Cultivate Dreams and Personal Projects

“Life is not only made of work, goals and businesses. Your career must be full of new aspirations, something that will bring you happiness when you are not working. Now it’s time to take care of you as a dreamer and achiever”.

The words above were mentioned by the lecturer and writer Araújo, and are part of the article “Cultivate Dreams and Personal Projects”, that the author sent exclusively to Top Team. Araújo says that “having a dream is good for the soul, it makes us have a goal, it’s a huge feeling of making difference and helping other people.”

In order to cultivate dreams and be successful, Araújo, who is the author of “Let your talent rise – essential hints for your career”, gives some hints. Follow the article below:

Have a plan B. Are you ready to lose your job or to have something in your life changed radically? Or to retire? What is your plan B? What are your personal projects? Have something in hands in order to get ahead professionally. Perhaps it does not happen soon but when we have other plans in mind, opportunities come up and they must be taken into consideration.

Do good deeds. Be a little altruist and think about helping people more effectively. Try voluntary work. Get to know care centers with your family. Start to include good values in your children´s lives and in your own´s. You will start to see things from a different point of view and to value who you are and what you have. 

Gie away. Giving is not just related to money. You may give away a little of your time, knowledge and what you no longer use. The main thing is not to accumulate lots of unnecessary things and what you no longer use. Sometimes, to make a great dream come true we have to get rid of several things, what is much easier when we don’t care about them.

That´s your dream. There isn´t a dream bigger than another. Each dream is personal. Do you dream about having a yatch? Sponsoring a day care center? OK, go ahead. That´s your dream and nobody else’s. Make your dream come true honestly and ethically, that’s what really matters. Each one has their own dream. Do not criticize other person´s dreams.

Your dream feeds enthusiasm. Enthusiasm is the power that makes us do what seemed to be impossible. It is a real power released only when we really want something. Your dreams feed such enthusiasm. Your dream is the beginning of everything. It is the power that moves feelings and wishes. A person without a dream is a person with little or no enthusiasm at all. Dream illuminates life. 

Win a big gift. Here’s a suggestion: how about writing down your dreams? Make them become a project and maybe reality. Dreaming just for dreaming leads nowhere. Careers change according to your aspirations. Making dreams come true is possible for a few.  It’s the biggest present we can give ourselves. It doesn’t matter the dream, what matters is what you are doing to make it true. Your life deserves this gift.

Being able to dream stimulates creativity. Imagining, flying away with out thoughts is a gift given by God to us, human beings.  Something that cannot be wasted. A dream must be part of your career as well as planning and techniques to make it true. Dream is the beginning of everything. Dreams are sharpened as we make them come true. Our life makes sense due to our dreams. Dream and dream high! You, your life and your career deserve the best. Believe it!
