Have you heard from your parents or from other people the lines, “Dream big! Dreams are free. It costs nothing!” The reason why we wake up every day is not only to do our daily chores but to fulfill our God-given dreams. It’s God’s way of telling, “Son, wake up! Your goals are you calling you; you’ve got to chase them.”
However, setting goals to achieve those God-given dreams is not easy. There’s no shortcut in accomplishing the goals we set for ourselves. Goal-setting requires careful planning, a focused mind, and deliberate execution of actions.
So, here’s the formula to awaken the giant from within to knock off those blocks in achieving your God-given dreams:
Formula: Direction + Determination = Destiny
DIRECTION (goals and action)
Having a direction in life allows us to know what course we want our life to go through. We cannot wake up one day and poof, we’re already successful. We’ve got to have specific goals to achieve and laid-out actions to nip those goals. We need to have a clear vision backed up with definite and concrete steps to achieve what we want in life.
We cannot change the winds of life (circumstances, changes, and chaos) but we can adjust our sails (our attitudes, mindset, skillset, and actions) to reach our desired destination. Direction is what sets our hearts on fire and purpose every day.
DETERMINATION (passion and perseverance)
Passion, perseverance and commitment make an unbeatable combination to success. We may have goals to achieve and actions laid out but without nestling it with determination, rarely or more often, we easily give up along the process.
When we know in our heart of hearts that the goals and desires are planted by God Almighty, we will always go to any length to pursue those desires. Let us always remember that ONLY those who are determined become overcomers, trailblazers, and game-changers.
DESTINY (success of life’s dreams)
The very reason why we wake up everyday is not only to achieve what we want in life but also to fulfill our God-given destiny. Once we put both direction and determination, our aspirations are not far-reaching; we can grasp them with our hands. Of course, with the guidance and provisions of God Almighty.
Our destiny in life is not a product of random circumstances; it’s a by-product of conscious and well-thought choices and life’s every day chances. We craft our destiny; so we better choose to make the best choices in life.
So let us declare this everyday:
“I am determined. I am directed by God. My destiny matters!”
Once you incorporate these 3D’s in your everyday life, you will surely achieve the dreams that you ultimately desire. Success is within reach only when we start reaching out for it. To win big in life, keep on thinking big, act bigger, and the results will be relentless.
