Introspection - your first step towards achieving your dream!

 

It's been quite some time since I posted, and I take this opportunity to thank all readers, friends, fans and all those who have become an inspiration for me to write these articles and post them for you. I thank you for your patience. Today life is itself the biggest teacher, and if you keep our mind open along with our eyes and ears, a lot many problems can be resolved. All you need is to keep aside that "Ego" and take the first step to dreaming and achieving your dream with all your heart and soul! Then nothing can stop you from achieving what you desire!

I have always been in awe of this quotation and I quote again - Zig Ziglar once said .... “If you can dream it, then you can achieve it. You will get all you want in life if you help enough other people get what they want.”

 Dreams are the first step to achieving great things. If you cannot dream then you have no stepping stone to go higher to your goals. But at the same time you need to have a change of heart, change of perception, and most important step in that direction is Introspection!

As is said in the image above, truly introspection is a journey to yourself and away from it! The process of introspection should be taken as a cleaning process to remove all negatives from your mind, and habits. It is like re-creating a new "You"! It does not necessarily mean that you are bad or need improvement, but many times you need to realign yourself with the elements in nature. We shall deal with this more in detail in my subsequent posts, but for now you can take a simple lesson that true introspection of yourself can create wonders for you!

Introspection - in other words you could simply put it as "Knowing yourself". Most of the times we are under the sad impression that we are the best, and we have no faults whatsoever and keep looking down upon others. This is your biggest drawback. 

As Aristotle rightly put it "Knowing yourself is the beginning of all wisdom". When we start to know ourselves, in the true perspective, it is then and only then that we have really taken the first step to a better tomorrow! When you dream of something it is a mental manifestation of your dreams, and the path to the physical achievement of those dreams is not so easy! It is easy to dream,but it takes a lot of courage, dedication, integrity and patience to achieve those dreams. Yes never cease to dream because however big your dreams may be they are certainly achievable, but you will have to work towards them with all your might, and they will be yours!

When I say "Live the Dream" I mean every word of it and nothing can stop you from achieving it!

Before you start making those dreams to manifest themselves you will have to go through a process which I call the three C's

C -> Choice - C -> Chance - C -> Change

This Image says it all!

In life if you want to achieve any success you would need to follow these three steps. Choice, Chance and Change. As is rightly said You must make a deliberate choice to take a chance or your life will never change!

Every change requires a lot of introspection, re-alignment of your nature, your character, your habits, your lifestyle and your very mind and thought process. Once you have done this with your true mind and heart your next step is to take the chance of your life, because this is going to take to closer to your dreams. As is said "You will never learn to swim, unless you jump into the water". So take this chance with confidence and your life will change forever!

This post is only a first step to let you loose to achieving your dreams! Let your mind dream as it will, consolidate those dreams in a thought process that will make you change yourself to achieve the impossible. However hard the circumstances may be, there is always a solution to all problems and most of the times these problems or rather obstacles are created by ourselves! So take the first step to clear those obstacles, draw your dream map to happiness, success, prosperity, wealth, health, and a better life for yourself and others and you will have achieved peace and tranquility of mind and soul.  

Before I conclude my first post, I would like to once again advance on what Zig Ziglar had said
“If you can dream it, then you can achieve it. You will get all you want in life if you help enough other people get what they want.”

  

The present step you are taking is not only to help other people get what they want as I am trying to do in helping you achieve your dreams, but in also achieving your own dreams as well! In the happiness of others, and the universe around you lies your true happiness. 

In my subsequent post we shall deal with in details various other character traits that are deterrents to achieving your dreams and how to tackle them, to achieve success and happiness in your life!
