All you need is Vision
My wife and I were having the toughest time potty training our son.聽 Then we realized that he had no goal to reach or nothing to accomplish in sight.聽 He is now three years old and we got him his first bicycle.聽 The bike was his goal.聽 No, don't worry, he had to put work into it, to achieve it.
So we sat down with him and made a plan.聽 I made a poster and took a picture of the bike. I then taped the picture on the top on the poster.聽 Each time he used the potty correctly, he was allowed to put a sticker on the poster.聽 When the stickers reach the bike, he gets his reward.聽 It would take at least 150 stickers.聽 My goal was to create habit and to my son see that he could work toward a goal and watch his progress.
I was told that it takes 21 days to form a habit. So, by the time he gets his bike, he will have this habit down.聽 Now, I also put these pictures of his bike around the house to remind him of his goal and what he was working for.聽 So, there was one in the kitchen,聽 one in his room by his bed, and the other is right in front of his face in the bathroom. But, until my son had a goal to achieve, he was unwilling to put his side of the effort in.
"One major today is most people don鈥檛 know there is something more to life other than what they are doing."
America is the land of the greatest opportunity in the world, yet so many people have no idea what they want to achieve in life.聽 That is why they spend their entire life in the rat race chase the dollar bill, just trying to pay last month鈥檚 bills. They don't even know what they want, even though they have the opportunity.
Yet, once someone has a Dream, it still is not enough.聽 They now need a plan of action.聽 With the two together, it is up to them.聽 Sometimes, when you have a plan and you don鈥檛 put it into action because of reasons of laziness, procrastination, or such, the dream become a nightmare and people give up.聽 This is usually because they have no one to support them during their trials.
It's all your mindset.聽 Knowing what you want, and having the means to achieve it, yet not taking action, can feel worse than not having a dream at all.聽 I once had a person tell me them wish they never read the book "Rich Dad, Poor Dad".聽 That book opened their eyes to the Truth of how the world worked, and now put responsibility of their goals in their hands. It felt ironic that he blamed me for sharing the book with him.
