Wise Words From A Mad Man

I thought I needed a catchy title, I’m not really a “mad man”, well I don’t think I am. I don’t know why my African Princess is nodding her head saying who am I trying to kid, I’m as mad as they come.

I honestly feel that each and every single one of us, has the ability to be who ever we want to be and achieve whatever the hell it is that we want out of life. The only person that can prevent us from achieving what we want is ourselves. I have in the past been a prime example of someone that has held themselves back, due to negative thoughts, lack of will power and not having a proper dream to aim for.

I suppose we all have to begin with the dream, of what it is we actually want out of life. Some people have smaller and bigger dreams and aspirations than others. Some want to become actors, singers, doctors, write a book, climb Mount Everest or run there own business. Or further down the scale but no less important to the individual concerned, they want to finally meet someone to love, get that promotion at work or finally lose that 5 stones of body fat.

Whatever it is you want out of life, you can make it happen. No matter how big or small that dream of yours is. But unfortunately to make dreams come true you have to put a considerable amount of the time, effort and energy into achieving what ever it is you want too.

I haven’t got a magic wand or formula to give to you to make those dreams come true. Know one can make it happen for you, apart from you. I know from personal experience how easy it is to put something off till tomorrow and tomorrow never arrives.

I have a friend that has read about a thousand self help/improvement books over the past 10 years in order to become more successful in life. So that he can make his dreams come true. I personally think that he likes reading about it, more so than actually moving his lazy ass and doing something proactive to get to wherever the hell it is he wants to be. He cusses his job and the life he lives virtually every single day. I wish I could change things for him, but only he can do that.

As we all know, abracadabra and you have 3 wishes doesn’t work in real life. That would make things too easy. The fun and excitement of achieving what you want out of life is all about the hard work, effort, the blood, sweat and tears that you have to go through to get to your final destination. Where would the sense of achievement be if we were handed everything on a plate.

For once in my life I have managed to stay focussed on what I’m trying to achieve with my personal business aspirations and things are starting to take shape. Too often in the past I would be easily side tracked, change my plans or lose interest in what I was doing and end up with a lot of wasted time for my efforts.

There is nothing wrong with dreaming the dream, but why not do something about making that dream come true. You can if you really want too.
