Can Making Dreams Come True Be As Easy As Brushing Our Teeth
What if making dreams come true is just so easy? Can we let go of our doubts? Is it possible? How can we do it so magically so that it is as easy as brushing our teeth? This excerpt from ONE Book by Masami Sato shows us exactly how to do it step-by-step, preparing you to start walking towards your dreams today.
All of us have dreams. But all of us do not have faith in ourselves so that we can have those dreams and live them in our lifetime. In fact, the secret to have such assuredness is simple. And the reason why we hesitate so much is also straightforward.
Let\’s begin with the first question that we can ask ourselves
Why don\’t we do the things we want to do?
Our thoughts usually stop us from acting. Sometimes the more we think about something, the less we become committed to achieve what we set out to do in the first place. Because the more we think about it, we tend to come up with more and more reasons for not doing it.
Then is it possible that one can be certain that one will definitely accomplish what one wants to do in his life?
Yes, definitely! For a start, let us look at the power of habits..
If we have an appointment for a meeting tomorrow night, we might not spend too much time worrying whether we can reach there or not. We would not be bothered about the likelihood of having a car accident and not being present at the appointment. In the same way when we walk to the bathroom, we may not worry if the toilet would be broken down.
We have so much more certainty about these types of \’normal\’ actions we take every day. They\’re habits.
But, we doubt our dreams
Interestingly, there are so many things we are not so sure about. Especially the things we really want to do in our life – our Dreams!
So what\’s the secret for the certainty that we will achieve our dreams?
First: Simply make it a daily habit!
We can begin with being more assured about our actions to fulfil our desires – the type of dreams that really nurtures our life.
So, for example, if your dream is to give and contribute to society and giving is a key desire in your life, there is no reason to doubt that it\’s possible for you to contribute to others. It can just become one of your daily habits.
Second: Make it as important (and as easy) as brushing our teeth
Achieving our dreams can be just like brushing our teeth. It wouldn\’t feel good if we didn\’t brush our teeth for a long time, would it? We wouldn\’t spend hours thinking of which toothpaste to use or delay the good feeling of having clean teeth for other \’priorities\’. We feel uncomfortable if our teeth are not clean. So we just clean them!
Looking at our example, if giving is what we desire most, then we should ask ourselves a few questions: What if giving is truly as important as brushing one\’s teeth? What if it is giving us a comfortable feeling? What if it aids in remaining healthy?
No matter whether we have a lot or very little just now, we can definitely start giving it and sharing it with others today. No matter how seemingly unbelievable it is to fulfil our dreams, we can start proceeding towards them today. We should view it as something crucial, a priority issue that we should practice every day! Then we would feel unhappy if we don\’t do it. Just like brushing our teeth.
and Third: Give first, then we will get
When we give first before we actually fully have what we really want – what we dream of – we send a very powerful message to ourselves that says, \”there is enough, and more will come\”. It allows us to experience the joy today – the joy of giving.
If you want to be prosperous, be generous. And then you would be blessed with loads of everything. If you are knowledgeable enough to do so, do not be scared of teaching others. And you will learn more. If you want to share things, share freely. Do not expect anything in return. Just let go. And joy will automatically be returned to you. The simple joy o f giving.
So do not be afraid to share and give what you have, for it will not hinder you from achieving your purpose, whatever it is. It will only make you achieve your dreams quicker. And your journey there will be full of joy.
But are not habits very small, when compared to our BIG dreams?
Just do it, don\’t worry about the \’scale\’
Anything can happen in life. Things may develop in a small way. And these small things might take us to another action, and that will connect to another. The sureness we feel about our actions, and managing them one by one, keeps on taking us forward. But if we think that it is not possible to do something now, just because it is a little formidable, it simply will not happen.
The power to achieve one\’s dreams has always been there, and will always be there. Those who have managed wonders, sensations, and real joy, already know this. They go on using it.
Visions and miracles do not happen accidentally. We choose to create them.
So, are you likely to start moving towards your dreams today?
