We have all heard the adage, “If wishes were horses beggars would ride”.

Too often, we have lofty dreams which we assume will only occur when we get our ‘big break. For example, we say, “When I get this dream job, I will be able to afford this or that”, or “when I win the lottery, I’ll be able to…” But eventually, our dreams die on the vine of procrastination, because we have transferred the power to shape our lives to some force outside of ourselves and our control.

The key to success lies in our willingness to start with what we have and move forward. Because the dream will only begin to materialise when it is put into action.

 

Throughout the day, we invite you to revisit this quote. Below are a few questions you may wish to ask yourself, and those who journal may find them especially useful:

• What are the goals I have that I hope will come true?
• What effort have I made, or am I making, to realise these goals?
• Am I procrastinating as an excuse to not put in the work to achieve my goals?

 

 

Best wishes and have a great day!
