How to Achieve Your Dreams? A Writer’s Guide to Success - Part 1

Dreams are strange things, for some they are the driving force that keeps them going. On the contrary, its just a mere escape route from the hassles of life for others.

Which one are you among the above?

If you are among the second category then possibly this article is not for you. However, if you nodded yes for being in the first category then read on to dream on.

In this article, you will find a road map to re-engineer your mind to transform you from just a dreamer to an achiever.

No matter how small or big your dreams are, your belief and perseverance are what turns the table.

So, let’s not waste any more time and jump into the guide to achieve your dreams and success as a writer:

Walt Disney once said, “if you can dream it, you can do it”.

And it is true, you have it in you to put in all your efforts and energy in pursuit of your dreams.

But to achieve dreams, first, you need to have a dream. So, dream on. Although remember what A.P.J Abdul Kalam said that dreams are not what you see while sleeping, they are something that does not allow you to sleep at all.

No matter how ambitious your dreams are. No matter how far fetched they seem to be. No matter how impossible they look like, keep believing in them till they seem as real as they can be. Strive hard and leave no stone unturned to turn them into a reality.

One of the most critical parts of all is to start a journey. Once you have started, it gets easier. Even if it does not get easier, you will get the hang of it.

If you never get started, how can you ever expect to reach your destination? If you never start working on your dreams, how do you expect to achieve your dreams?

So, start now. Start, by turning your dreams into your goals. Start formulating plans and road maps to your goals. Start your research today and find out what you need to become or do to achieve your goal.

If your goal is to write a space fiction then start to read about space technology. Find your focal point. Start researching various books (fiction and non- fiction), blogs, articles, research papers and other sources to broaden your sphere of knowledge.

The trick to success is to start at this very moment. Once you start, you will know how it is to sail through the seas. Just dreaming about the life you want and not taking action is like sitting on the shore and wishing to feel the waves.

Therefore, start working on your book today.

Remember, getting started is hard but you will never achieve anything if you don’t start at all.

Don’t wait for the perfect time to come because it won't. It won't until you believe it is the time.

Tomorrow is full of uncertainty. If you depend on tomorrow you will never reach anywhere. To reach your goals, you need to start today and believe that this is your moment.

There’s just one place in the world where success comes before work- the dictionary. In the real world, you have to strive today to achieve success tomorrow.

If you keep postponing to commence, you will lose the most precious thing in the world- time. Because Time will not wait for you. No time will seem perfect until you make it perfect.

If you think you have a lifetime to dream, work, strive, or achieve, then let me burst your bubble. Life is too short to depend on tomorrow.

Be confident about your dreams and get started today. If you wait too long, you will lose momentum.

While chasing your dreams is critical to create a clear road map and the zeal to devote the time and effort required. Not committing to your dreams will lead you to nothing. You will end up with nothing. Your dreams will become nothing but a fragment of your imagination.

Create a rough timeline. You can modify it a little if need be but don’t keep postponing your deadlines. Try to stick to your plans without any excuses.

If you intend to complete the research for your book in one month then ensure it is done within a month (give or take a few days).

Starting somewhere or the other is important. Whether you prefer to start writing some chapters first and then do the research based on your requirement. Or creating an outline of the book and create pointers for each chapter and then start writing the rough draft. It is all up to you.

So what are you waiting for? Start now. Write now. And make your dream a reality from now on.

So, let me ask you what is your dream? Are you ready to work on your dreams from today?

Until then, keeping dreaming.
