Follow Your Dreams
After you latch on to your star, begin to FOCUS. Since your goal is far away, you have a lot of thinking to do; a lot of questioning; a lot of planning; a lot of preparation. Many times a person will look at someone like Tom Hanks and think that he’s lucky making millions per film. That person did not see the DECADES of struggle that Tom had to go through to eventually be worth millions in the marketplace. All of that is UNSEEN to the public, but Tom and his family know quite well about the struggles that were necessary along the way.
How did Tom, who dressed in drag in a sitcom called Bosom Buddies, become one of the top actors of all-time? My guess is by FOCUSING on his long-term goals. While Tom was dressed up as a woman, you can bet that his mind was FOCUSED on someday being more than a clown and perhaps being a serious actor who could be making movies like Forrest Gump and Apollo 13.
But in order to become a professional and polished actor, you have to first master scenes in Bosom Buddies. It would be very hard to dispute that Tom Hanks is not one of the most polished actors around. Thus, Bosom Buddies and everything that Tom did before he hit the big time was not done in vain. It served its purpose. Nature is no dummy.
On the way to your BIG TIME, whatever it is, be prepared to do your version of Bosom Buddies. But like Tom Hanks, stay FOCUSED on your version of Forrest Gump. If you don’t quit, you’ll get there, and then start to hear people calling YOU lucky. But you and your family will know what it took to make it.
The inability to stay FOCUSED on a goal is a major reason why so many never realize their dreams. Throughout your life, you’ve most likely heard the phrases, “Dream big dreams,” or “Follow your dreams,” or “You can become anything you want in your life.” So why do so many NOT become what they want in their lives? Are these just things that you SAY? The answer is NO! They are all very true. You just have to stay FOCUSED on your end result. If you can do so, you’ll make these popular sayings become a reality in your life.
