”Somebody once told me the definition of hell:
“On your last day on earth, the person you became will meet the person you could have become.” — Anonymous
Sometimes, to become successful and get closer to the person we can become, we don’t just need to have a dream and a plan — we need to have an excellent strategy on how to effectively execute this plan.
There are certain things that are universal, which will make you successful if you appropriately follow the laid down guide lines, even though each one of us could have a different definition of success.
To be successful in any field of life, you must learn how to work with others, get instructions and adequately follow it. Some people who have always thought they can do it all by themselves have all ended up at the negative part of life. No Man Can Live In Isolation.
It is therefore paramount that we learn from every person we come in contact with, learn every day of our life and never feel too proud to seek for help. We are different and unique, some people in life are kinda fortunate to achieve success easily due to the favourable environment the were born into. They have an established family root already, hence making success only a formality. Others are not that fortunate and find themselves in difficult environment with an unstable background, making achieving success in life a mountain Everest quest. This was why a great philosopher famously said; some people are born great, some achieve greatness while others have greatness bestowed on them.
However, to achieve greatness, you must be willing to sacrifice and be ready to learn. People want to be successful in different works of life, some want to be successful in their education, some in their business, others in their marriage and so on… But no matter the area you want to succeed, one thing is required. You must have a Dream!
Dream is the fuel that fires you up to achieve. It is an essential aspect of life. Dreams determine the ideas that come to your head, goals you set, the plans you have, your strategies to execute. Dreams give purpose to life. It gives reasons to work hard today and hopefully look forward to tomorrow. However, having a dream is never an issue because anyone can have as much big dreams as they want. Dreams are free.
The challenge then comes in actualisation of one’s dream(s). This is where a lot of people woefully Fail! But you don’t need to be scared or worry about failing because that’s why DreamMaker is here for you.
“You only live once, but if you do it right, once is enough.” — Mae West

Some Insights On How To Make Your Dream(s) Come Through
Give Up Your Excuses
“It’s not about the cards you’re dealt, but how you play the hand.”
― Randy Pausch, The Last Lecture
Successful people know that they are responsible for their life, no matter their starting point, weaknesses, and past failures.
Realising that you are responsible for what happens next in your life is both
frightening and exciting.
And when you do, that becomes the only way you can become successful, because excuses limit and prevent us from growing personally and professionally.
Own your life; no one else will.
Don’t Have a Short Term Mindset
Successful people set long-term goals, and they know these aims are merely the result of short-term habits that they need to do every day.
These healthy habits shouldn’t be something you do; they should be something you embody.
There is a difference between: “Working out to get a summer body” and “Working out because that’s who you are.”
So don’t just look at the immediate benefits but have your eyes fixed on the long term rewards. Take a step at a time and take it day by day, if you can be making up to 1% progress each day, then you will even be surprised at your self what you will have achieved in a year time.
Don’t Be Obsessed For The Need To Control Everything
“Some things are up to us, and some things are not up to us.” — Epictetus, Stoic philosopher
Differentiating these two is important.
Detach from the things you cannot control, and focus on the ones you can, and know that sometimes, the only thing you will be able to control is your attitude towards something.
Remember, nobody can be frustrated while saying “Bubbles” in an angry voice.
Give Up The Toxic People
“You are the average of the five people you spend the most time with.”
― Jim Rohn
People we spend the most time with, add up to who we become.
There are people who are less accomplished in their personal and professional life, and there are people who are more accomplished than us. If you spend time with those who are behind you, your average will go down, and with it, your success.
But if you spend time with people who are more accomplished than you, no matter how challenging that might be, you will become more successful.
Take a look at around you, and see if you need to make any changes.
