Your Dreams Are A Complete Waste Of Time.

That’s right, I said it. STOP DREAMING. It’s a complete waste of your time. Stop dreaming of a better life. Stop dreaming of you having more more money or better health. Stop dreaming of you with more success. Frankly, your dreams are a waste. You might as well just pack it up, move on and forget about them, because I can tell you that your dreams alone are 100% worthless.

I bet you want to give me a swift Chuck Norris roundhouse kick in the jaw right now. “What a horrible thing to say!” you might be thinking. Do I not want you to succeed and have dreams? Of course not, quite the contrary! Let me explain:

Everyone has dreams. Maybe you want a better life or world. Perhaps you dream of being wildly successful with fat pockets full of dough. Maybe your dream is for peace and serenity for everyone. Whatever it is, your dreams ALONE really are worthless. I hate to break it to you, but it’s the cold hard truth and once you realize this, you might actually have a chance of getting what you want. Yes, it’s nice to sit there imagining yourself in a better world, but your dreams are just a thought and nothing more. After you are done daydreaming, reality will set in. You will come right back to where you were before not any closer to actually achieving your dreams.

Alone, dreams won’t get you any closer to what you want at all! Do you really think you will get any closer to them by just sitting there daydreaming and imagining yourself in a better situation? Of course not! You see, dreams are completely useless, UNLESS you chase after them and DO something to achieve them. The keyword here is DO.  You can sit there all day daydreaming of a better world, or making more money or having more success, but unless you take action and do, you’ll be stuck right where you left off.

You have to combine your dreams with the right actions to get what you want. Your actions are your special sauce to making your dreams a reality.

Tattoo this to your forehead: Without ACTION there is NO REACTION. You will NEVER EVER be successful by sitting there on your butt dreaming about it. You must DO something to get there. Stop simply dreaming about what could be. Make your dreams real, rather than just an imaginary place you take yourself every now and then to escape everyday life. You don’t have to live in an imaginary world anymore, you CAN create your own reality in REAL LIFE. You can shape your own environment to whatever you want. However, it’s not your dreams that will get you there, it’s your actions. They are what matters. 

Turn your dreams into actionable goals. What will it take to make your dreams become your real life? Find out what steps must you take to get there? Make those steps your goals and start crossing them off one by one. It’s the only way you will ever get any closer to actually making your dreams your reality.

Stop dreaming and start living. Wouldn’t you rather actually live your dreams, rather than just think about them?
