What’s Your Next Step?

Many people get overwhelmed when they think about goals or dreams. They seem intimidating or unachievable. Because of this, many people stop dreaming and setting goals altogether. Today I want to encourage you to spend some time dreaming. Get a notebook, a pen, and find a peaceful place to think about what you want to accomplish in your lifetime.

What do you want to accomplish in your family?
What do you want to accomplish in your work?
What do you want to experience in your free time?
If money were no object, what would you do with your life?

Now, write down a next step for each of your dreams. Don’t worry about the entire plan. Figure out one next step and commit to taking action. Then come up with another next step. Keep repeating this and keep moving forward. As the familiar saying goes, you can only eat an elephant one bite at a time and similarly you can only accomplish your dreams one step at a time.

I believe you have greatness within you. You were created with a significant purpose. Your personal and professional potential are great, but you have to intentionally take action to achieve all you are capable of.
