How to Make Your Dreams Come True

Create the Life You Want in 6 Small Steps

What would you like to do with the rest of your life? Would you like to write a novel, become a digital nomad, or develop a business that you’re passionate about?

Or there might be smaller things you’d like to do, such as traveling to a particular country, going on a retreat, or trying yoga, Pilates or another type of exercise.

When you think about your goals, especially the bigger, long-term ones, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed and tempted to think you’ll never be able to achieve them.

The good news is that it’s possible to reach all your goals, although it may take a lot of time and consistent effort to achieve the larger ones.

Here’s how to achieve any goal, large or small, in six small steps.

1. Write the Goal Down

If a goal is floating around in your head, it’s all to easy to say, “I’ll do it tomorrow” or “Maybe I’ll have time to do it in future.”

But somehow you never get around to it.

When you write the goal down, it becomes more concrete and you start to think, “Yes, I could do that!”

2. Brainstorm the Way Forward

Often, we don’t move towards our goals because we don’t know how to. The good news is that you don’t need to know the exact steps you’ll take to reach your goal in the beginning.

Sit down and brainstorm as many ways as possible to move towards your goal. Try not to judge yourself. Write down absolutely everything that comes to mind, even if it sounds crazy or impossible.

3. Decide on the First Step

Look at your brainstorming and decide what your first step towards achieving your goal will be.

Write that step down and write a date by the side of it. By doing this, you’re committing yourself to taking that first step by this date.

Try to make it today or tomorrow. It’s best to take action while you’re feeling positive, otherwise you may talk yourself out of moving forward.

4. Move Forward

Now that you’ve taken the first step, the next step should become clear to you.

However, if you’re not sure what to do, take a little time to think about it, looking back at your brainstorming and seeking advice or inspiration.

Don’t take too long to think about it, though. Doing something is better than doing nothing, even if you’re not sure if you’re doing the best thing.

Write the next step down and set yourself a deadline for achieving this step.

5. Celebrate Every Success

Reward yourself for every step forward you take. You are awesome. You’re creating your best life possible.

The best way of rewarding yourself is to praise yourself for the positive action you’ve taken. You could also give yourself a small treat, such as watching a movie or enjoying a cup of hot chocolate topped with whipped cream.

Write down every single achievement you make, even if it’s a tiny step forward. Try to write down one positive action you took each day, even if it was just to do some research and think about your next step.

6. Review Your Goals

Take some time each week or month to review the goals you’re working towards.

Ask yourself:

What progress have I made?
Does progress towards one or more of my goals seem to have slowed down or stalled?
Why has progress slowed down or stalled?
What could I do to move forward?

If you feel as if you don’t know the best way forward, ask someone you trust for advice or look online for examples of how other people have achieved this goal.

Also ask yourself if all your goals are still important to you. If a goal is no longer important, it’s OK to drop it or to adapt it.

Start Moving Forward Now!

Start taking action towards one of your goals today. Try not to think too much about how you’ll achieve the goal. Just take one step forward, even if it’s a very small step.

It’s comforting to realize that all you need to know is the first step.

Once you’ve taken that first step, you’ll know what to do next. If you get stuck at any stage, you can always brainstorm possible ways forward, ask for advice or research how others have achieved this goal.

You can do whatever you want to do in life. You can create the life you’ve always dreamed of.

You have to start somewhere, so why not begin by taking that first step forward today?
