Be ready for your break

Be alert and ready for opportunities.
 
The exciting thing about having a dream is that it may come true. But you may be so surprised when you get a chance at your dream that you are not ready to act. Prepare yourself for sudden opportunities.

In business, sports, the arts, entertainment, and almost any profession, there are "breaks"--opportunities for work that suddenly come up. To get a "break," let your network of people who know your dream grow. This may raise the probability you will get a break.

When you do get a break, be ready to take advantage of it. For example, if you are an actor, have some monologues memorized and be ready to perform them on the spot--you never know when you are going to get stuck in an elevator with a casting director.

Unleash your dream

Find a way to gain some aspects of your dream today.
For example, you might want to spend more time gardening. Designate this Saturday or your next day off from work as your gardening day. Then get up early that day and act just as if you could to that full time. Perhaps gardening full time every Saturday for several weeks will give you an insight into your dream.

When your dream truly reflects your desires, you will get up in the morning like a child at Christmas--you will barely able to contain your excitement. The converse is also true: procrastination is a warning sign that you aren't doing something close to your heart.

Have time for your dream!

Schedule time to think about your dream, set long-term and short-term goals, and plan tasks.
A dream is like a garden: you need to nurture its growth. Designate a particular time during the week for your dream. It might be during an exercise period or walk to work.

What specific things can you do to make your dream come true? Write these down as goals. Break down a major goal that may take you years to complete into short-term goals that you can accomplish regularly. Then generate daily tasks to accomplish parts of these short-term goals.

Once you have your dream statement, you have a powerful motivator. You should find that you are very anxious to complete the tasks you make to accomplish your dream.  

Gather information that will support your dream.
For example, find out about jobs in places where you want to live or internships and starting jobs in your dream profession. An opportunity to move closer to what you want might just be a matter of connecting with the right information.

Include in this information contacts with people who are living your dream. For example, want to be an actor? Perhaps there is an actor who you know. Perhaps an actor from your hometown or your local theater group who has gone on to a professional work--who will give you advice or be your mentor.
