Can't making dreams come true be just as easy? Can't we free ourselves of our doubts? Is it not possible? How can we do it in a way so that it looks as easy as brushing our teeth? This is an excerpt form the book named ONE by Masami Sato and it shows how it can be done step-by-step, getting one ready to start walking towards one's dreams today. All of us have dreams. But all of us do not have faith in ourselves so that we can have those dreams and live them in our lifetime. In fact, the secret to have such assuredness is simple. And the reason why we hesitate so much is also straightforward. Let's begin with the first question that we can ask ourselves Why do we not do the things we want to do? Our thoughts usually stop us from acting. Sometimes the more we think about something, the less we become committed to achieve what we set out to do in the first place. Because the more we think about it, we tend to come up with more and more reasons for not doing it. Is it then possible to be sure that we will definitely accomplish what we want to do in our life? Sure, absolutely! To start with, 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 doubt 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 is the secret for the assurance that we will realize our dreams? First of all: Just make it a daily habit! We can get started by being more confident about our acts meant to meet our desires - the type of dreams that actually fosters our life. So, for example, if your dream is to give and contribute to society and giving is a key desire in your life, there is no reason to doubt that it's possible for you to contribute to others. It can just become one of your daily habits. Second: Make it as important (and as easy) as brushing our teeth Achieving our dreams can be just like brushing our teeth. It wouldn't feel good if we didn't brush our teeth for a long time, would it? We wouldn't spend hours thinking of which toothpaste to use or delay the good feeling of having clean teeth for other 'priorities'. We feel uncomfortable if our teeth are not clean. So we just clean them! Back to our example, if giving is our utmost desire, then we need to ask ourselves these questions: What if giving actually was as important as brushing our teeth? What if it makes us feel good? And what if it kept our life healthy? 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 are ready to give first before we have even got what we yearn for - what we are dreaming of - we are sending a strong message to ourselves which says, 'there is enough, and more will come.' It lets us know the joy today - the joy of sharing. 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. So do not be afraid to share and give what you have, for it will not hinder you from achieving your purpose, whatever it is. It will only make you achieve your dreams quicker. And your journey there will be full of joy. But are not habits smaller, in comparison with our BIG dreams? Just do it, don't be concerned about the 'scale' Anything can happen in life. Things may develop in a small way. And these small things might take us to another action, and that will connect to another. The sureness we feel about our actions, and managing them one by one, keeps on taking us forward. But if we think that it is not possible to do something now, just because it is a little formidable, it simply will not happen. The secret of achieving one's dreams has always been there, and it will always be there. Those who are winners, who have inspired others, and have known perfect joy, have realized this. They are continuously using it. Visions and miracles do not happen accidentally. We choose to create them. So, would you probably start going towards your dreams today?
