MAKE YOUR OWN DREAM LIST

Here is an exercise for you.Take out a piece of paper and at the top write the words ''Dream List.'' Underline these words and then write down everything that you can think of that you could ever possibly want if you had no limitations whatsoever. 

       Most people are held back by their self-limiting beliefs.The way you burst these mental chains is with a dream list.The very fact that you can write down something that you would love to have someday means that you probably have within you, right now, the ability to achieve it. Let your mind float freely as you write. There will be lots of time to organize and evaluate your dreams later. 


WHAT WOULD YOU DARE TO DREAM?

Here is a great question: ''What one great thing would you dare to dream if you knew you could not fail?'' 

       If you were absolutely guaranteed of success in the achievement of any one goal, big or small, long-term or short-term, what would it be? If a billionaire took a liking to you and offered to write you a check to cover any goal that you could clearly define, what one goal would you choose? 

       If you could have any job, what would it be? If you could work for any kind of company, what kind of a company would you select? Where would it be, and what would it be doing? If your family life and your relationships could be perfect in every respect, what would they look like? Answer these questions clearly. Write them down. 


START WORK ON YOUR FUTURE

You begin the creation of your ideal future by making up your dream list.You write down everything that you would want to be, do and have, exactly as if you had no limitations at all.You make up your list as if you were absolutely guaranteed of success. Then you can begin refining your list, step by step to develop a detailed blueprint for your life. 

       Henry David Thoreau once wrote, ''Have you built your castles in the air? Good, that's where they should be built. Now, go to work and build foundations under them.'' Once you have broken free from your limited thinking, like a balloon casting loose its moorings and rising high into the sky, you can begin to turn your dreams and fantasies into concrete practical goals with specific plans of action. 

       Your ability to set goals and to make plans for their accomplishment is the ''master skill'' of success.With this master skill, there are no limits on what you can accomplish. Putting your goals on paper is the next step in the process.
