We all have dreams we want to achieve in life. Everyone has more than one dream, but there is that ultimate dream that we all want to achieve. Achieving this dream will change the course of our life completely to a better direction. (Read the post on how to identify your dreams and how to achieve them.)

An average of 3.8 failures encountered by every successful person.

Achieving big dreams is hard and it is easy to give up along the way. If you are on your way to achieve your dream you will find yourself asking yourself questions like;˜is it worth it? ˜I am not sure this will become a success maybe I was wrong.

What really separates a successful person from an average person are three things:
1. Persistence.
2. Planning.
3. Discipline.

How Do You Know That Your Big Dream Is Achievable and worth it?

1. It™s not all about you.
2. Have the Right Mind Set.

8% of People actually achieve their dreams!

According to studies done by a company called Static Brain, which showed that 100% of people set their goals on New Year Day. They found out that 75% of people were able to maintain their goal for only one week. 71% were able to maintain their goals for 2 weeks, 64% made it to one month and 46% made it past 6 months that is 92% out of the 100% that did not see their dreams through to success.

    I also think that your dreams should not be TOO SCARY that you are intimidated into starting it. You may start with wanting a scary big goal but to get yourself started, you can break it down into smaller pieces, and just begin small. Keep raising the bar higher as you accomplish each step and grow more skills and confidence.

    Your post reminds me of the quote, "“If your dreams do not scare you, they are not big enough.” - Ellen Johnson Sirleaf I also agree with you that "92% out of the 100% that did not see their dreams through to success...For you to achieve your dreams you have to constantly remind yourself why you are doing it." Based on my experience, compelling reasons (like money and 'for your family') are not enough to keep me on track. I think we also need a SYSTEM to help us work on our plan, and so far what is working for me is the use of 'google calendar'. I keep myself on purpose by creating To-Do List on a daily basis that will help push me forward towards my bigger goal. Reviews are also scheduled in the google calendar so I can make modifications based on changing priorities and experience. It's not that we lack the will or motivation but people need systems and some organization to be more productive and to accomplish their goals.
