Dreams Require A Constant Reminder

There is so much going on in our lives, that sometimes we overlook the things that are important to us. There is work, study, family, recreation, business, and a lot of other things going on, but you need to watch out as the mind has a tendency to drift.

Have you ever been involved with an activity, but then once in awhile you drift from what you were doing, and start daydreaming about other things? The mind wonders, and this happens over short spans, but can be more pronounced when you consider the cumulative effect over a longer time period.

If your mind can drift whilst on a single task, then it can also drift in a big way on major goals, including your dreams. It is precisely for this reason, that you need to develop the habit of reminding yourself what your dreams and goals are, because if you don’t, you will wake up a few years down the line and realise that you didn’t achieve what you set out to achieve, simply because you failed to maintain focus in the pursuit.

Several months ago, I restarted publishing this blog, after not doing so for about six months. What bothers me the most about this turn of events, was the fact that I never really made the conscious decision to stop publishing the blog.

Publishing the blog is something I enjoy immensely and I am very committed to it. But funny enough, I cannot give you a good reason why I had stopped. For a few weeks leading to me stopping publishing the blog, I did not have Internet access and completely forgot about the blog when I got back online. 

Despite not having connectivity, this was no reason to abandon the project altogether. This is something that would never have happened, if I had made constant reminders to myself, of how the blog is an important component of my dream.

In order to stay focused and keep reminding yourself of the significance of your dream, and the need to follow through, you have to be aware of certain actions that will help to propel you towards the actualisation of that dream.
