Hi guys. Welcome back to Karo’s little corner !! I am always so happy to write for you. I hope everyone is feeling great despite being quarantined. Don’t forget to wash your hands, and please stay inside!Don’t forget to like, comment and share my article if you think it’s helpful.
Today I’ll be sharing with you some tips on how to achieve your goal. I know that a lot of y’all have something they really want to achieve. Some have started and had given up, others have started and have failed along the way. Have you ever wondered why you haven’t been able to reach that goal? Well this article will help you understand what you need to do in order to get to where you want to be.
So these past two weeks my blog’s activity has been booming💯🙊. I’ve been getting a lot of positive feedbacks on my articles. A lot of people said that I’ve inspired them in one way or another. These comments have gone straight to my heart😭❤and I hope that I’ll continue to inspire you guys.
Before we start : Do you have a goal, something you really want to do?👀 Whether it’s a business, a hair care activity, a blog, a youtube channel, a clothing line 🤷🏽♀️etc….. Have you launched it already? If no, what are you waiting for🧐??Why are you hesitating🤔?? Is it fear? Well don’t worry, this article is going help you turn your dream into a reality🤗🤩.
“Living your dreams isn’t easy. It takes persistence and tenacity, along with faith in yourself, in God and in the vision He has given you” .Jentezen Franklin.
Here are the few steps you need to take in order to pursue your dream and turn it into reality✨
When pursuing your dream, go with the most realistic and accessible one…..
1. Find your dream💡. First thing first, you need to know what you wanna do. While reading this article, I want you to think of one thing you really want to do. Once you find it, the best thing you can do is take a piece of paper or a blank notebook and write it down📝. As an activity during the quarantine, everyday you should take that piece of paper or the notebook and write ideas related to that dream. Don’t chose something because everyone else is doing it🚫. Be creative! Don’t go with the flow! It’s okay to get out of your comfort zone. Chose one thing that you will have fun doing. As long as you are passionate about something, no one can stop you🗣. You are the only person who knows what you want to do and where you want to be. There are some people who don’t have a dream or don’t know how to find one. In order to find your dream, I’d suggest you to ask yourself what is one thing you cannot stop thinking about? Something that brings you happiness. If the genie from Aladdin came right now and ask you for three wishes and those wishes have to be something you want to do, what would they be? It’s okay if you don’t know right away.
2. Be dedicated to one dream📌: Sometimes we want to mix our dreams and do all of them at the same time. IT WILL NEVER WORK🗣🗣. Stick to one thing. You’re not in a rush. Although life is short, wouldn’t you rather die knowing you have fulfilled one dream instead of dying with regrets because you had multiple dreams and did not fulfil one?🤷🏽♀️ If you’re a multitasking person in real life, trust me when it comes to following your dream it’s never that easy. You cannot put your focus on multiple dreams at the same time. There are two outcomes : you might start with all of them at the same time and fail👎🏾 or you might become overwhelmed and eventually you’ll give up. So once you find a dream; that’s it go for it. Run after it!🏃🏽♀️You can achieve all your dreams but you should focus on one at a time.

3. Don’t limit yourself⛔. The sky’s the limit guys. BELIEVE IN YOURSELF!!! I’ve read in a book that sometimes we are our own dream’s assassin. What I mean by that is that even though we really want to achieve the goal, by doubting ourselves we become our dream’s assassin. I’m a firm believer of “you need to take a chance”. It’s okay to take a chance and to fail. Failure is what makes us stronger💪🏾. Once you fail, get up and try again🔄. At least now you’ll know what you should and shouldn’t do.
4. Be consistent👌🏾 : Once you have started pursuing your dream, even when things get rough you shouldn’t stop. You might take a little break but don’t stop. If you have a blog, a youtube channel, or an IG page, you need to keep the post coming. Otherwise you might lose not only your audience but the sparks and happiness you’ve felt in the early days. When I started this blog I didn’t know that I’d have an audience🙊. I love to write and I thought it was just a good opportunity to write more. Even though school is hard and I don’t really have time, I still try to publish an article every week. Surprisingly, the subjects are easy to find and I just write with my heart. Like I said, once you’re passionate about what you do, the ideas will rain on you🍾🌦. So don’t worry about finding a good subject or a great topic for your channel. It’s how you deliver it that’ll matter🙌🏾. The current post might not be as good as the last but believe in yourself. The next one will top all of them. Finding the dream is one thing but you need to work everyday so you can achieve it.
5. Track your progress📊📈⏳ : It’s important to know how far you’ve come and where you are now. Even in life in general, you need to know where you stand. Review what have gone wrong but also what you need to keep on doing. The best way to track your progress is to have a checklist and to write down every single goal📝. Once you’ve achieved them, just put a check mark☑️. It’s kind of like a bucket list. It will help you not only plan better but also organize your ideas so that you’re not all over the place. For example, if you have a blog and there are multiple topics that you want to talk about, write them down and assign each one to a different week🗓. That way let’s say for April, you will have 4 subjects for the next four weeks. After each publication, all you need to do is cross the topic of your list. Each check mark should be considered as a victory🏅.
6. Do not compare yourself to others. ATTENTION⚠️⚠️⚠️. You are YOU. No one else is you. Focus on your goals and don’t mind anything else. If you compare yourself to others then we’ll have to go back to step #2 : do not doubt yourself. If you have 200 views on your channel and X has 1k, it’s okay. You can inspire those 200 people and turn them into 200 subscribers and that’s all that matters. The more views does not mean that the content is better. Comparison can be a source of motivation but it can also destroy your sense of self worth⚠️. The thing is, as humans, we mostly compare ourselves to the other person’s strength and not their weakness and that’s why it’s destructive. If you compare yourself to someone else, you will never be happy😪. Once that happens you’ll give up and your dream will be crushed no matter how close you are to achieving it. Compare yourself to you and only you. Challenge yourself to do better and be better❤.
Sometimes our dreams come unexpectedly. For example, I’ve always wanted a website. Not just a blog but a whole website because I was obsessed with photography and I thought that I should have a website where I would not only showcase my work but also talk about my experience in each places I’ve captured. A few months ago, I’ve been chosen to be part of my school’s journal and we have decided that now, the school’s journal would be like a blog. Since I am the Director, I decided to create the blog on WordPress. While doing so, I accidentally used my email and created the blog on my name. I was surprised but something inside of me just said go for it since it’s something that I’ve always wanted. I did it and at first I was afraid to share it even with my friends. The funny thing was that after I had created the blog, I didn’t even know how to use it. But with a little help from youtube, I’m getting better at it day by day. Now I’m totally in love with my page. It’s my little corner and I know that God used this experience as a signal to tell me “this is your dream; this is what you should be doing “….Although I have other dreams but now I’m only focusing on this one.
Remember guys, having a blog, a youtube channel or a business…. isn’t necessarily the dream. They are the tool that you’ll need to master in order to fulfill your dream. Don’t give up! Be patient and work hard. One day you’ll be considered as a source of inspiration and that’s my dream personally❤
