comments and compliments?
4. If I had all the money I could ever spend – meaning money is not a concern – what would I do?
Take this list of activities and on a scale of 1 –10 (10 being what you feel you’re most talented at) rank these activities. Your biggest rewards will come from the activities you’ve ranked 7 and higher.
Once you have your top activities – you should have 5 or fewer – choose the one you love to do the most, because that is your primary aim. Over a lifetime, a well-chosen primary aim tends to extend itself into many possibilities.
“It matters only that you manifest your genius; it doesn't matter when. It's never too late or too early.”
