Can making dreams come true be as easy as this? Is it possible to let go of our doubts? Can it be possible? Is it possible to do it so magically so that it could be as easy as brushing our teeth? This excerpt from the book named ONE by Masami Sato would show us how it can be done in a step-by-step manner, so that one can start walking towards one's dreams today itself. We all have dreams. But not all of us have the faith in ourselves, that we can have and live those dreams in our lifetime. Actually, the secret to have such certainty is simple. And the reason why we doubt it so much is also straightforward. We can now start by asking ourselves the first question.. Why do we not do the things we want to do? Often, our thoughts stop our actions. Sometimes the more we think about it, the less we become committed to accomplish what we initially wanted to do. Because the more we think about it, we come up with more and more reasons for not doing it. Then is it possible that one can be certain that one will definitely accomplish what one wants to do in his life? Yes, definitely! For a start, let us look at the power of habits.. If we have an appointment for a meeting tomorrow night, we might not spend too much time worrying whether we can reach there or not. We would not be bothered about the likelihood of having a car accident and not being present at the appointment. In the same way when we walk to the bathroom, we may not worry if the toilet would be broken down. We have so much more certainty about these types of 'normal' actions we take every day. They're habits. However, we are doubtful about our dreams Most interestingly, there are plenty of things we are not equally sure about. Particularly the things that we really want to in life - our Dreams! So what's the secret for the certainty that we will achieve our dreams? First: Decide to make it a daily habit! We can start being more certain about our actions to meet our desires-the type of desires that really nourishes our life. For example, if a person's dream is to make his fair share of contributions to the society, and giving is a big yearning in his life, there is no need to doubt the possibility of being able to make that contribution. Al that is necessary is to make it a daily habit. Second: Make it as important (and as easy) as brushing our teeth Making a dream come true can be just like cleaning the teeth. It gives a very uncomfortable feeling if teeth are not brushed for a long time, isn't it? Nobody spends hours thinking which brand of toothpaste to use or postpone brushing till there is some specific need to show clean teeth. We feel ill at ease with teeth that are not clean. So we just clean them. It is as simple as that. Coming back to our example, if giving is so important to us, we have to ask ourselves certain questions: What if giving is in fact of as much importance as brushing our teeth? What if it is making us feel good? What if it is helping to maintain our health? No matter whether we have a lot or very little just now, we can definitely start giving it and sharing it with others today. No matter how seemingly unbelievable it is to fulfil our dreams, we can start proceeding towards them today. We should view it as something crucial, a priority issue that we should practice every day! Then we would feel unhappy if we don't do it. Just like brushing our teeth. and Third: Give first, then we will get back When we give first before we actually fully have what we really want - what we dream of - we send a very powerful message to ourselves that says, "there is enough, and more will come". It allows us to experience the joy today - the joy of giving. If you want to be rich, be generous. And you'll be blessed with abundance. If you want to be superbly intelligent, don't be afraid to teach others. And you'll know more. If you want to give, just give selflessly. Do not attach any expectation of return. Just let go. And joy will automatically be rewarded to you. The simple joy of giving. Do not be scared of sharing and giving what you have, for it will not thwart your plans of achieving your purpose, whatever it may be. It may only help you to fulfil your dreams faster. And your journey there will be one of total contentment. But are not habits smaller, in comparison with our BIG dreams? Just do it, don't be concerned about the 'scale' Because anything is possible in life. We might start things in a small way. And these small things will always take us to another action, and another. Having certainty in our small actions and executing them one by one always takes us forward. But if we thought it was 'impossible' to do something now because it just seemed 'too big', it will never happen. The power to achieve one's dreams has always been there, and will always be there. Those who have managed wonders, sensations, and real joy, already know this. They go on using it. Dreams and marvels are not accidents. We make them through our options. So, would you probably start going towards your dreams today? Contents are excerpted with minor modification from ONE, a book written by Masami Sato.
