Goal Realization. 
                            
                          What is the difference between dreaming and doing? It's all in the doing. 
                          Dream! Dream big! Then, it is time to set it to task. 
                          The dream... 
                          What are its parameters? Size, materials needed, time needed, cost. How 
                            can it be edited? Smaller or different size, less or different materials, 
                            less time, and cost modification. 
                          What do all of these have in common? The next step id research. In today's 
                            world of the World Wide Web, the resources are endless. Do you need more 
                            education? A mentor? A friend, coworker, or partner to bounce ideas off 
                            of? 
                          Once all of this is done, you could have some overwhelming information, 
                            but you have it. Now it's time to figure out the plan. How long will it 
                            take to procure and implement all of this? What are the priorities? 
                          Now set this into a calendar of tasks to complete. It may be short, it may 
                            be long: but if you stick to it, it will get done. Task managers can also 
                            help. There are many apps for smart devices that can help with this. 
                          When it comes to long-term goals, time can be the enemy. Not to the goal 
                            but to you. The slow periods can test your patience, wear you down and 
                            make you feel like you aren't going nowhere. This is where the calendar 
                            can help. Realizing that you are moving ahead slowly but surely helps keep 
                            you focused and on target. 
                           
                          Another thing is getting in too deep too fast. If it is a long-term or a 
                            complicated goal, take it in small chunks. As you mark off all the little 
                            steps- DO NOT DELETE THEM FROM YOU TASK LIST! You will need this later 
                            when things aren't going so smoothly. Being able to review all the tasks 
                            you have successfully completed is a powerful motivator for you. 
                          Whether working out, eating better, starting a new career, or saving to 
                            invest in something special, these tips can help you turn your dreams into 
                            reality.  |
