I keep on thinking that someday my dreams will come true but of course it is with action. Plus another great factor is by praying to God that he will grant the things I want the most in life.

Great post by the way.

Your absolutely right on the every day bit. Even 10 minutes will make a huge difference if you cut out all distractions and really dedicate those full 10 minutes to the realities you want to make. At that point those 10 minutes become a meditation, even a mantra. What dream are you moving towards?

Ryan – yes and yes. Things -do- seem to fall into place when you get into the habit to moving forward little by little. I think it's because you can't predict exactly how things will turn out, and it's only by acting that you discover opportunity.

“For me, it has always come down to an action list and continual reality checks to track my progress.” Love this. Especially the part about reality checks. I'm like … a born procrastinator, and reality checks are what actually get me to start working.

Yes, exactly! Love the analogy :) Much nicer than the roadkill one I came up with. Of course, I had to read your comment right as I'm starving. Irony, huh?

That's very true. My trap is definitely procrastination … been working on that a lot lately.

That's a good point, Karlil. It's almost paradoxical – if you don't take the little steps every day, you'll never reach your destination … but if you use each little step as an excuse not to ever take a big step, you'll never get there either.

Jeffrey,

I like your style. Great blog and post.

To become that person, you must be that person. If you want to become a powerful millionaire entrepreneur, you must start being that person now. That person would not put off things until tomorrow, they wouldn't be afraid of making financial investments, they wouldn't hesitate, they wouldn't fear failure.

In my own journey it's been one act of faith after another. The more acts of faith, or steps as you say, the more the universe makes things happen for you. It's all dependent on taking steps in the direction of your goal. Step backwards and you're not believing in yourself. Step to the side and you're not exactly sure what you want. But stepping forward says, 'I clearly want this, and I'm getting it!'

And you certainly will.

I think we need to identify those things that will motivate us to always be pushing through until we reach our goal. The reality is that there are going to be those good days and not so good days when it comes to making progress toward our goals. We just have to always make sure that we are really pushing forward and not deceive ourselves into thinking there is nothing we can do. For me, it has always come down to an action list and continual reality checks to track my progress.

Jeffrey, that is such a profound truth. Planning, dreaming without taking small, simple steps is like having a recipe and not cooking it. You are still hungry (and even more) from looking at a picture, but only doing something to get closer to it, will still your hunger for it.
