We all dream of achieving something, following our dreams and building them. But for most people, they simply can’t start doing what they would love to do. No matter how determined and committed they are to their ideas, there will be a lot of reasons for them not to act. What’s stopping them from doing? I’ve listed a number of elements that for me is the most crucial out of all of them.
Education
You can’t act on your dreams or ideas if you don’t have knowledge about them. And there’s a lot of way to gather knowledge. Formal education does not necessarily mean that you are well equipped, it still falls on you on how you will continue to gather knowledge. Learning never stops. There are books, seminars, online courses, even from the experiences of other persons, you will find knowledge. There is no shortage of knowledge, only in the means of accessing it.
Passion
You have the right knowledge, congratulations! But you don’t have the passion, the will to do what you ought you want to be. Will your dreams materialized? Passion will be the one to drive you, that even when things are not going the way you want it to be, you still continue finding a way to make it happen. Passion is your dedication towards your desired result, joined with your deepest why: your motivation and inspiration, and you’re one step closer on achieving your goals.
Mentor
All cannot be done by you alone. Make it a goal to find a mentor. Why would you do so? Mentors are people who are already there, or sometimes, nearing towards their goals that they start to share their learnings and experiences to others. You don’t have to reinvent the wheel, find the people who built it and learn from them. Enhance it if you may, you don’t necessarily have to start from nothing.
Team
Just as a good mentor, a good team is as vital element in the pursuit of your dreams. People who also believes in your vision, in your ideas, in your goals that they will help you build it. No man is an island, they say. And you will need all the help you can find to be able to fully utilize your time and resources to act on it.
Now, you can start taking actions toward your dreams. Network with the right people, build connections, try your ideas, and most importantly, enjoy your journey towards your goal. There are still obstacles to come, hindrances that needed solution, problems to be solved. All that will build you on your path to achieving success.
