Joel Brown said, “The only thing that stands between you and your dream is the will to try and the belief that it is actually possible.”
In order to shoot for the stars, you first have to believe that it is possible. With RISE2025, part of that success is coming together – we RISE together. Without each other, the possibility of success would slowly decline as part of that dream and belief relies on the collective rather than the individual. But the idea had to come from somewhere. And that spark is what lit the dream ablaze to spread like wildfire. I want to take Eirik Forlie’s “3 Keys for Success in Life” on lifehack.org and elaborate on them. He lists that you should write down your goals, create a powerful belief system, and invest in yourself.
Let’s begin with writing down your goals. Once you put something in writing, it becomes more concrete. If you merely think about a goal, you can easily make excuses, forget about it, or put it off. If you write it down, you’ll have it staring you in the face and you are more likely to come up with the steps to take in order to achieve said goal.
Next is creating a powerful belief system. This is important for putting in place the steps necessary to accomplish your goal. Not only will the belief system make you more confident in your goals and accomplishments, but it will in turn, allow you to gain confidence in yourself which will carry into your momentum for creating success. Believing in what you’re doing creates a belief in yourself. Exuding this belief will be infectious to others and they will believe in what you’re doing and believe in you, as well. This is where the collective comes into play. I believe so fully in the cause of what RISE2025 stands for, that others see the value in the vision and also believe in what it can accomplish.
And finally, invest in yourself. Take the time to ensure you are not burying yourself with what you are trying to accomplish. Embrace it and enhance it, but do not let it consume you. You are multi-faceted and all of those sides are important. Your health and well-being prove important. If you let those slide, then it will ultimately impact the goals and belief system you have set in place. With putting those on the list of important keys to success, you will be able to utilize yourself fully to continue on the road to building the belief system and achieving goals.
Take care of yourself, believe, and give something new a go. With this combination, you are sure to take that next step to reach your dreams – and maybe surpass what you even thought was possible? A little hard work, determination, and belief will get you a long way. And this is just the beginning! Imagine the success you could create – when you dare to dream BIG.
