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. So last week, we talked about the third part of being trustworthy and the character trait of LEADERSHIP.
When you live with integrity, depend on your consistency, and lead by example, you are ready to act with WISDOM. That’s why today’s post is all about wisdom.
Why should you act with wisdom?
You should act with wisdom because taking wise action brings you closer to your goals, not farther from them. Acting with wisdom also helps you be a leader people respect, develop consistent habits and stay true to your values.
What is wisdom?
Wisdom is combining what you know, what you have experienced, what you understand to be true and what you feel to be true (your instincts) to figure out the right actions for you to take.
It’s important for you to consider ALL FOUR of these areas when setting goals. If you ignore one of them, you risk making the wrong decisions that will lead to wrong actions and negative results.
Plus the ability to make good, positive, wise decisions that you can trust is how you become a solid, dependable leader.
How can you act with wisdom?
To help you act with wisdom, consider these five questions when setting goals:
- What do I know about this goal?
- What experience do I have hitting a goal like this? (By the way, it’s okay if you don’t have any experience; just start taking action toward your dreams, and you’ll soon have all kinds of cool experience with goal setting!)
- What do I understand about this goal?
- What do my instincts tell me about this goal?
- Based on what I know, have experienced, understand and feel, what action should I take?
What can you do NOW to act with wisdom?
Practice acting with wisdom by setting a goal and asking yourself the five “wise” questions to help you determine what action to take toward that goal. Then take the action that shows how wise you are!
By thinking about what you are going to do with all your goals and acting with wisdom, you can find a way to do what you dream.
But to do what you dream, you also need to be passionate. That’s why next week’s episode is all about Dream Doer Rule #3: express your PASSION.
Until next time, remember that you always find a way to do what you dream when you stick to your strengths.
To Your Dreams,
