We all have goals to fulfill and dreams to realize. Many of these are great plans that we have developed since we were kids, others are also recent. Whether these large, medium or small, are to be fulfilled in five or a year, you must be specific with what you want if you are hoping to see them realized.
"I don't know when, but for sure someday...", "I hope this will be my year...", "I don't know when, but soon...". If this is how you talk about your dreams and goals, it is possible that that 'someday', that 'soon', will be diluted with time and become a "Things didn’t happen my way", “Couldn’t do it", "other opportunities will come". And it is that from those phrases that sound 'so positive' emerges a couple of real dream killers: procrastination and remoteness (absence of deadline).
The first of the great dream killers is the one we have as a reflection -sometimes - for various and everyday tasks. Tasks that at the time could be done and that were not done for X or Y reason, in which usually hides the - so dangerous- laziness. Not forgetting that culturally we like to wait to do what, in theory, can wait. If you can't carry out a simple, everyday task at the time that requires it and can be done, How Will you do with a plan that really requires greater dedication?
The second of the killers is undoubtedly connected to the first. When there is a task without a deadline, our subconscious will not give priority to it either mental or temporal. "I start tomorrow", "now it is not necessary", " I'm coming...". All these phrases put in us, consciously and unconsciously, the idea that tasks can be put aside, that there is no urgency, that it can wait.
Setting a deadline for your goals and dreams pushes your subconscious to work for it. Do you remember school or university assignments? That deadline meant something very important, and beyond the task itself, it meant that your academic future depended on delivering at that moment and your subconscious, in a state of defense, worked for you to deliver on time. It will work the same way when you put a time limit on your dreams.
Your dream deadline may be flexible, but how much flexibility you give to that date will depend on whether or not you see your dreams come true. If the deadline has expired, and your dream is not yet fulfilled, you can refocus the task, look for new ways to bring into reality that dream for which you have worked so hard. But, if you are going to be flexible from day one, the one on which you define your goal, the date will also be, and that dream you want to see come true in a couple of years can stretch to five or more, which could lead you to give up.
"Without goals and plans to reach them,
you are like a ship that has set sail without destination"
Fitzhugh Dodson
Give your dreams achievable dates and times, that your conscious and your subconscious know that what you are going to work for will be reality. But also be optimistic with dates, do not give a dream achievable in a year, a five-term. Make a calendar with the tasks you need to do weekly, monthly and annually for your dream to materialize... And work for it, dream of it and you will see how your reality begins to have many similarities with your dream, to the point that that goal already becomes tangible and real.
