7 Simple Steps to Achieve Your Dreams


I want to share with you:

seven simple steps to achieve any dream that you desire.

These are the same seven steps I used to achieve the biggest dream of my life, qualifying for and running in the Boston Marathon.

While reading please keep in mind I have used these same steps time and time again to attain goals, ranging from record sales, becoming unaccomplished speaker via Toastmasters or transforming myself from a steak lover to a strict vegetarian.

1. SET GOALS (Tetapkan Cita-cita Anda, & Mimpi-mimpi Anda)

One of the key steps in achieving your dream is to set goals on a consistent basis. You need to create goals both for the long term and the short term, and put them in writing! Studies have shown that when you write down a goal the chances of achieving it are a thousand times greater. Here are some goal setting strategies that have helped me along my journey to achieving my dreams:
1.  Goals must be specific, measurable, attainable and realistic.
2.   Goals must have a time limit.
3.  Goals must be positive, personal, and in the present tense.
4.   Rewrite, review and visualize the achievement of your goals on a daily basis. "It is a psychological law that whatever we wish toa ccomplish we must impress on the subjective or subconscious mind." - Orison Swett Marden

2. VISUALIZE (lakukan visualisasi mimpi Anda)

Make a habit of visualizing your dream on a daily basis. Training for my twelfth marathon, I visualized obtaining a sub 3:10 qualify time required to run in the Boston Marathon. I saw each mile marker along the 26.2 mile course with the time I needed. I pictured myself, at the end of that race, celebrating with my wife and calling my coach to tell him the good news that I qualified for Boston ! These visualization techniques worked extremely well for me and I guarantee they will work for you! "Without a vision people perish (Binasa)."

3. BE PERSISTENT (Gigih lah dengan apa yg Anda perjuangkan)

Now that you have your goals written down and you are doing your daily visualization exercises you need to have persistence! It took me twelve years and twelve marathons to achieve my dream. There were many times I wanted to give up, yet I never wavered in my goals or my ultimate dream. Never, never, never give up!

4. HAVE FAITH (Mempunyai keyakinan.... Yakinlah)

I have a favorite quote that says "The size of your success is determined by the size of your belief". I've learned, along several of my own journeys, the importance of having an uncompromising faith in myself which has been a critical component in accomplishing my goals. "Whatever your mind can conceive and believe, it can achieve." -Napoleon Hill

5. EXHIBIT DISCIPLINE (Tunjukkanlah kedisiplinan Anda)

Discipline is a key component required to achieve your goals and dreams. When working toward your dream think of discipline as having the ability to flick the little doubting man off your shoulder who says "can you really do this?" You need to have the "I can do it!" attitude. Holding the vision or experience that inspired you in the forefront of your mind will help you stay disciplined. Remember - self doubt destroys! "With every disciplined effort there is a multiple reward." -Jim Rohn

6. FIND a MENTOR or COACH  (Dapatkan Mentor Atau Coach Untuk Membantu Anda)

The ability to seek out and learn from others, specifically those who have already accomplished similar goals and dreams, is an invaluable resource for your success. In my case, I hired
a former Olympic marathon runner, turned coach to support and inspire me. With his help I achieved a dream that had escaped me during the twelve long years I tried to do it alone!

7. HAVE GRATITUDE (Berterimakasih lah, Bersyukurlah)

One of the most important qualities one can have on one's journey to obtaining a dream is "an attitude of gratitude". Every morning I make a habit of spending a minimum of five minutes reflecting on the many things I am truly grateful for in my life. When you are grateful for life's gifts, you are truly rich.
