When I was a little girl I asked myself and God how can I get there. I would go outside and look up the stars and the dreams were so far away that it seems just a dream in my little head. Oh those beautiful nights I will again, look up on the silent dark night and I would think how could I reach to that country that is filled with riches and great opportunities for anyone.

I would ask my mother
Mom, How can I go to the US? How much money will it cost? My mother was quiet and after a few minutes she would reply. We do not have money to send you and your father can not save enough for that trip. But Mom I said “ I dream everyday of going there” Why can God do a miracle for me? Sometimes, the reality is harsh. Yes, I did not have money and my dream would stay as a dream if I just follow the reality of averages. Yes, averages are the common rule for everyone.

To dream and convert that dream into reality you must step up from the average ways and design your way to get your dream come true. Yes, you can use conventional ways such an education, and job experience to grow up the latter in a corporate world or use your own ways to create a new path to success. It is called entrepreneurship! When you dream and no action follows, it will stay a dream because the bridge between dream and reality are actions or steps follow in a planned or entrepreneurial way to accomplish results or goals that propels to your final destination.

So if you want to convert your dreams into reality you must.
1-Define that dream
2-List two pathways to achieving it.
3-Select the road that will most likely give you the best result.
4-Follow with actions
5-Stick to the plan or make adjustments as needed without leaving your main goal.
6-If you fail, do it again either by making a new change or following a new lead.
7-Get around positive people and mentors who are willing to help or encourage to stay on your dream.
8-Every time you conquer a step, share with someone you trust to be further encourage.
9-Once you reach your dream, make another one and follow the same road.
10-After you achieve 3 of your dreams, share with someone your success and keep it going and more dreams will realized.

In this way, we will leave the average living and enter that special and happy living called the success story that we hear about but it is not our because we did not follow two rules. Action and endurance to get to the final line.
