One dream of mine is about to be realized. I will not share now, what this is. But want to share, how it came about, what was the process, and what I need to do to realize it fully.
First, I recognized within myself that I needed to do it. I acknowledged the importance of it. I knew, doing it helps my career, and is connected to another bigger dream that I am envisioning for myself after a year or two.
Personal dream takes a collective effort. I realized that. I got connected with people, who had similar dream like mine. I talked with them, I emailed them. I shared that I am interested in. I put in the works for it. And then, they too accepted that they accept my dream as a part of the collective dream that we all are envisioning.
Now, yes, the dream was accepted. It's not a reality yet. Now, I need to turn it into reality. Baby steps have started, but I recognize, this will not be enough, as other commitments, responsibilities and my own slavery to certain temptations are holding me back. Next few months, I have to strategically find quality and allocated time for me to dedicate to that dream to become reality. This would be about saying NO to lot of people, events, temptations. And it is going to be hard. IT will be also about talking, sharing, brainstorming with like minded people, which is always effortless for me. Most importantly, it will be about reminding myself everyday that for now, this dream is a priority and all other commitments will have to be managed accordingly.
And all this planning, for a dream, that is actually so so small. But yet, it overwhelms me, I wonder, whether I can do it. Even if I know, I can do it, I wonder whether it will be perfect. And I know, based on the experience of realizing my previous dream successfully that this voice will not stop, it will keep on going on my head. And I will just be a witness to this kind of talking. I will not give in to it, I will just let it be, and do my thing.
So, dreamers out there, just wanted to share that if you have a dream, acknowledge it. And connect it with your day to day activity. Allocate regular, ( if not everyday) time for it. WORK ON IT. That's the only way.
