Writing down your dreams gives them substance. It provides you with a goal.  Tuck your notes into a safe place where you can refer to them often.

Consider those goals when making choices for yourself – will this choice get me closer to my dreams or take me further away?

Share your dreams with someone you trust. Ask them to keep you accountable.

In the beginning stages your dream may seem too large to comprehend.  Take small steps. What can you do today, this week, this month that will take you a little closer to fulfilling your dream?

Is there a book you’ve been meaning to read on the subject?  A person you meant to speak with, but fear you’ve lost the opportunity? A class you intended to take? Take a moment to write it down.

Share these steps with those in your social circle. (They don’t have to know the reason behind it or the ultimate goal.) The right people may have insight, wisdom and connections for the direction you are going.

As you progress toward your dream, over time, you’ll find definitions begin to form and clarity will bring greater insight into your next step.

In his heart, a man plans his course, but the Lord determines his steps.   Proverbs 16:9
