If you want to follow your dream you will have to say NO to all other alternatives!
Here is what you will have to do in order to achieve the unachievable!
Our brains are like balloons full of bees where hundreds of controversial impulses force us into different directions. We never want to do one and the same thing.
We always want to deal with dozens of things at the same time. We want everything. We want to train in the gym, we want to learn Spanish and finally to have some time to spend with friends. Our wishes are countless and they are the selfish ones who define which direction our life should go. However, what usually happens is that we stay on a spot without moving anywhere and cannot take off.
This is the way most people live their lives.
We constantly feel the conflict between us and our wishes.
We never have enough time to fulfil what we have on the list and what happens with us is much stronger than our ability to cope with it ourselves.
However, let us correct that!
The curse of “The Great Idea”.
Ok, can you imagine the following: 20 years ago, you are a genius and you have the ideas to create Google or Amazon or some other giant. You have created 3 of the best business ideas for the past few decades and if you had founded some of them you would be now a billionaire.
Yet, what if you had to start the three businesses at the same time? Yes, you would fail certainly. Having big ideas is never enough. Many people have such. The problem is that big ideas neutralize each other.
This is why it is very common to see smart people behaving like idiots who achieve nothing. On the other hand there are others with smaller amount of bees in their heads and they keep progressing independently. With that said, we can make a conclusion that the more directions we focus on the smaller chance of success we have.
Ok, but how could we achieve the unachievable?
Just imagine that you have a crazy idea about you.
Let us say you want to write a book or you want to land on Mars. If you are 100% sure that you must do it, then what? What would you do? You would have put everything behind and would have started chasing the idea, would not you? You would have become a gigantic bee in your own head that goes one direction only!
In this case you would be moving forward much faster:
How to handle all these bees in your head?
Unfortunately hitting few different roads at the same time is a guarantee for a fail. If you force all your bees go in one direction this means success.
That is why you should try the following:
1) You should pick a big goal. If your ambitions are small then they will easily be beaten by another bigger bee. We all should stick to big goals and ideas and it is worth it to ignore all smaller ones in the name of success.
2) You should limit your list up to three different parts of your life that you would want to make better. For instance: job, family, hobby. For every one of these three you should pick one goal and you should follow it.
3) Turn it off. All that is not a main priority at the moment could be done later.
4) You should stay away from all these little wishes. They will make you feel comfortable but they are what ruins your dream. Just ignore them.
Put your bees in order. You may not create the next Google or land on Mars but you could become an athlete person and successful leader. Physically and mentally strong. Here are two bees combined and going into one direction. Much powerful!
