Are you going after your dreams and goals? If not, why? I've talked with several people recently who are not going after their dreams or taking action on their ideas for one reason or another. The lists of reasons go on and on! I don't have the money; I don't have enough time; I don't have a website; I don't know if anyone will pay for my service; I need to incorporate or register my business first; I'm waiting for the kids to grow up; I don't know what step to take first; I need to get a computer first; As I said, the list goes on and on.

I've used some of these reasons myself in the past. What I realized is that, for me, they were just excuses. They were just reasons that I thought would be acceptable answers to why I wasn't going after my dreams. Over the years, I learned that the real reasons for not moving forward on my dreams were much deeper, like lacking confidence or for whatever reason, just having a belief that I couldn't do it.

There are many success stories of people who started their businesses with no money and very little time. However, because they were passionate about their dreams, goals and ideas, they didn't let anything stop them. If you really break down the reasons why you are not going after your dreams and goals, you may find that the reasons are deeper than you think.

While the reasons mentioned above may seem true, they don't have to stop you from your dreams and goals. Know that anything is possible! You really can do whatever you set your mind to do. Remember, you already have the potential for success; now is the time to unleash it! If you have many reasons why you can't do something, realize that there are just as many reasons why you should do that particular thing and just as many ways that it can be done, especially in these days and times.

Your challenge is to come up with reasons why you can succeed! Make a list of 20 reasons.

I will succeed with my dream, goal or business idea because:

1. _____________________________; 2. _____________________________; etc.

"Always bear in mind that your own resolution to succeed is more important than any other." -- Abraham Lincoln

"When your determination changes, everything will begin to move in the direction you desire. The moment you resolve to be victorious, every nerve and fiber in your being will immediately orient itself toward your success. On the other hand, if you think, "This is never going to work out," then at that instant every cell in your being will be deflated and give up the fight. Then everything really will move in the direction of failure." -- Daisaku Ikeda

"People rarely succeed unless they have fun in what they are doing." -- Dale Carnegie
