Dream the Dream, Then All You Have To Do Is Believe, Achieve, Succeed!
Can success in life really be as simple as my title suggests, I haven’t personally reached the stage in my life where I can lay my beach towel down on crane beach in Barbados and lie back and relax knowing that I have succeeded with my life. I’m at the stage where I’m dreaming the dream and I sure as hell believe that I’m going to succeed. I suppose at the present time, I’m stuck at the achieving part of the great plan to become successful. It has taken me decades of working in a variety of jobs, to come to the conclusion that being a slave to a wage isn’t what I want my life to be about.
Being told what I have to do, or when I can have my lunch break, or when I can or can’t have my holidays, or how much of a pay rise I deserve, is not how I want to live my life anymore. That was the reason I quit my job and decided it was time to fend for myself. The time had come for me to be in control of my own destiny.
I had been dreaming the dream for a number of years, of working for myself and quitting the rate race in the UK and heading to the sun, but I was lacking the spark or the courage to do something about it. Having a secure job with a reasonable wage, 6 weeks holidays a year and a good pension, was a big chain around my neck. As much as I hated working for the boss man, I couldn’t free myself.
But I started to open up my mind and dared to dream the dream, there were those, and still are those people, that will tell me that dreams are fantasy and will never come true. That’s why the dreams of those people can never come true, they don’t believe in the dream.
It really is as simple as the heading of this article states, but you also have to put a lot of commitment, effort and time, into making the dream become a reality. Anyone can do it, you can control your own destiny, and it’s up to ourselves which path we choose to go down.
I put together a game plan as to how I was going to move forward with my life and achieve the things, which I desired. So here I am in Barbados living a much more rewarding and fulfilling life. I may not be earning anywhere near the money I was making back home in the UK, but I’m so much happier working with my family in building up a business through hard work, integrity and honesty.
My advise to anybody out there that hates their job, hates the boss or has had enough of the rat race, or for whatever reason they are unhappy in life. Do something about it; don’t be like all those whingers around you, that are happy and content to moan about how much they hate life, rather than put the same effort into doing something constructive to change things.
You have to begin by dreaming the dream.
