I have a dream... but I need a action... |
Mahatma Gandhi saw the dream of Independent country with peaceful and powerful society. And off course he was the firm believer of dreams and power of dreaming. He had written “A man, whilst he is dreaming, believes in his dream; he is undeceived only when he is awakened from his slumber.”
You all know the dream seen by Martin Luther King in 1963. Martin Luther King had a dream of country which is free from race and region. He says in his famous speech “I have a dream that my four children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character.”
India is independent country and one of the economic power and Martin Luther Kings’ dream was manifested a year later, when President Lyndon Johnson signed the Civil Rights Act, which (also) guaranteed blacks the right to vote.
And you know Tata group and dream of Jamsethji Tata. His dream about building the nation with Industrial revolution with human development and also building the largest power utility company and so on…
There are people who dreamt and also fulfilled their dream with passion, innovation and out of the box thinking.
We all have a dream. Or more accurately, we all had a dream. Dream of becoming committed doctor, successful industrialist innovative scientist and great engineer. We all dreamt of making a difference.
But the difference is we left our dreams in between and curse the luck… and say… “Oh bad luck...”
Think for a moment, how the world would be if all people had chosen not to strive for their dreams and make a difference. People like Martin Luther King, Mahatma Gandhi and even Sachin Tendulkar (http://vinodtbidwaik.blogspot.in/search/label/Dream).
However these all are great people. You may feel somewhat daunted and would ask “Can I really make a difference? But what sacrifice I can do to achieve the dream?”
It is easier to live a compromised, mediocre life, hoping that someone else makes a difference, but the fact is we all want to be successful and want our dreams. The imperative things are to believe on our dream and take certain actions.
First action is challenge the status quo. We like status quo because we are comfortable with that. I mean psychological status quo. Same like elephant story. Elephant even could not think to break the chain tied to his legs.
Yes. It is time to confront our upbringing, conditioning and circumstances.
You can fulfill your dream by with following simple tips.
- Challenge the status quo,
- Dream big,
- Believe on your dream and believe on yourself that you are capable to fulfill your dream,
- Visualize that you are close to the dream,
- Convert your dream into SMART objectives,
- Take actions…
- Keep a log of your actions,
- Work Hard and also work smart…
- Learn from mistakes done in actions and move on…
That day is not long when you will actually see what you dreamt… Best luck…J
