Staying on Track

Jean de la Fontaine said, "Man is so made that whenever anything fires his soul, impossibilities vanish". The Dream Test begins with the question, "Are you following your own dream". If not, life will throw obstacles at you at a staggering pace, because life wants you to pursue your own dreams, and will make sure that it does what it can to get you back on track. Ask yourself the question: “How would I really feel if I never accomplished this in my entire life”. If it leaves you hurting and is too hard to accept, then you have found your dream or you are very close to it. If you would accept it and just formulate something else life is trying to teach you a lesson.
 
Maya Angelou said, "I’ve learned that no matter what happens or how bad it seems today, life does go on and it will be better tomorrow". The Priority Test begins with the question, "Are my dreams and goals in perspective". If you put your dream above health, love, family, and friends life will throw obstacles at you. These are often overlooked, partly because they’re ‘soft’ and hard to translate into goals, or maybe because they are taken for granted a little too easy. Life is trying to teach you that you should pursue your dream, but not regardless of everything else! Set your priorities straight. There’s more to life than accomplishing your dream, and living your dream should never be done alone.

Brian Tracy said, "Identify the major obstacle that stands between you and your goal and begin today to remove it". The Skills Test begins with the question, "Do I have the right skill set". Life’s pretty smart when it comes to obstacles, so the ones that will arise are those that will call for these skills specifically. If you don’t have the skills yet, don’t give up, because learning an essential skill is working to accomplish that dream too! Learning a new skill might feel like a mountain to conquer, but experience says that if the skill is necessary to get closer to fulfilling your dream, learning the skill is not that bad. The trick is to get started, take the first step, and have fun learning something new.

Seneca said, "It is a rough road that leads to the heights of greatness". The Commitment Test begins with the question, "Are you ready to do what it takes". The dream feels right, you’ve got your priorities straight, and you’ve got the skills you need, so all of your ducks in a row. Life is going to start there by testing your endurance and perseverance. It’s going to make it hard on you to test whether you are man or woman enough to deserve to have your dream fulfilled. This is the time to stick to the matter and push-on! Keep going! Make a nice visualization, either using imaginary or by creating something that will help you visualize what you’re trying to accomplish. Stay focused, endure, persevere, and succeed.
