A common theme with my clients is that their goals and dreams seem impossible because there isn't enough time to achieve them. What they want is so big, so audacious, that they don't believe they can happen. They can't imagine there ever being a time where they'll come true or having enough time to make them come true.
The thing is, you don't have to make those dreams come true today. Big things don't happen instantly and there are no overnight successes. That new actor/comic/writer who is suddenly a big deal didn't achieve success over night. The worked at their craft, they busted their butts and they made the most of small opportunities. "Overnight" is often years, or decades, in the making.
When we compare ourselves to others, all we see is the outside, the finished project. We don't see the hours of work put in, the failures along the way, the times things didn't work out, but a valuable lesson was learned. But all that is a part of that overnight success.
Big dreams and overnight successes start today. When you look at where you want to be it is important to not look at the end of the road, but the beginning. What can you do today to become an overnight success in the future?
There are many times I've sat with clients who were deflated when talking about their goals because they seemed so far away. That deflation turned to hope and excitement as we broke down all the things that had to happen to make the final goal a reality. Those things, were a little closer to possible. We then broke those things down to small things that need to happen until we got to the small starting points, the seeds that could be planted today that would eventually grow into those dreams.
Think about your dreams and the life you want to live. What needs to happen for you to get to that point, where does it all start? If you'd like help and support in formulating your life plan and make the seeming impossible become possible, contact me for a free life coaching consultation.
