The Time is Now

The Time Is Now

 If ever you want to reach your dreams, there’s no better time and day than to start NOW.

The steps to reach your dreams.

Dream and believe that you’d have your dreams now. It’s going to happen soon but deep in your heart, believe it’s coming true not someday---but now. If you believe your dreams are coming true now, the sooner you’re going to receive your gift for believing in your dreams.

Pray for your dreams and the things you want to do. Spend time to talk to God about your dreams. When you fear the Lord, He will shower you with knowledge and wisdom. “The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge but fools despise corrections,” the Bible reminds us. God’s wisdom through fearing Him would empower you to accomplish the things you want to do.
When you’ve finally decided what you really want to do, make a road map on how you are going to reach your dreams. In your road map, cite the specific things and ways you are going to do to get to where you want to go. 

Consistency and sticking to your life plan will make a difference. Remember one cliché that reminds us to be like a post stamp sticking to the mail until it gets to its destination. The illustration is simple. For a kid to be a doctor he must study hard; believe that he’d be a doctor. After many years of believing and studying as a student of medicine, he would eventually be a doctor. If ever a person wants to be a doctor and on his way to becoming a doctor, he encounters problems, difficulties, challenges and lots of things to study and memorize; to pay and processes to undergo through—he gives up. He eventually shifts course. He can’t be a doctor.
Think: The time is now to believe and act on the fulfillment of your dreams. You must use your head, not your heart when it comes to your dreams. Many people were not able to have their dreams come true for falling in love. 

Keep reminding yourself. Too much thinking will lead you to destruction. To have focus, always remind yourself using notes, boards and stickers.

Nutrition is another thing we must not forget. Many people work hard but they tend to forget giving enough nourishment to their body. So the body becomes weak-- or suffering or even up to the point of getting hospitalized. Along with nourishing your body, you must take time to relax and exercise. You must consistently do all these things. You must not also abuse your body of too much working. You must be aware that there are also diseases that go with working too hard. Cancer due to stress is one of the worst diseases you might have—should you ignore this warning.
You must not live by bread alone is a reminder from Jesus that your body will soon die so you must also feed your soul. And you do that by reading the Bible. You must nourish your soul as well. 
Begin with an end in mind. Start and finish the things you do.
Most of the people are trapped in problems or of things that hinder their growth. Here are some of the hindrances to reaching one’s dreams.

No faith at all. If you have faith in God—and faith in your dreams, soon you’d have what you believe in. The Bible reminds that if you just have a faith like that of a seed of mustard, you can have what you want especially if it’s for something good and Godly. If it’s evil, sooner or later, your plans and dreams would be destroyed. Our God is an awesome and powerful God. He can do anything in favor of you once He gets pleased of your life.

Vices. Addiction to something hinders you to grow. If you can’t stop yourself from doing something that’s making yourself less productive, you are just wasting your life spending time in them. What are your vices? Your decision to stay away from them will make a difference. If you can’t stay away from Facebook knowing it’s consuming most of your time and energy, why not give it a quit? Youths would usually think more on love—in having love life for they think it’s making them feel whole. But it’s the other way around. They feel less loved because of focusing too much on love with the opposite sex. Youths should think that their days should be spent in improving themselves. This is their time and chance to explore the things that could give them good future. Youths should study; go to churches where salvation through Christ and God’s love are being taught.

Laziness. Being successful needs hard work. If you want to be more successful, you have to be more hard working. “A lazy person should not eat.” It’s what’s written in the Bible.

Procrastinations. If you can do it now, don’t say, “I’ll do it later.”
Lack of vision. Having no vision of what you want to have, what you want to be, where you want to go is another problem. If the vision of your dreams is clear, I am sure your days are going to be full of hard work and perseverance. Someone who wants to build his or her body-built well would surely be in the gym for more hours trying to lift even hard objects in the gym. Someone who just wants to be known for being in the gym always-- is another thing. He/She will have different result. A poorer one.

Lack of education. You must be educated in the things you want to go into. A person who wants to have fishball business should be knowledgeable in making delicious fishball and sauce. He/She must know where to get capitalization. Where to situate his business. Is it enough for him/her to have just one stall? The business would flourish depending on the businessman’s vision, training and education. Education is not always the thing you do wherein you have to go to school. Educating yourself is just simply making yourself knowledgeable in something you really want to do. 

Circle of Influence. The people around you also help or break you. You must choose who you want to be with. They affect your decision making. They may also inspire or pull you down. Some people are so determined and focused with their dreams that no one could change their decisions and plans that make them successful. “Blessed is the man who walks not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor stands in the way of sinners, nor sits in the seat of scoffers,” Psalm 1:1 reminds us.

Lack of wisdom. God may confuse you to bring you into despair and hopelessness, into defeat and failure for not obeying Him. For being hard-headed. For being rebellious. Psalm 1:1-6. “Blessed is the man who walks not in the counsel of the wicked nor stands in the way of sinners nor sits in the seat of the scoffers. But his delight is in the Law of the Lord and in His Law, he meditates day and night. He shall be like a tree that’s planted by the streams of water that yields his fruits in its season and its leaf does not wither and whatever he does shall prosper. The wicked are not so but are like the chaff which the wind drives away.” 

Lack of action. It’s easy to dream but the problem is, “Do you act for the fulfillment of your dreams?”

Lack of focus. Nowadays, there is too much destruction that hinders you to do what you are supposed to be doing. If you’d just focus, you’d discover that there are many things you could actually accomplish. The morning you wake up, what do you do first? Christians are expected to pray, read the Bible and reflect on the 
Word of God before anything else. The same routine is still applicable before sleeping. 

Finishing one thing at a time will help you to accomplish many things in the end. Nowadays, since you want to do many things, you don’t finish them all. You just start them.  

ACT NOW!

TO GOD BE THE GLORY!
