Can\’t making dreams come true be just as easy? Can\’t we free ourselves of our doubts? Is it not possible? How can we do it in a way so that it looks as easy as brushing our teeth? This is an excerpt form the book named ONE by Masami Sato and it shows how it can be done step-by-step, getting one ready to start walking towards one\’s dreams today.
All of us have dreams. But all of us do not have faith in ourselves so that we can have those dreams and live them in our lifetime. In fact, the secret to have such assuredness is simple. And the reason why we hesitate so much is also straightforward.
We can now start by asking ourselves the first question..
Why do we not do the things we want to do?
Often, our thoughts stop our actions. Sometimes the more we think about it, the less we become committed to accomplish what we initially wanted to do. Because the more we think about it, we come up with more and more reasons for not doing it.
Is it then possible to be sure that we will definitely accomplish what we want to do in our life?
Sure, absolutely! To start with, let us look at the power of habits
If we are scheduled to go to a meeting tomorrow night, we wouldn\’t spend lots of time thinking whether we can get there or not. We wouldn\’t be concerned about the chance of having a car accident and missing the appointment. Just like when we are walking to the bathroom, we wouldn\’t worry that the toilet might be broken!
We have so much more certainty about these types of \’normal\’ actions we take every day. They\’re habits.
But, we doubt our dreams
Most interestingly, there are plenty of things we are not equally sure about. Particularly the things that we really want to in life – our Dreams!
So, what is the secret for the assurance that we will realize our dreams?
First: Decide to make it a daily habit!
We can start being more certain about our actions to meet our desires-the type of desires that really nourishes our life.
So, for example, if your dream is to give and contribute to society and giving is a key desire in your life, there is no reason to doubt that it\’s possible for you to contribute to others. It can just become one of your daily habits.
Second: Make it as important (and as easy) as brushing our teeth
Realising dreams can be just like brushing one\’s teeth. It simply doesn\’t feel nice if we do not brush our teeth for pretty long, isn\’t it? We can\’t bother to spend hours considering which toothpaste we should use or wait to clean teeth till there is some need to do so. We feel a little out of sorts if our teeth are not clean. So we clean them. That is all!
Back to our example, if giving is our utmost desire, then we need to ask ourselves these questions: What if giving actually was as important as brushing our teeth? What if it makes us feel good? And what if it kept our life healthy?
No matter whether we have a lot or very little just now, we can definitely start giving it and sharing it with others today. No matter how seemingly unbelievable it is to fulfil our dreams, we can start proceeding towards them today. We should view it as something crucial, a priority issue that we should practice every day! Then we would feel unhappy if we don\’t do it. Just like brushing our teeth.
and Third: Always give first, then we will get
When we are ready to give first before we have even got what we yearn for – what we are dreaming of – we are sending a strong message to ourselves which says, \’there is enough, and more will come.\’ It lets us know the joy today – the joy of sharing.
If you want to be rich, be generous. And you\’ll be blessed with abundance. If you want to be superbly intelligent, don\’t be afraid to teach others. And you\’ll know more. If you want to give, just give selflessly. Do not attach any expectation of return. Just let go. And joy will automatically be rewarded to you. The simple joy of giving.
Do not be scared of sharing and giving what you have, for it will not thwart your plans of achieving your purpose, whatever it may be. It may only help you to fulfil your dreams faster. And your journey there will be one of total contentment.
But surely habits are much smaller in scale, compared to our BIG dreams?
Just manage do it, no need to worry about the \’scale\’.
Because anything is possible in life. We might start things in a small way. And these small things will always take us to another action, and another. Having certainty in our small actions and executing them one by one always takes us forward. But if we thought it was \’impossible\’ to do something now because it just seemed \’too big\’, it will never happen.
The power to achieve one\’s dreams has always been there, and will always be there. Those who have managed wonders, sensations, and real joy, already know this. They go on using it.
Visions and miracles do not happen accidentally. We choose to create them.
So, would you start walking towards your dreams today?
