Any great adventure whether it is personal, financial, romantic or spiritual starts with an idea. That’s what all the successful people say: “Take the idea that motivates you most and work on it.”

What are the tools that suit you best in this quest for achieving your dream?

We have a large range of tools in the personal development field. We can use motivational books, NLP, self-hypnosis, Emotional Intelligence, sessions with a coach and other. But is it all we can do?

My Taoist master was always saying: “When you do ‘a thing’ you’d better put your mind into it, put your heart into it, put your soul and your spirit into it.”

So, with the techniques named above you will use in your journey only the mind or only the heart – that is only one part or maximum two parts of your entire potential.  Instead, you could work with your entire being. That is, you would have at least 5 to10 times more chances to succeed.

Why should this be a better path than any other?

Every current teaching that addresses only the power of the mind, or only the power of the heart ignores a basic truth. You are as strong as healthy your body is. Do you think you can move towards your dream with stones or holes in your shoes?

[You can, at a certain moment of your journey, make great sacrifices in order to see your idea becoming reality, but those sacrifices are possible only after you have hardened yourself during the journey, and so, when the time requires, your are prepared.]

To be willing to move the mountains is a great thing and you’ll need a strong mind and a strong heart to succeed. But let us not forget that the mind and the heart are located inside our body. And the ability to receive proper information from the surroundings, objects or humans, is directly related to the health of your body.

How far can you see, run or shoot, without a good pair of eyes or lungs? When you want to climb a mountain, besides a fit body you need sharp eyes in order to see where you put your feet and to admire the beautiful landscapes. You’ll also need good lungs in order to be able to provide your body with enough oxygen and to be able to shout out loud your happiness.

While these are the external benefits of a good health, let’s also have a look inside. We think with our brains. No matter the place where ideas and dreams start, the road for achieving our goals runs through our minds. I’m talking about the place where neurons join their synapses, altogether creating new paths and maps. We’ll use those new maps literally to achieve what we want. But what happens if our body’s chemistry is a little out of balance? Well, if we don’t get enough rest, (clean) food, (clean) air, (clean) water we’ll soon have large quantities of waste in our cells. And we won’t have enough nutrients to feed the cells of our brain. So the new synapses just won’t have enough energy, enough food to pursue the new paths that our brain will form. Not to mention that in a body full of acid toxins our cells will start to melt, that is we’ll loose neurons and other extremely important cells. Or, in a different perspective the chemical signals sent between different parts of the body will be lost.

So, if you are about to start the journey of turning your dream into reality you better be sure that you are also healthy. Just like the roman poet Juvenal said, almost 1900 years ago, in his Satire [X]: “Mens sana in corpore sano.”

A blog post by Mark Foo on Pickthebrain.com:

Being a big dreamer doesn’t mean that you walk around with your head in the clouds. It means that you’re seeking a purpose for your life and it means that you’re becoming fulfilled in the process.

People that get into the habit of dreaming big will accomplish those goals because they have the right mindset. You need to look at life with the perspective that you can achieve anything that’s possible. If you can accomplish big dreams, why wouldn’t you go after them? Why would you want to settle for small dreams?

See here a list of reasons why you should be a big dreamer.

Then there are the mindsets, which one can shortly describe this way: “Whether you think you can change things or not, you are right.” Have you ever heard this before? In her book called Mindset: The New Psychology of Success, Carol S. Dweck discusses two fundamental mindsets that people tend to adopt, the “fixed” mindset and the “growth” mindset. According to her, people who adopt the fixed mindset believe that “we live lives mainly determined by heredity and that most of our attributes are, if not carved in stone, largely resistant to efforts to modify them”. Those with a growth mindset “see themselves and their lives as amenable to choices and effort. They are not wishful thinkers who think that simply believing something is possible is enough to make it happen. Growth mindset individuals are willing to make the effort required to bring about their goals and to realize their dreams.”

These concepts are some interesting tools one can use in order to redesign our futures. How so?

First of all, in order to change a thing you have to be aware about the fact that that thing exists. So start by acknowledging the existence of the default future. Then, based on what your daily actions, thoughts, fears, doubts are, envisage your default future. What does it look like? Is it something you want to keep or rather cut and start fresh?

Then, play a little bit with your mindset. What’s the category you fall in? Make sure you are sure that the change is possible.

