Chasing our dreams has always been a pretty awesome thing to do. But today, more than
ever, we’re bombarded with messages about how we should all be doing it. And
more, delivered all sorts of promises about how to do it and live your dream
life. There’s only one catch. (Isn’t there always?) Sometimes there’s a gap between ‘where you are and where you want to be’
and sometimes that gap is a chasm and with good reason. When we are calculating our
visions for the future, it’s easy to give that gap too much meaning. We shoot
ourselves in the foot by normalizing the space between us and our goals. But
what if you could see beyond the gap, and begin normalizing the idea of closing
that gap effortlessly?
So here are 5 ways in which we can close our gaps:-
1. Don't set goals within the
constraints of current reality
We are guilty of
setting goals that we feel are achievable within our current lifestyle.
However, if you want to achieve big then you need to set big goals. Work
backward from your big goal and detail the main steps you need to take to
achieve it. Factor in the time that each step will take as well.
2. Focus on just one thing
The mistake a lot
of people make when starting a business is to appeal to everyone in the hope
that this will give them the best chance of success. More often than not this
results in the exact opposite. This is because you get filed in people’s mental
junk drawer. When people meet you online or face-to-face they try to simplify
what you’re about so they can file you in their mind.
3. Check it's scalable
So you think you
have a great dream and now you want to scale it. Before you do, make sure you
have something worth scaling. Think about it like this: if you have a bucket
with holes that you scale you end up with a bigger bucket with more holes.
4. Say 'no' more than
'yes'
Every time you say ‘yes’ to something, you’re saying ‘no’ to
something else. It’s hard to decline invitations or requests for our time. We
feel it’s a negative response. But ‘yes’ and ‘no’ aren’t right or wrong.
They’re directional they steer you in the direction that will help you navigate
to the right places. If you’re clear on your dreams then you know which
direction to take.
Learn to start protecting the gaps you have in your plan. We
need breathing space and gaps in your calendar allow you to do just that. The
next time someone asks you to go for coffee, don’t automatically say ‘yes’ if you
see a space in your plan. Your default position should always be ‘no’ rather
than ‘yes’.
5. Be comfortable
with failure
Any step you take
towards your goal is progress and will propel you forward. Never see the
actions you take as a failure. There is always something to learn and which you
can use to course correct. If you look back at everything you have achieved in
life so far, it has lead to who you are today. Don’t be afraid to experiment.
Failure leads to success. So if we take the example of Ratan Tata who had a dream of a one
lakh rupee car and through ‘Nano’ he turned his dream into reality.
Dreams are the gap between where you are and where you will
be. “Will I?” is never the question. Great dreams of great dreamers will always
be fulfilled. Whatever the mind of a person believes it can be achieved. God
never gives you an idea without the power to achieve it. For a dreamer, the
major question should be “By when will I?”
“We are here to be We”
