It’s Find a Way to Do What You Dream Day!
Finding a way to do what you dream starts with you being a person of great character. Being a person of great character involves being trustworthy, being passionate and being focused.
To be trustworthy, passionate and focused, you must develop 12 core ‘champion’ traits. In the previous episode, we talked about clarifying your focus.
Today, we’re going to continue the four part series on Cool Dream Doer Rule #4: Be Focused. That brings us to the core champion trait of ENERGY.
Why should you concentrate your energy?
You can be the most energetic kid in the world, but if you don’t know how to use that energy to make your dreams happen, it doesn’t do you a lot of good. That’s why you must learn how to concentrate your energy.
When you concentrate your energy, you take action that leads you closer to your dreams instead of taking action that distracts you from living your dreams.
What is energy?
Energy is the habit of vigorous activity. When you’re energetic, you’re active, spirited and full of life.
And when you’re an energetic Dream Doer, you’re able to focus your energy to chase your dreams. You make the mental choice to overcome fatigue and take relentless physical action to do what you dream.
You accomplish the most when you act with extreme concentration and focus.
How can you concentrate your energy?
To help you concentrate your energy, answer these questions:
- What is one thing I do that excites me and makes me feel energetic?
- What three things distract me from taking the action that makes me feel energetic?
- What can I do to stop letting these things distract me from taking action that makes me feel energetic?
What can you do NOW to concentrate your energy?
Choose to be energetic right now. Do something—anything—that requires you to move. Here are some ideas for you: do 10 jumping jacks, take the trash out or go for a walk with your mom or dad.
It doesn’t matter what you do. Just DO something to get in the habit of taking energetic action.
Whatever action you take, though, concentrate only on that one action. For instance, if you choose to do jumping jacks, only think about doing jumping jacks; don’t think about taking the trash out or going for a walk while you’re in the middle of doing jumping jacks.
Focusing on only one thing at one time is how you concentrate your energy.
Concentrating your energy is a lot easier to do when you act with discipline. So next week we’ll talk more about Dream Doer Rule #4: free yourself with DISCIPLINE.
Until next time, remember that you always find a way to do what you dream when you stick to your strengths.
To Your Dreams,
Bonnie Jean
