DREAM: BELIEVE – PLAN – WORK-OUT

Tuesday, November 10, 2009

Everyone has their own dreams that they really wanted to achieve; they maybe a little boy, a teenager, a man or a woman, or even the old ones. However big or small your dreams are, it give different aspiration to you. It inspire your to do things and work harder to reach it. It inspire you to feel happier, bring smiles to your face whenever you think and work for it. Full-filling your dreams change you somehow. Like from being lazy and boring person; once you dream of something, to be someone or wanting something/someone you really admire, it will give you motivation, it will pursue you to work, change your lifestyle or even your personality and you won’t be the lazy and boring person you were before. Another is from being a man that is full of frowns. When you dream of someone you love, you will change for her in order for her to like you. You won’t frown anymore and you’ll always smile whenever you see her. Those are the things that dreams can do to you. It’s like a power that makes you stronger. However you wanted to achieve your dream still put on limitation on yourself. You might become selfish or greedy. Always remember that too much craving for something will give harm to you.

BELIEVE IN YOUR DREAMS: First thing first.

“To see is to believe.”

Well, that’s what others deem about. They won’t accept things unless they saw or encounter it.

“Believe in your dreams…”

These what others say, those who are really hopeful and do trust to themselves, thinking that they are able to full-fill it.

Both talks about believing but differ in thought. One is on the side of reality and another is on imagination or even impossible things. However, the difference of the second quote to the first one is that you are actually accepting something though it is still in your imagination or you’re trying to prove if it will be real or not.

Imagining, thinking, and hoping aren’t enough if you have a dream for yourself or for others. You must also believe in yourself, boost your self-esteem and self-confidence. Believe that you are strong enough to full-fill it, where you can do it, no matter how hard or how risky it is, no matter if it will take you long time. You have to be optimistic; looking in everything positively.

Learn to trust yourself and others, those that help and support you.

For you to believe in yourself and even in your dreams, I guess you must possess or do some that are listed:

a) Be optimistic.

b) Know your strengths and weaknesses. Improve your strengths, kill your weaknesses.

c) Boost up your confidence from:

i. God

ii. Your family

iii. Your friends

iv. Your dream

v. Your inner self

vi. Your dreams

d) Never get affected much of your failure or incoming failure.

e) Read some Successful stories of other people.

f) Avoid those who put you down, they’re vexation of your belief.

g) Don’t be so gullible.

h) Pray.

I know, somehow, those can help you to have a great belief in yourself and also in your dreams. Give time to yourself and think, think, and think twice. Then decide.

PLAN…DESIGN what you wanted…Create your Destiny.


People must have a plan for themselves. They must organize things for better work and outcome. As well as in achieving your dream, you shall create a good and effective plan; not just doing things without thinking the consequences you might get.

Dreaming is like doing a laboratory research. You have to analyze the problem, know the reliable resources, create a hypothesis, plan for the procedure, test your hypothesis, and then conclude. If it yields in what you don’t expect, then go back to the steps, try different plans of achieving it, collect more information. It’s like a cycle. Having a good plan needs time; time for thinking for the best decision.

Here are some tips or maybe some procedure for you to create a better plan for your dream-achieving project; achieving it in good way.

a) Write the things you wanted to happen.

b) Eliminate those that will come up negative.

c) Arrange them from least or lightest thing you can do immediately down to the biggest one.

d) Encircle or mark those you started or you did.

Capitalize the words you don’t want to forget.

e) Write down the closest persons that can help you working out.

f) Ask for expert’s advice in doing such work in the same aspect or field of dream. For example, you’re dreaming to invent something, ask some inventors or scientist or even a teacher you know.

g) Always find time for yourself. Meditate.

h) Pray.

If a man in a war got plans for the security of his fellowmen, so with a man with dreams.

“Better part of maturity is knowing your goals.” – Arnold Gaslow

If you really knew what you wanted, understood all the possible effects and consequences in life, you could think of different ways and ideas to avoid failure.

WORK…put your DREAMS in REALITY

(I wanted to take Spongebob Squarepant, my favorite cartoon character as an example. Well, just wanted to you to know that there are moral lessons learned in watching cartoons. Also, I know this story that I will write is of course related in working out your dreams.)

For Spongebob Squarepants, work is his life. Working in Krusty Krab, making Krabby Patties and serving the costumers happily complete his day. His diligence and loyalty to his work, as a fry cook, makes him feel contented. But you know what, Spongebob before is not a fry cook. And working in Krusty Krab is a big dream for him. He’s story goes like this:

Before, Spongebob wasn’t really a fry cook. He was just a mediocre but has big dreams for himself, and one of his dreams was working in Krusty Krabs. When Mr. Eugene Krabs was looking for a fry cook in his restaurant, Spongebob immediately applied. At first, Mr. K and Squidward mocked at him as they knew that he was there to apply. They used to tell Spongeob that he was just a kid and wasn’t able to do the job. At first, Spongebob’s self-esteem turns into negative and he lost his confidence, but he never loses hope. On the next day, he went again to Krusty Krab, he tried to convince Mr. K. And with his ‘extra-ordinary-convincing-words’ Mr. K accepted him and put him on a test. As Spongebob passed and qualified on Mr. Krab’s test, he still not accepted Spongebob, until the time the Anchovies (the fishes that used to say “beep-beep!” and the jelly spotters, those fishes with Kevin, the sea cucumber). The Anchovies fill the whole Krusty Krab, and they were there to eat. They wanted to eat Krabby Patties as much as they could and left. In order to prove to Mr. K that he really deserved to be a fry cook, together with his spatula, he cooked as fast as he could to feed the Anchovies. Though it was really hard, he used his motivation and determination, he fed the Anchovies and save the whole restaurant. Mr. K realized his mistakes and he officially hired Spongebob.

He worked in Krusty Krab for so long until present. He improved himself and became a good follower. He didn’t want his dream became a big failure of his life. He tried everything he could to achieve and he didn’t want in to be a waste.

Another ‘meaningful’ story of Spongebob was about his driver’s license. He wasn’t a good student driver for he failed to pass all that examination under the teachings of Mrs. Puff. However, failure didn’t stop him of dreaming, believing and trying. But one thing wasn’t good about his consistency of failure, he didn’t try to plan to past. He couldn’t overcome his fear in the wheels and tension as he got in the car. That’s why he kept on failing.

With those stories of Spongebob, he never ever say die. He worked hard just to achieve his dreams. He believes in himself, though he fails. Failure isn’t a big thing to stop him from dreaming and believing, instead, he uses those not to stop and do everything to make him say “YES!!! I DID IT!” the sound of success.

“I determined never to stop until I had come to the end achieved my purpose” – David Livingstone

Every wan man’s dreams play a significant role in their lives. It’s like a choice that he’s dealing with; improving every stage as they have reached it.

Having a biggest dream or even a craziest dream you can ever think of isn’t bad for it gives you inspiration and makes your life more meaningful. If you’re thinking that dreaming is only for dumb ones or for the kids, hoping for impossible, then maybe your life is revolving around a meaningless world, you’re going on the path of misery, where you don’t understand the things around you.
