Do You Have a Dream?

I have some very important questions I wish to ask you. DO YOU
HAVE A DREAM? Is this Dream connected with somehow improving
your personal situation or gaining something in your life?

Maybe you just have a feeling lurking around in your head that
something is missing and someday you will find it. Maybe you
have not articulated these feelings to the point where anything
concrete has formed and you really don’t know what it is that
is bothering you. If this is the case my friend you need a
Dream to set you on the path to some type of realization and
meaning.

Nothing is ever accomplished without a Dream concerning finding
something we do not yet possess. I don’t care what it is or
what you are looking for. Without a Dream to follow, you will
never get beyond the point where you are right now.

Some people say that Dreams are worthless and not practical so
don’t waste your time. Well most good things in our modern life
came about because someone had a Dream and worked at it until it
became a reality. The automobile, the telephone, electricity,
airplanes, computers and almost everything else we now think we
cannot do without. These things did not happen due to luck or
anything else but a person’s dream and the work to make it a
reality.

Every one of us wants something. We want to be a better person;
a more popular person; a thinner person; a better job, wealth
and all that can bring, or maybe something simple like a new
house or new car. It does not matter what it is but you must
really want it, dream about it and take the action necessary to
achieve it. Dreams are for everyone at any age, social standing,
economic standing, race or creed. Dreams are for everyone with
imagination enough to visualize the object of that dream.

Daydreaming or wishful thinking just don’t cut it. Daydreaming
or wishful thinking, while being fun, are not productive except
for the entertainment value you may realize from pleasant
speculation. A real Dream can bring pleasure that’s for sure,
however, achieving that Dream involves a lot more than just
thinking about it.

To be meaningful the Dream must be achievable and over a
reasonable length of time. If is not attainable it is then
just wishful thinking and a sure way to become frustrated
and more dissatisfied than you are right now.

So how does one build a Dream? Well, first of all you must
examine where you are in life and what it is about your
situation that does not please you. What is it you need to
achieve to make your life better or more fulfilling? Now
if it is a whole bunch of material things what you are really
talking about is the money needed to obtain those things and
unless you are an heir to a very rich relative you are pretty
much between the rock and the hard place. It is one thing to
dream about wealth and another thing to achieve it.

OK, let’s say for arguments sake that personal wealth is your
Dream. How high are you setting your sights? What does personal
wealth mean to you? How much is enough? What are you willing
to do to gain that personal wealth? How hard are you willing
to work to attain that wealth? Do you need help from others?

How can you get that help? How much actual time do you have
available to you to work for your Dream?

Do you have the basic finances needed to support your activities
in pursuing the Dream? Lots and lots of questions to be answered
right? Yes, and these questions and the answers you develop will
help you set the parameters of your Dream.

So, how does one become wealthy in today’s economic environment?
Well you can stop what you are doing for a living, go back to
school and become a Doctor, Dentist or Lawyer and in five or
ten years achieve some type of personal wealth. Not practical
you say? Well, you are correct in that my friend. What you
need to do then is invent or develop some fantastic product
or service which everyone needs, build it yourself or find a
manufacturer, sell the product or service and make your
millions. Not practical you say? Well again your are correct.

I can go on and on like this forever and the answers would be
the same. Not practical. So what can we do to fulfill the Dream
of wealth? If you watch television I am sure you have seen those
paid commercials involving this or that system developed by
individuals designed to become wealthy through real estate
investments and the like. Hey, they are great and are just fine
for those of us who can raise the necessary money to work the
system. They are not for everyone that is for sure. What we
need to find is a money generating system we can afford and
work on in the hours available to us without quitting our job
or ignoring our families.

The Internet is perfect for us in this regard. Almost everyone
can get and learn to use a computer and attain a skill level
enabling them to work or participate in an online business.

Can you become wealthy working an online business? You bet your
life you can. Is it easy? No it is not, but it has been and is
being done as we talk. Can you earn a million dollars in a year?
I doubt it but you can earn $100,000 in a year with the proper
program and lots of help and hard work. Being realistic, we all
know that just wanting to be a millionaire is a pipe dream
unless we can visualize how to go about it. Let’s lower our
sights a bit and say we wish to become financially independent.
Just what does that mean to you? What is financial independence?
What specific conditions should exist to make you financially
independent?

Think about that for a bit.

Financial independence occurs when a person has gained the
resources to actually afford to do the things they wish without
dependence on outside sources or employment to achieve their
goals and aspirations, whatever they may be. I did not identify
what those aspirations may be. That is a personal thing and up
to each individual to identify and pursue. This is where the
Dream comes in. What is it you really wish to accomplish? When
you can identify the specific content of your Dream you can
then think about finding ways to achieve it.

It does not matter whether or not the Dream is large or small,
what really matters is that you have it. Then you must realize
that wishing does not make Dreams come true; hard work and time
makes Dreams come true. If you are willing to Dream and be
dedicated to doing the things you must to make the dream come
true, you will succeed.

As mentioned previously, an online business is a viable way to
gain financial independence. Solidify your Dream and seriously
look into the rewards to be gained through participating in or
running your own online business today. Take the time to search
and research, ask questions, learn what it takes and go to it.
You can succeed if you are patient and willing to work as hard
as necessary to realize your Dream.
