Motivation Tips

Follow Your Passion
By:Dennis Andrew

These beliefs successfully stop us from dreaming, or focusing on our passion, thus not even allowing the opportunity to consider their possibility.This is about your dream. Let's get to the point.

I am Dennis Andrew, founder of NNOS Studios. My mission is to cause people to follow their dreams regardless of the resistance they face. I will accomplish this by suggesting a slightly different perspective on what your dreams or passions actually are, and the consequences for not following them.

First, any dream regardless of how insane it may seem, can be turned into a goal. And frankly, any goal can be achieved. Let's get very clear on what a goal really is: a goal is a dream that has been scheduled for arrival. A dream becomes a goal when you set a time limit for its acquisition, and you determine to get it so strongly, that no person or circumstance stepping in your way can sway you from your purpose. Nothing can resist a will that will stake even existance upon its fulfillment.

...because goals are a point of destination for our brains. Soak in that for a minute. Setting a goal is setting a point of destination for your brain, just like entering an exact address in a GPS.

If goals are a point of destination for our brains, then don't be fooled: if you have no point of destination, it doesn't matter how good or how fast you are, you're still getting nowhere. The brain only let's you see what it is looking for, regardless of what you want to be looking for. In fact, we only do 4 percent what we desire to do, and 96 percent what we're conditioned to do. Our conditioning is our beliefs, and most of us are conditioned to run like heck with no real point of destination. We are programmed to get up and go to work, doing something that pays the bills. Because we're conditioned this way, we don't even stop to question it at all...These beliefs successfully block out our consideration of the possibility to have our dream life.These beliefs successfully block out our consideration of the possibility to have our dream life.

Not only is it possible for everyone, life becomes a waste if we don't achieve it. Here's the piece: "your dream is the talent that YOU have particularly high potential to excel in. Your passion is your unique skill." Use it.

Let me give you an analogy. Your friend has a 550 horsepower Ferrari and it's a beautiful car. The only problem is, he only uses it to get his mail and his mailbox is at the end of his driveway. When Enzo Ferrari made that car, that's not what he had in mind. Sounds insane doesn't it? Well we were designed AROUND a specific passion. You were made to followyour dreams, because your dream is your calling. The Ferrari was made to race, to drive at very high speeds on exciting courses. You're not made to have a job...just doing something. You're made to work within your dreams, "because that's what you do best." The Ferrari is still doing "something" by taking your friend to his mailbox and back, but it is now evident that the Ferrari is a waste of design, of engineering, if it is not going to be doing what it's made to do.

The consequence for not following your dreams or passions, is not only a statistical waste, but it results in unhappiness. Rightfully so. You're putting your potential on a leash JUST BECAUSE YOU DON'T BELIEVE THAT YOU CAN HAVE IT! You're conforming to culture. This literally means you're letting society tell you what you are capable of doing. The solution is to learn how to change your beliefs. If you don't you are only another case of history repeating itself. The good new is that it's very possible if you don't give up. The bad news is that it's difficult and it takes some time. But it's only difficult in the short run. After that, you're living the dream.

I will include a link in my bio to one of the motivational presentations I had on this topic. I speak often on setting goals and have helped many many people achieve their dreams. My goal is to point you there also...because you'll reach the person that I can't reach, and it will spread from there.

To your success,
