Ever thought about how to reach your dream, I have. In order to reach the dream merely take a look at the secret embedded in the word DREAM. [Direct Resources Everyday Act Measure].

In order to reach your dream you first need to have a clear direction and act as a director in order to get there. The next step is to utilize the enormous resources you possess in mentally to get yourself going, tapping into your unconscious powers and previous experiences. The third step is to work on attaining your dream everyday. The fourth step is the most important, namely to act in accordance with your direction. Last but not least you have to measure whether or nor your action took you where you wanted to go, otherwise redirect, angle again and act.

So D.R.E.A.M on and reach your DREAM

“The secret of getting ahead is getting started. The secret of getting started is breaking your complex overwhelming tasks into small manageable tasks, and then starting on the first one.“

~Mark Twain

As creatures of the earth we have tremendous powers and we differ from the animals in many ways. One of which is the ability to Visualize. At the prefrontal cortex in the newest part of the brain, the Neocortex, we can visualize things and events that have happened and will happen. In goalsetting this ability is widely spread. Merely visualizing however will do little unless you connect it to the action, taking you in the direction of what you visualize.

The good news is that there is help. In the brain we have a system or “attention center” called the RAS [Reticular Activating System] that is activated and getting your attention. For instance when you walk in an airport and suddenly your name announced in the loudspeakers “Mr X is late for the flight and we are ready for take off” your attention center RAS, kicks in. This is good because it means that whatever is important to you you will react to with the help of RAS. However this is not enough, you need to act as well, otherwise you will definately miss that flight.

If you act on something in life comes down to the associations you make. Either you associate pain to doing something and you don’t act, or pleasure to the outcome of the action and you act. By looking at the associations you make everyday you act and achieve your goals easier.

We are avoidance creatures and do everything we can to avoid getting hurt. In the old days [200.000 years ago], when we were out on the planes, we rightly were afraid of all the things that could happen to us, but today it´s different. The dangers are not there to such an extent but our brain believes they are. The oldest part of the brain, the “reptile” is fast in telling us there is danger and sets the body in defense mode. By questioning our own thinking and associate positive outcomes of our actions we can overcome this fear of failure and move towards our goal. Or as it´s been said before. Fear is an abbreviation of FANTASIZED EXPERIENCES APPEARING REAL
