Some folks say “I hope it happens”. Well, what is “it”? And what has to happen in order for “it” to happen? And how can you impact that? Increase its probability? What is your plan to MAKE it happen? I’m all for optimism and I sincerely believe that hope for a better world is a wonderful thing but as far as what I WANT to happen, particularly in my personal life, I’m getting up every morning and MAKING it happen.
A hope, a goal, without an action plan is just a dream, doomed to fade in the bright light of day. Dreams are WONDERFUL, a terrific starting point, just don’t stop there, don’t spend your life just dreaming and wishing. Wake up, work hard, MAKE it happen. What concrete actions will you take TODAY to make a hope a reality? And how will you follow up tomorrow? And the day after?
