Are you dreaming enough? Are you dreaming the right dreams? Do you follow them? If you're dreaming the right dream, it should be strong enough that the journey itself becomes as appealing as reaching the destination — dreams and aspirations are the greatest motivators and means of achieving goals.

A good dream is so compelling that we're seduced into pursuing it, enjoying both journey and destination; the action plan stops being a “Must Do” and becomes a “Love To Do.” If motivation isn't strong enough, it's a sign the dream itself isn't compelling enough — we may be chasing the wrong dream.

Easy steps to follow

• Identify the right dream — pick one and decide now, rather than searching endlessly for the perfect one
• Commit to it — identify the steps, create a plan, set monthly milestones broken into weekly and daily tasks
• Follow your dream — the most exciting phase, requiring determination to follow the plan daily regardless of circumstances
• Work hard, party harder — celebrate each achievement; dreams tend to grow bigger as each one is achieved

What are we waiting for? Choose your dream now, follow it, and go ahead and seize your rainbow.
