In a study carried out at the prestigious Harvard University, all the students of that university were interviewed.
Among several questions that were asked, one was about the goals in their life: What did they want to achieve in the future? Only 3% of the students wrote what they planned to do with their life. Twenty years later they were all interviewed again. Surprisingly enough, the 3% of students who had written goals were worth more financially than the remaining 97%. And not only that, but they were healthier, happier and more satisfied, and had a better disposition towards life than the rest of the former students interviewed.
So the first step is to define where you are going, what you want, your dreams and everything you long for.
As absurd as it may seem, many people go through life with their heads down and to top it off with their eyes closed, brooding over a life that for them is just an exhausting routine, with the only variant of the weekend parties, and in this way they end up extinguishing the enthusiasm, fire and passion with which any life should be lived. When I ask you for example, what reason do you work for? They answer me: Because I need money to pay my debts, pay the rent, the telephone, the electricity, the water, to eat, etc.
In this world that offers thousands of opportunities, it is incredible that more than 95% of people get up every morning to go to work, to have something to eat and thus be able to continue living, and then get up the next day, go back to their work and continue that vicious cycle. How to make them understand that one can create their own paradise here and now.
The first lesson on your way to success is to discover the meaning of your life. This is, without a doubt, the most important question you should ask yourself. The answer must be clear and accurate because if you don't know what your dreams are, how will you make them come true?
Having a simple list of dreams is not enough. Once you have your list, it is essential to pray for God's blessing for the achievement of those purposes.
Heavenly Father's willingness to guide us lovingly, His willingness to bless our every word, thought, and act, is the ingredient that many motivators, consultants, and speakers deliberately forget to include. If our dreams allow the development and well-being of human beings, have no doubt that one by one they will become reality.
The dreams on that list have to be able to move you into action. It is important that this list is in correlation with your mission in life. In other words, that activity that you would do even if you were not paid to do it. What's more, your mission is that task for which you would even pay to be allowed to do it. It is that task that fills you with joy, that task that draws a satisfied smile when you finish it.
When everything is in order, when you discover your mission in life, when your dreams are well defined, Energy flows in abundance, and all the pieces are fitting into the puzzle of your life.
As Walt Disney used to say: "If you have a dream, and you believe in it,… you run the risk of it coming true!"
All your material, professional, family and spiritual dreams should be visualized as if you had all the money in the world to achieve them, as if you had all the time, as if you had all the support, as if the talent necessary to achieve those dreams was already with you.
Those dreams are the force that motivates all your actions; They are the reason you get up in the morning and go to work; They are the fuel that keeps your walk agile, they give you the energy and discipline to develop the new habits you need to acquire to live the life that God wants you to live. A paradise here and now.
