Dreaming about something is really commonplace in human beings' lives. Everyone has big ideas and hopes for the future, but one thing that makes the real difference between just dreaming and getting it is hard work.
I have realized it's not just a thing for which to wish. No matter how much you want to achieve something, it won't just fall right into your laps. It's really quite like standing at the edge of a cliff, hoping you would fly if you just took a step further. Well, it's really not like that, is it? Mostly, a dream doesn't fall off the sky into your lap, it requires work.
Hard work is a process. It is the setting of the goals and coming up with a plan. This is not just some pie-in-the-sky, dream-big scenario. It's about breaking down your dreams into bite-sized, manageable tasks. Think of that beautiful house you always wanted, you can't wish that a beautiful house appears right in front of your face. You've got to lay a foundation, build walls, and add a roof, piece by piece. It's that step by step process that makes this important and brings it closer to the final result.
There will certainly be days of slow progress and those when you will hit obstacles. It is going to be rough at times, but that is the whole process. The secret is to keep moving, and even then, it gets tough. All effort applied, no matter how small, stems in the direction of attaining that goal.
And the one thing that I can say, certainly, is that steady effort is stronger than an occasional run of intense work. Steady, systematic activity usually brings better results than the sudden, sporadic outbursts of very high energy in comparatively short-lived endeavors. It's about making those gains daily and committing to reaching the goal that much more.
Remember, there is really hardly anything we can achieve overnight, it is the consequence of hard work, the summation of learning from the mistakes and never giving up. If there is something you really want to achieve, don't just have wishes, roll up your sleeves and get at work. Your dreams are worth fighting for and you will be achieving them sooner, faster than you might think.
