To Dream the Impossible Dream-Have You Commited to It

By
Real Estate Agent with Sailwinds Realty
Do you have dreams about getting the commission on that 3 million dollar sale, winning the Mega Ball Lottery, buying a weekend home on an exotic island and the plane to fly there.

What do you do about those dreams? Do you wake up, shake yourself and say: Wow, that was silly of me: that will never happen? Or are you going  to do something about attaining them?
To Dream the Impossible Dream-Have You Commited to It

Do you see Shayna's reflection on the window; she's on the inside looking out. What's her goal?


Think about the following:

1. Are you goal-oriented?

2. Can you set the bar higher? Can you set a bar?

3. Can you make a list of what it is you need to do to get to that goal?

4. Will you print it out and post it where you can see it each morning?

5. Will you look at it and commit to it each morning?

6. Will you commit to it until you reach your goal?

Not all of us will do those things; some of us will start with good intentions; some will make it to their goal; most will not.

But think about this:

If you don’t reach your ultimate goal, but along the way you realize many smaller goals (more listings, more sales, higher-priced listings, dominating your market area) have you really failed?
 
To Dream the Impossible Dream-Have You Commited to It

Shayna is committed and determined; will that help her? Look at that focus.



Don’t forget: add things to your goals such as:

1. More family time
2. More time helping in the community
3. More time for yourself.

These are things that will help you commit to your other goals.

Shayna is on the inside of the window; the toad on the outside. Shayna's goal was to play with and capture the toad. Can that happen? Is it an impossible dream?

You have a much better chance of attaining your dream.

Kristin - animals are so funny, you can see what they are thinking.

Alexandra - thank you. And, I didn't notice the ear reflection till you pointed it out. She is quite the cat, as you say.

John - thank you! It was a golden moment :)

Margaret - the eyes are directly focused and you know where her mind is going.

Cara - thank you!

Steve - The only way Shayna could achieve her goal would be if I went outside and brought the little guy in for her and that wasn't going to happen :) She's a captive kitty: inside only.

Toni, if we don't set higher goals, how will you ever know you cannot achieve them!     Shayna has some SERIOUS goals, especially if that frog is on the OTHER SIDE of the glass!

Dreaming is a wonderful way to understand what is going on with your self-conscious. If you dream of success and recognition it will happen; depends on the perimeters of what you consider success. Life would be dull without having a dream or a focus of what if......

Love your photos.

Joan - Shayna always has serious goals ;)

Anita - It is good to have serious goals. Thanks.

Ceil - Dreams are serious stuff and give us insight into ourselves if we know how to look at them.

Nick - big goals do require big commitment. I agree that there are people who may not realize that when they start.

Kathy - she's always available ;)

Jennifer - you said it in a nutshell. Thanks.

Sandy - thank you- the pictures came first before the thoughts.

Toni - Why do I think that little frog's dream is about to end up in the tummy of that cat. . .LOL 

I use to have big goals, and I achieved a number of them too.  But a strange thing happened about 6 years ago, and I began to SIMPLIFY my life a great deal.  Free time is a big goal on a day to day basis.  I've been a lot happier since.  I think my goals prior were a little materialistic, and money doesn't always buy happiness.

Myrl is right on target, as we get somewhat 'up' in years, we start to simplify our lives. Free time is important, having time for a stroll down to the seashore, time to pick up my granddaughter and take her to a paint class, time to take a slow morning walk on Honeymoon Island and collect sea shells. Years ago I would have been running after the next big goal......now I want to enjoy life. The money I earn today is more for things my kids can do with it.......I don't need much and am happy with my life as it is.

Myrl - me too. I know exactly what you are saying.

Barbara Jo - that is a goal too and it's a good one.

Amy - thank you. Shayna and the frog thank you too.
