The Dream - Your Motivating Force -
Your Purpose, Your Mission, Nothing works without your Magnificent Obsession!
That which moves you inexorably towards it's attainment. Your life purpose, a worthwhile mission that you have a real need to fulfill, where just the pursuit of it demands you be at your best self. You rise to the occasion, it gets you up early, it keeps you up late, all the moments inbetween a whirlwind of action and excitement. You are living your dream, happily and joyfully making life pay your price.
I try to communicate in my own very rough way. Please know that I have only the best intentions in mind. I am after all, just another traveler on the journey through life. I have developed a number of habits which empower me to get things done. I believe that creating powerful habits is the key to a balanced, fulfilled life. I crowd out the poor choices by consistently acting and moving towards my dream. That is not to say that I have perfected a strategy for staying on track yet, but, that I get back on track ASAP when I stray.
The Dream - Nothing works without it! The Dream, that thing, which by pursuing and attaining it, all you want, all you become, takes place! And it will be different for everyone! As Napoleon Hill so aptly put it, Your Own Magnificent Obsession!
I have one! And you must have one also, one that moves you to action. It makes it easier to do than not to do! You must decide on a dream, a course of action, and that you will not stop until you have attained whatever you want. This is what keeps me going when I don't feel like it! Because what I feel like at any given moment, has no relevance to what I have commited to being, having, and doing in my life.
I am big on building relationships. I enjoy interaction with people. I feed off people's enthusiasm and their passion. I am not into money, power, or toys. I certainly like and need money just like most other people, but it is not the deciding factor when I choose a course of action. I did choose a course that will provide abundant finances for all I want to do, through the building of my relationships. See! One Focus to achieve what I want! Have I reached that point yet? No. It is a work in progress, and it will always be that way.
I enjoy my journey and take my satisfaction along the road, while I will also enjoy the destination; although when I arrive I will have already picked another further destination to journey toward. I started small, and worked my way up to larger goals, and as I succeeded, each time, I developed more confidence in my ability to make things happen. A truly great trait to develop and have as a habit.
What is your dream? You don't have to tell me. Put it out there. Look at it. Imagine what it would be like. Qualify it! Quantify it! What (price) would it take to get it? Are you willing to pay that price? What is preventing you from having it? Are you willing to change?, to leave your comfort zone? Have you the courage to pursue your dream? If not, then develop it (courage). Another good habit to cultivate. Go for it!
Do it now, Get Started!

Emptiness is a symptom that you are not living creatively. You either have no goal that is important enough to you, or you are not using your talents and efforts to strive toward an important goal. --- Maxwell Maltz
