The key to achieving your dreams is to use your imagination and a bit of logic to get there. It’s easy to get caught up in the practical, logical things we think we need to do to achieve our goals. As Albert Einstein famously said, “logic will get you from A to B, but imagination will take you everywhere.”
What if we let our imaginations run wild? Consider all the possibilities that are available to us. What if we allow ourselves to dream of everything we could do and be?
Use your imagination to see yourself as successful.
No matter what your dream may be, the key is to be able to see yourself doing it and to believe that it is possible. It’s essential to have a vision for yourself and to put that dream down on paper so that you can start working towards it to make it a reality. You must be able to see yourself doing that thing, whatever that is for you, and then you must be willing to drag yourself to that place.
Use that little bit of logic to achieve your dreams.
But it’s not just about dreaming – there also needs to be a touch of reality in your plans. You need to be willing to work and take the necessary steps to get there.
As you work towards your goals, keep in mind the value you bring to the table. Why does your business matter? Or if you are a consultant or a coach, why do you matter? What value does your brand offer others? Think about it, and write it down in 1 or 2 sentences. Write down a sentence describing why your business exists and what value it brings at the highest level. By understanding your “why” and clearly and effectively articulating it, you can better transfer the value of what you have to offer to your audience.
Time to use your imagination to set your vision.
So, what can you do? What are you capable of accomplishing next year? And what are you going to put in place for next year that will catapult you into a new stratosphere? Put that dream down on paper and think about how you will get there. Once you start seeing it as possible, you have to start thinking about what you must do to get yourself from where you are to where you want to be.
Your imagination can ignite your dreams; the logic is how you get there.
Be enthusiastic about what you do. If you can’t get excited about it, neither can your audience. The things you think about and can put down on paper are your logic, the here and now, and the practical. It doesn’t matter what’s going on outside; what are you doing inside to make things matter to you? Think about what it looks like and how it will feel when you reach your goal.
So let your imagination take the lead and see where it takes you in 2023. With a clear vision and a willingness to put in the work, you can turn your dreams into a reality.
