But how do you decide to follow your dreams?

The Power of Our Minds
If you have a dream, you may not know how to follow it. Each of us is born with something deep inside of us that we want to do, and we suspect it will give us the happiness we crave.
Yet, we always convince ourselves that we need something more to complete those dreams. We need more time, more energy, or more money. We need to have reached a certain milestone, and then we’ll figure out how to reach that goal.
So, year after year, we resign ourselves to just getting by. We go to full-time jobs that we hate so we can pay the bills and put food on the table. Our minds convince us that this is the smart thing to do and that’s why everyone does it. We buy into the lie that those who can achieve their dreams are the exception and the rest of us just have to let our dreams die.
But is that really living our best lives? How do we reach our goals?
The Power of Decision Making
Do you want to know the secret of every single person who has achieved their dream? Do you want to know what separates them from you?
They made a decision.
It sounds so simple, but it’s true. They made a decision to follow their dreams and take a risk rather than keep going to the jobs they hate. As a result, they’ve created the lives they love and leave them feeling fulfilled.
When you make up your mind and dedicate yourself to your decisions, you begin the path of finding out practical ways to achieve your goals. When you do this, you’ll discover your goals aren’t as far out of reach as you think.
Following Your Intuition
You know that feeling you have inside of you that just knows you’d be happier doing something else?
People call it many things. Sometimes, it’s a calling. Many others call it their intuition.
Basically, your intuition is your inner knowing that you’ll be happier doing something else. It’s a message from you to you, guiding you on your journey. Many people who follow it find themselves happier.
That could be you.
Defeating Your Fear
But how do you know this will work?
If you’re like most people, the thought of leaving your job and stepping out on the path toward your dreams terrifies you. Many people experience that fear. In fact, it’s your body’s normal response to anything slightly risky–a safety mechanism designed to keep you safe.
Yet, just because you’re afraid doesn’t mean you’re making the wrong decision. Rather, it’s a natural response to you taking any sort of leap.
To cope with the fear, acknowledge it as a normal part of the process and then push through. Take the next steps you need in order to succeed in your new venture.
Handling the Opinions of Others
Many people ask for the opinions of those around them before they decide to follow their dreams. In some ways, this is wise. People can offer outside perspectives you may have never imagined.
Yet, often, people give advice based on what’s the least risky rather than what’s right for you. This doesn’t mean they’re ill-intentioned. They’re just trying to do their best to give you good advice.
But they don’t have to live your life. If you’re unhappy with your life and want to follow your dreams, decide today to find a way to make it work. Then, begin that path toward your ultimate success and happiness.
Ready to Make Better Decisions?
Now, you know the power of decision making to achieve your objectives.
Many people are terrified to take the risks that will lead to their ultimate happiness. Yet, when they do, they often find themselves much more satisfied than they could have imagined before.