On the third step erase everything: remorse, feelings of guilt, of pride, prejudices. Imagine you have a piece of paper with a drawing on it. Then, imagine you draw something another over that initial drawing. What would your masterpiece look like? In order to have a beautiful, accurate drawing you should have a clean piece of paper, right? Think of the masterpiece as your life. Make a cleaning first, then start designing your future.

Now you have the positive mindset of a powerful person. You have a clean space on which you can build. Fill it up wisely. Dream big and beautifully. Dream your most desirable future. Action ambitiously upon your dreams!

I am Vlad – one of the founders of Trigwee – and I’ve already spent 19 million minutes of my life. I am writing to you as a big fan of life. By the way, did you know that, on average, a person lives around 34 million minutes?

When there’s millions left to be spent, you tend to think: “Oh well, that’s enough for almost anything”. Enough to enjoy, experience, achieve. I believe that it’s not so simple.

Not all the minutes that I’ve spent were happy. We spend minutes killing our dreams. We spend minutes ignoring how powerful and inspiring we can be. We spend minutes reacting and not creating.

That’s why I’ve started investing and stopped spending. I now invest in designing and living my dreams. Even though I haven’t yet designed them all, I have a long list of dreams I want to live.

Why would you invest in your dreams?

• Because life is great and you want to enjoy it;
• You want to be the player and not the witness of the game;
• You don’t want to be alone, but rather together in your most ambitious dreams;

What would you get by investing in your dreams?

• Meaningful conversations with the people that share your dreams;
• People wanting to fulfill your dreams;
• A safe and positive space where you can share your dreams;

Curious how you can get all these instantly?
It’s simple: Create a new dream to achieve and step into a new life right now http://www.trigwee.com/dream/create

PS: If you’re not into investing, I can understand that. Keep spending, but spend wisely at least: it takes a minuscule amount of your time to create a new dream to achieve. Every minute is important.

Suddenly, I realized how lucky I was to have my parents alive and to actually know their dreams. Not everybody has this opportunity. So, I decided immediately to support them in achieving their dreams. I’m very grateful to have this chance and if you still have it, I really want you to feel what I’ve felt when discovering my parents’ dreams. If you don’t have this possibility anymore, just help people you love to live their dreams. It’s like a blessing.

On my birthday, I told my parents that I want to help them to achieve one of their dreams. They almost started to cry and they assured me that even if I wouldn’t succeed in achieving any of them, they’d be very grateful that I had thought of them in that way. They also told me that they love me a lot. I love them very much, too.

And there’s an irony in the whole story: I have never thought to do this simple but meaningful action before Trigwee. I’m sharing with you my experience and I’m happy that a lot of people will have the possibility to know and to stay tuned to their parents’ dreams with the help of the tool that we’ve created.

Enjoy achieving your own, your friends’ and your family’s dreams!

Spread the news to all those who care about knowing you dreams and sharing their own with you.

“What do you do if you have a dream, but everyone around you keeps telling you to be more realistic and to give up the dream? What if they want you to pursue a more “sensible” and traditional career route?

You ignore them. You shut out the naysayers, and you stay focused on your dream.”

Here’s a little preview of the post:

Our dreams and desires define us. Be they broken, scarcely remembered, on the verge of reality, or in full bloom. They pilot our choices. Dreams have the power to shape the entire landscape of our lives. Because they tend to be so precious and potent, many people keep their dreams and aspirations to themselves.

Further in the post Danielle LaPorte describes how things would be if you knew what someone’s dreams are. But I’m saying nothing more, I’ll let you discover on your own what is all about: http://whitehottruth.com/white-hot/wonder-what-their-dream-is/.

Enjoy, dream and rock!

While reading a blog post on Personalitatea Alfa, I had this revelation and I decided to share it with you. Pera Novacovici, the author of the post, was saying: “It is a well known fact that we are the average of our group concerning social health, success, happiness. We talk, we act and we have the same ideals as those around us.”

Photo by Vlad Stan

True, we can’t change the place we were born, our parents, we can’t even influence the choice of the first school we have attended and all these things are a base for who we are today, but at least, when we grow up, we can make our own choices. We have the power to change our role models, our way of thinking, our sources of inspiration and also our groups. That’s how the average I was talking about earlier in this post, can be increased or decreased.

Now, about Trigwee. It is a place where people share their dreams, those things that they consider they have to make a change in better in order to achieve. So naturally, it is an aspirational environment. Spending time here, you’ll become yourself a person who wants to make a change in better in his own environment and has the courage to do it.

So, good luck at being fascinating and happy!
