On this episode of The Alliance Activity podcast, Andy Albright shares why the dream matter to the team.
8 Things That Happen When You Finally Decide to Live Your Dreams ...
You'll see "IT" everywhere
Once you commit to living your dreams, the lids blinding your eyes will be lifted. A completely new world will be opened to your view. You will notice opportunities that have been in your reach all along, ones your conscious mind simply didn't pay attention to. "Selective attention" is the process of focusing on a particular object in the environment for a certain period of time. Attention is a limited resource, so selective attention allows us to tune out unimportant details and focus on what matters.
You'll Have Boundless Energy, Fueled By Purpose
"I'm reflective only in the sense that I learn to move forward. I reflect with a purpose." --Kobe Bryant
After you've crossed the threshold of decision, you will find a new wellspring of energy. You'll no longer need to rely on willpower. Willpower is garbage. It is for amateurs. It's for people still conflicted about what they want to do. Once you've moved beyond WILL and onto WHY, you no longer have to coax yourself into action. The decision has been made. Rather than focusing on defense against further damage, failure or risks, you're now on the offense.
You'll Stop Worrying About -- and Instead Anticipate -- the Future:
"Your future is as bright as your faith." -- Thomas S. Monson
Once you've made your decision to move forward, you have nothing to worry about. You are a magnet for attracting nothing buy brilliance. You're no longer chasing happiness, but rather creating happiness in others. You know success is inevitable, because you're in alignment with who you are and you like that person. You can have happiness in your life as long as you are willing to give up what you hate.
People will Enter your Life to Help You: "When the student is ready, the teacher will appear." -- Unknown
You will begin attracting the right people in your life when you start doing the work. Also, when you are on a dedicated mission, people will come to your aid to help you make it real. It begins with initiative and openness. Initiative requires you to be bold and openness requires you to remain humble. You will become a beacon of light for others when they witness the boldness in your work ethic, and the humbleness in your leaning in.
Nothing will Seem Impossible to You:
"You need to aim beyond what you are capable of. You need to develop a complete disregard for where your abilities end." -- Paul Arden
Believing something is impossible is arrogant. It was arrogant of people to believe we'd never fly. It was arrogant of people to believe we'd never put man on the moon. It was arrogant of people to believe we wouldn't have satellites in the sky guiding global communication. We don't know what we don't know. Why put a cap on what's possible? Why live in the past??? Anything and everything could happen. And being open to that fact allows you infinitely more options than those who put an invisible barrier on possibility.
Luck/Miracles will Become Commonplace:
"Shallow men believe in luck. Strong men believe in cause and effect." -- Ralph Waldo Emerson
Similarly, Bruce Springsteen said, "when it comes to luck, you make your own." Dan Sullivan said, "Luck and God favor those with good habits." When you decide to live your dreams, you start to expect radical and amazing stuff to happen. Some will call you lucky. Others will call you blessed. Whatever the case, it's your new normal defined by your work effort. Beyond this point of luck, is the point of no return called freedom. Freedom from triviality and mediocrity. No longer will you be able to engage in gossip or other destructive activities. These things simply will not make sense to you anymore, and complete focus will become your new luck and blessing.
You'll No Longer Fear Success or Wealth:
"Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure." -- Marianne Williamson
The most crippling and pervasive fear is the fear of success. Fear of success is far more dangerous than fear of failure. People fear success because of low self-esteem and feeling of not deserving it; and because it will increase what others expect of them. Fear of success shows up as: anxiety, indecision, avoidance, procrastination, and acceptance of mediocrity. But once you have a compelling vision, you will stop entertaining these thoughts. You then can start focusing on yourself and realize your success is your right, it is inevitable, and it's essential for accomplishing what you feel inspired to accomplish.
You'll Consistently Do What's Right, Even When It's Not Popular:
"100-percent commitment is easier than 98-percent commitment." -- Clayton Christensen
Most people can eat healthy for one day. Most people can be positive for a few minutes. But when things stop being fun, most people's resolve crumble. Consistency in your activity must become the evidence behind the belief in your dream. Once you justify inconsistent behaviors, you open the door to a lifetime of justifications. Making the exception the rule creates a reason to introduce new and constructive habits which will fuel your dream.
