How to Live the Life of Your Dreams
by Noel Swanson
Tell me, would you get on a bus, train, or aeroplane without first
checking if it is going to the destination you had in mind?
Yet every day, 95% of ordinary, otherwise intelligent, people do just that!
What do I mean by that? Well, let's take a fly-on-the-wall look at Mr. Joe B. Average
buying a aeroplane ticket:
Travel Agent: Good Morning. Where would you like to fly to?
Joe: Well, I don't want to be here. I'd like to be someplace better.
T.A. Where did you have in mind, sir?
Joe: Don't know, really, just so long as it is better than here. [casts
his eyes around and spots a poster on the wall] How about China? That sounds nice.
T.A. China? Okay, sir, which city in china?
Joe: Well, if I just went to China, I could figure it out then,
couldn't I?
T.A. Well, it's a very large place, sir. I know, I could do you a
ticket for tomorrow, to Shanghai, for $900. Would that do, sir?
Joe: Hmm. It's a bit expensive. Can't I get there for free? What about
India instead? [sees a bus pulling up outside] Wait a minute... How about I just
get on that bus, there? It looks like a nice bus, and it might take me where I want to
go...
And so on...
Does that sound ludicrous? Can't imagine anyone, never mind 95% of people doing that?
Yet I bet you have done it yourself (I know I have!) - and most likely you still do.
I am talking about LIFE of course. You see, the vast majority of people have no clear
idea of what they want from life, when they want it, how they will get it, or what they
are prepared to sacrifice to get it.
And so most people just get on the nearest bus (read job, training course, marriage,
lifestyle) and hope that, somehow, it will take them towards their dreams. They don't even
look at the front of the bus to see where it is going!
And then they wonder why the ended up in Dead End Lane.
Which bus are you on? Does it go where you want it to go? Do you even know where
you want to go? Or do you just have some vague notion of "escaping this dead end
job" and becoming "rich and free"?
It's not hard to achieve your dreams. Plenty of ordinary people, just like you and me,
do it. You can do it too.
All it takes is to follow some very simple steps. I call them the 7 Steps to Freedom.
Answering these questions is the first (and probably the biggest) step of them all.
So, you now have a choice: will you go back to your comfy sofa and switch on the TV, or
will you take ACTION and seize hold of your future life? Get out a pen and some paper and
write down all your dreams and aspirations. Do it, now.
