Translating Dreams To Reality

Welcome Back!!

Translating dreams to reality is not a stroll in a beautifully designed park. It resembles a tough marathon where everybody is ready to beat you.

Your strategy to win this marathon should be based on the four - Ds :

  • Discover
  • Dream
  • Design
  • Deliver

We will go through these 4 - Ds together:

1. Discover:

  • Firstly, know your strengths and weaknesses with some external help from your family, friends and mentors.
  • Now, take some time and think about these things.
  • Reinforce your strengths and try to convert your weaknesses to strengths.
  • Develop a feeling of Self-efficacy. Self-efficacy is a feeling that you are capable of successfully finishing any given task.

2. Dream:

  • Now, dream on the basis of your strengths and your ability to find, catch and use opportunities.
  • A dream is a desire, even when it could be a mere fantasy. Try to make your strength of desire stronger.
  • If possible, try to dream on the basis of self-efficacy too.

3. Design:

  • This is a crucial step of designing a workable, ambitious, optimistic action plan.
  • Make a list of resources that you need.
  • Collect those resources.
  • Learn how to utilise those resources properly.
  • Make a plan on how to acquire relevant skills, knowledge, and polish your talents.

4. Deliver:

  • The final step is to Deliver your action plan.
  • Forge ahead with self-confidence, self-leadership, self-efficacy and intrinsic motivation.
  • Deliver your action plan with passion, skill, knowledge, experience, courage, commitment and determination. Do not rest till the goal is reached.

Thought of the day:

"The difference between a successful person and others is not a lack of strength, not a lack of knowledge, but rather a lack in will"
             - Vince Lombardi

Failing Forward!

Welcome Back! All of us fail. As we travel on our path to success, we all hit potholes, take wrong turns, or forget to check the radiator. So the real issue is not whether you’re going to fail. It is about whether you’re going to fail successfully (gaining experience and profiting from failure) or allow failure to send you in a permanent detour. “The difference between greatness and mediocrity is often how an individual views his/her own mistakes.“ If you want to continue on the success journey, you need to learn to fail forward! Some people are often so afraid of failure and rejection, that they spend their whole lives avoiding risks or decisions that could lead to failure. They don’t realize that s uccess is based on their ability to fail and continue trying. When you have the right attitude, failure is not fatal. In fact, it is a springboard to success. Successful people instead of dwelling on the negative consequences of failure, think of what might have been and how things have...

Be Proactive!

Welcome Back! George Bernard Shaw classified people in 3 different categories: Those who make things happen Those who observe what happens Those who wondered what happened We are in a century where you cannot afford to observe and wonder. You must make things happen. Those who make things happen are called "proactive". They do not react to whatever is happening around. They are not reactive , they are proactive - they make things happen. When you react, you permit others to react to influence your decisions. When you are proactive, you depend on your own skills, knowledge, talent and experience. In the absence of these resources, you cannot be proactive.

A friend is an answer to your needs. Consciously create a network of friends. Give and take help. Be innovative and creative. Do things differently. P...

The Magnetic Force of Self-Image!

Welcome Back! How you see yourself in your own eyes determines what you get out of life. Self-image is your own conception of yourself. It is the mental and emotional picture you hold in your own consciousness of who you are and what you represent. Self-image determines your capacity to give, receive and interact with life, experiences and possibilities that come before you. Your self-image is important because it is the starting point of your life experiences. The image you hold of yourself is like a precious vase into which all your life experiences are poured and blended. If your self-image is a small, limited conception of yourself, based on ignorance, fear, doubt and insecurity, then all your experiences will be filtered through these same negative emotions. While, if your self-image is based in knowledge, love, courage, respect, faith and confidence, your life experiences will be filtered through these same positive emotions. Your self-image is like a magnet, attracting or repell...
