Ordinary to Extraordinary Tip: Keep Your Dreams in Front of You
Midtown, Manhattan. I use pictures like this to remind me of my dreams
If you aren’t good at dreaming or you want to experience how exciting life is when you keep your dreams in front of you, check out these ideas:
1) Make a dream board (put pictures or write goals on something) and put it where you can see it every day-dashboard of car, mirror in bathroom, inside your daily planner, background on your computer. If you feel kind of silly doing this, you are probably on the right track.
2) Buy a book, DVD, or CD series in the self-improvement section at Amazon/Barnes & Noble that focuses on goal setting or achieving your dreams. *Email me if you want some specific books or cd/dvd programs that I have found extremely powerful.
3) Set an hour appointment next week with yourself to grab a cup of coffee and a notebook. Spend the time thinking and writing about your real dreams and things you want to happen someday. Invest in an hour in yourself, it will pay you back 10-fold.
4) Contact a hero of yours (via email, phone, tweet, ect) and ask them a simple question or two that could potentially open the door to a mentorship relationship. *Email me if you want specific directions for contacting well known people and getting a response (it’s not at hard as you might think).
5) Ask a good friend about their dreams (“friend, this may be a weird question, but what is something you are dying to do someday”). It will inspire you to hear other people’s dreams and the two of you will have a great time talking about things you rarely share with others.
