    Be specific about your dream. The first thing you need to do is to be specific about your dream so you can be on your way to making it happen. One way to be very specific about your dreams is to write them in your dream journal or in a notebook. If you don't know what you really want, then you can't achieve it, can you? However, you can still start on your path before being 100% sure of what will happen. You just have to have an idea of what you want to happen and then find a way to narrow it down as you move closer and closer to your dream.
  • For example, let's say you've always loved writing and want to be a real writer at the end of the day. You may not know whether you want to write novels, be a journalist, or even be an inspirational blogger, but you may have a better sense of what you want as you move in the right direction.
  • Don't worry if you don't have it all figured out.

    Maybe your dream is just to find a job that makes you feel like you're making a real difference in the world. There are many ways to make this happen, and having a broad goal will help you get there.

    Turn your dream into a burning desire. You will need to turn your dream into a burning desire in your heart. A strong will to achieve your dreams boosts self-confidence and will aid you in pulling through some of the worst stages of life. The way to turn your dream into a burning desire is to believe that your dream is achievable and that you can actually achieve it. If you just look at it as a general wish, such as losing five pounds this year, or wanting to move somewhere sunny without really doing it, then you won't be able to take it seriously.
  • Once it has become a burning desire you are no longer to refer to it as a dream, because the very nature of a dream gives the impression that it is not real. You have to start thinking of it as something more.
  • It is important to move from dream to burning desire, to goal. Only a goal can be approached.

    Turn your burning desires into goals. You then need to turn your burning desire into a goal. You had earlier turned your dream into a burning desire because you believe it can be done and that you can do it. But to actually turn it into a goal, you need to believe that you will do it.

    This kind of believing is based on your commitment that if it can be done then you can do it, and that if you can do it, you can do it now. The thing about goals is they are time sensitive, so adding a time frame helps you to accept the fact that you are committed to doing it.[1]
  • Once you have turned your burning desire into a goal, you are no longer to call it a burning desire or a dream; it is now your goal in life, a goal that must be achieved by you.

    Plan. Create a strategic plan of action. You will need to create a strategy for the accomplishment of your goals; this strategy is usually called a plan or a plan of action. There is no universal plan of action for everyone; each strategy depends on the person involved and the goals they wish to accomplish; because of this fact, the key to creating your own working plan of action lies in you and you need to seek it out.[2]
  • Write down every step of your plan. Having it written down can help you feel that it is more concrete and doable. Just remember that life isn't so cut and dry and that you may not neatly be able to check off one goal after the other, and that you may end up changing some of the necessary steps for achieving your dreams or re-imagine a new path along the way.

    Take action now. Once you have turned your goals into a plan of action tailored to you, you need to take action and utilize every opportunity that will come your way. It's time to stop making excuses, and to keep putting off until tomorrow what can be done today. Sure, there are always great reasons to put off achieving your dreams, such as having to plan your wedding, going through a busy time at work, getting embroiled in a complicated relationship, and so on, but if you have this attitude, you can end up making excuses forever and won't ever get a thing done.
  • The way of the universe is that like attracts like and where there is a need, the universe seems to find a way of meeting those needs through opportunities. You need to be prepared for them as you take action on your plans to achieve your goals which will help you actualize your burning desire and make your dream a reality.

    Set short-term goals. Divide your main goal into sub-divisions, and set time periods for achieving each of the items on the list.

    It's all about taking baby steps. For example, if your dream is to write a novel, you can start by taking a writing workshop in your area, or even trying your hand at writing a five page story. If you jump right into the novel, it'll be harder to get the job done without building up a strong foundation that gives you the skills you really need to achieve your dreams.[3]
  • When you're forming short-term goals to reach your dream, or even thinking about long term goals to do so, it can really help to get advice from people in the field, whether they are close friends or acquaintances, to see how they did it. This will help you get a better sense of what those goals should be, and how realistic and doable they really are.
  • If you don't meet a deadline, try to shake it off. Then set another date that is more realistic for you.

    Review your progress regularly. As you start on the path to making your dreams come true, it's important to have a sense of what you are accomplishing. Though Rome wasn't built in a day and you may not be progressing as quickly as you wanted, it's important to have a sense that you are moving forward.[4] Here are some things you should look out for as you develop your own personal progress report:
  • If you have achieved your goals for that time period.
  • If you still have a desire to follow your dream.
  • If you have deviated from the path toward fulfilling your goal.

    Enjoy the journey. The most important thing is not to think that your life is terrible and that you'll only find happiness once you achieve your dream. In fact, once you achieve your dream and the euphoria has worn off, you'll find that you may return to your natural state of being and will be hungry for a new dream. This kind of longing and forward thinking is perfectly normal, so you should enjoy following every step of the way instead of thinking that you'll only be happy/feel proud of yourself/feel like your life has meaning after you've achieved your goal. Instead, enjoy every step of the way and be proud of yourself the whole way through.
