Five Simple Ways of Achieving Your Dreams Faster

Every man is success thirsty. But whereas some are wild, others are docile. To be success thirsty TM calls for such quality as having a dream/ambition/direction for one’s life -- sense of mission. Apart from the homing pigeon, man has the cybernetic instinct to follow through a direction -- but you’ve got to make use of it by getting a focus for oneself. Living one’s dreams and aspirations has everything to do with solving problems. Man faces several problems each day; cultural, economic, environmental, social and political. And in his attempts to solve them, he creates more in their stead -- normal. A great fallacy of this world is the forced-believe that, man can solve all the problems he faces. Though not true, what is truer is that, you—yes you could achieve all that you hold as dream with little hard work. Now that’s possible.
The word -- hard work is overused and has come to represent many ugly things to many people. Menial. Tiring. Difficult things. To be more, you’ve got to plan more TM. Planning as an activity has been identified by many research works as an essential step to success. Remember the cliché, if you fail to plan, you plan to fail. Now I am going to run you through a strategy I’ve devised, confirmed and taught to others that has bolster their confidence to achieving more. The dream cycle -- as is called, operates as a purifying machine of your many dreams of life. Nothing beats monitoring what you dream of or hold as your ambition in one’s life. The cycle is in five stages with each level complementing the other into a uniform element called success.
What do you hold up as your ambition/dream in this life? Subject your dreams to the cycle and you will have the energy and vitality to be more than you are today. Know: you can do more than you’re currently performing. Your production capacity (PC) for achieving more is not yet depleted -- often underutilized. The dream cycle was designed to help you up your game.
The five stages are;
• Dream stage – this is the stage where the dream is birthed in its raw form and is usually formless and shapeless. It comes as a flash of light into one’s consciousness. It’s unclear yet we’re elated of its presence. It will need a little fleshing -- checking of details, to get it sharpened for achievement.
• Analysis stage – At this stage one works the details with regards to the dream -- finding out if it’s what you desire. Now there are many a people who have dreams they don’t want. The analysis stage takes you beyond this challenges. It completes the fleshing process for you. Now to exhaustibly get more from this stage you will need patience to leave the idea for some time and get back to it later. You will need to leave the idea lying down for a week before returning to it by which time you would have gotten some other ideas.
• Clarity stage – this stage provides us the opportunity to clarify -- reduce to tangible, the details of the dream and to connect it to our better future. Some people hold ambitions that are disconnected to their future. Everybody should know what and where he’s going. The homing pigeon does. Does this dream promises the place you want to go? Are you at your optimal in getting this achieved? Answers to these questions hold the key to that success short in your life. This stage also helps you to align sets of actions to be employed for the realization of the dream. This stage makes the dream achievable, specific, to-the-point, and realizable. Remember: to achieve greatness one needs clarity of purpose/mission/direction.
• Activity stage – the Activity stage involves action and attitudes. Know: every dream is allergic to inertia. At this stage, one aligns the dreams to sets of actions. Now it helps to eliminate any un-savory and un-favorable attitudes that will stampede the dream. Often man is half his attitudes. Find time to stop, review and renew your activities so as to track your progress. This stage requires prompt action -- action prompto.
• Accomplishment stage – this stage is the home of success and defeat. Here your harvest depends on one’s level of investment. The Accomplishment stage is a sign post bearing a messages congratulations or try again -- pointing towards how your investment was – weak or great. To get more, you will need to out-think the average man in his thoughts. If one’s attitudes were that of the average persons, chances are you are sure of what to reap here. The law of on sowing and reaping states that, you reap whatever you sow. This law is immutable and would not be change because you’re involved. It’s inviolable since creation and every man who’s success thirsty has to operate within its terms.

The five stages of the dream cycle are applicable to the ambitions of your life. There are many people who have led unsuccessful lives though they claim to have chased after their dreams TM. What they may unfathomed is that the picture they held before them was illusive -- a mirage in the mirror.
To be successful, you need a plan, an aim, and direction. We clipped the wings of success to us when we break our dreams however grandeur they are into achievable pieces of relics. Get to work on the self TM. Now tell me what you’re holding in your hand?
Whatever that dream is --- it’s achievable TM.
