How Visualization and Dreams Can Drive Your Ambition and Motivation to Succeed

Hey there, my friends! It's Bravell Dodd, and today I want to talk to you about the power of visualization and dreams. Many of us have ambitious goals, but we often struggle to find the motivation to achieve them. Visualization and dreams can help you overcome those challenges and take your life to the next level.

Here are eight bullet points explaining why:

Visualization helps you create a clear vision of your future: By visualizing your future self, you can create a clear picture of who you want to become and what you want to achieve. This clarity is essential for setting goals and creating an action plan that will get you there.
Dreams give you something to strive for: When you dream big, you give yourself something to aim for. Dreams help you push beyond your comfort zone and do things you never thought possible.
Visualization helps you stay focused: When you have a clear vision of your future, it's easier to stay focused on your goals. You know what you want and where you're going, so you're less likely to get sidetracked by distractions.
Dreams fuel your passion: When you have a big dream, it's hard not to get excited. That excitement fuels your passion and gives you the energy to work towards your goals.
Visualization helps you overcome obstacles: When you encounter obstacles on your journey, visualization can help you overcome them. By imagining yourself succeeding despite the challenges, you strengthen your resolve to keep going.
Dreams inspire creativity: Big dreams require big ideas. When you dream big, you open yourself up to new possibilities and spark your creativity. That creativity can help you find innovative solutions to problems and propel you towards success.
Visualization helps you create a positive mindset: By focusing on your future success, you train your mind to think positively. A positive mindset helps you stay motivated, even when things get tough.
Dreams give you a sense of purpose: When you have a big dream, it gives you a sense of purpose. You know what you're working towards, and that sense of purpose can be incredibly motivating.

Some common steps that you can take to be more successful with your dreams and visions:

Think through your dream, visualize it, and ask yourself if you’re doing everything you can to live it.

Your dream is your calling.

It fills the gap between how good you are today and how good you are capable of being tomorrow. Instead of just wanting and wishing for an outcome, it’s time to focus on the journey to the destination instead.

When you’re living in alignment with your calling, you are able to find fulfillment throughout any stage of your life.

Step 1: Accept it. Your dream is possible! Too often doubt can cloud your ability to change your life. When you practice visualization, you allow yourself to take the first step toward the future you want.

Step 2: Write it. When you write things down, it allows you to shift them, acknowledge the possibility, and activate the planning part of your brain.

Step 3: Own it. Take ownership of all aspects of your dream. Confront the fear that’s holding you back so you can free yourself from it.

Step 4: Plan it. Look at your dream and break it down into achievable projects. If you think five or ten years into the future, your distance can become a horizon

Step 5: Pursue it - with reckless abandon. Your dream needs YOU to come alive. Pursue it through each and every fear knowing there are very few mistakes you can possibly make that will end your dream. Ask yourself who you need in your environment to help you move forward the fastest, what resources you need to execute, and what the next step is. If you get stuck, take a look at the plan you already created and you’ll stay on the path to your dream.

Step 6: Enjoy it. Pursuing your dream isn’t drudgery. Each step you take serves the greater good. Celebrate the lessons, the micro-successes, and the completion of each step on your journey.

Step 7: Elevate it. When you set out to try something new, very often you achieve your initial goal quickly.

Step 8: Give it. Dreams are meant to be shared. Live by example and share your goodness. It’s there for others too! When you give your dream to the world, you live in alignment with your highest self and you lead others into believing in the possibilities of more because of how you showed up.

Things you need to do to make your dreams and visions a reality

Build your network and learn how to use it. Sometimes you have a network you don’t even know is there.

Put pressure behind your goals. Pressure is a privilege. When you learn to put everything on the line, you ask your higher self to come forward.

Pledge: Commit to your dream by writing a contract with yourself.

Give yourself permission to pursue your dream. You are going to have to give yourself

permission to do something that doesn’t seem logical for you to currently do.

Get curious. Curiosity is the necessary first step to developing a deeper level of awareness and discovering our purpose.

Get passionate. When you are seeking a purpose, it shouldn’t feel like a burden in your life. Find the thing that lights you up, and allow yourself to really get passionate about it.

Get clear on your current identity and who you need to become. Your identity can be your biggest barrier. When you get clear on who you are and where you are in life,

Accept looking stupid. Avoid the defender mentality and be willing to look stupid if it's something that is a dream of yours.

Do the dark work. Shifting your identity requires doing work that will be uncelebrated and misunderstood by others.

Resilience. Learn to deal with rejection, criticism and your fear about what others think about you. Someone else’s opinion should not be more important than your dream. Resilience is about you.

Live the dream. Structure your life so that you will be able to live your dream full time. Start by building systems into your life that allow you to work on it with the minimal time that you have now.

Get back into your flow and authenticity. It is up to you to write your own story, not for the rest of the world to write it for you.
