"Dream, Dream, Dream! Conduct these dreams into thoughts, and then transform them into action."
- Dr. A. P. J. Abdul Kalam

When we dream big, we have to be prepared to face reality head-on and figure things out. Even if daydreaming is amazing, you have to be prepared to take action. People have many different ambitions, such as having a fantastic career, a beautiful wife and kids, the life of their dreams, the body type they want, etc. People have dreams of many kinds, but very few of us get to realize them. It is no wonder the world is separated into the “haves” and “have-nots”. It’s not really about destiny most time. What is destiny by the way? It’s what you make of your life. Circle the word “you” and ponder on it. Your life is really in your hands.
Decisions Are Secondary to Actions ~

Notice how the team approached building the skyscraper: they collaborated, strategized, and took it one step at a time. Don't overwhelm yourself with unattainable goals; start small, stay realistic, and build momentum gradually. Your progress should match your capabilities - focus on steady growth without burning out too soon.
You Must Be Heart-Wise ~ A 'Doer'

There is an endless chance that you will experience failures for every success you might hope to achieve. There will be very good reasons to pause and do a U-turn on certain days. However, you must push past those cravings and emerge from the cave. Our emotions and spiritual attributes—all of which we could argue define what makes us most human—come from the heart. Therefore, to be brave means to reach out and connect with our humanity, which enables us to look beyond ourselves and take on challenging tasks for the benefit of others or in support of moral values.
Action inspires confidence ~

Courage and confidence are bred by action. Avoid thinking about fear when you're at home if you wish to overcome it. Step outside and engage in activities. The reason this is so crucial is that as you move closer to your objective and begin to accomplish your goals, you become more at ease and self-assured in your capacity to deal with any challenges you face. Sitting there and hoping for something better to happen is so simple. We've all had days when we're worn out and dejected and all we want is for someone to hold our hand and guide us toward the next best course of action; we simply want someone to make things simple for us. However, ease does not bring contentment. Furthermore, nobody is coming to your aid. In life, you receive what you put in. Additionally, once you decide to start acting and doing something, inertia begins to work in your favor as you gain momentum.
"An object in motion tends to stay in motion, and rest tends to stay at rest." This idea applies to tangible items as much as it does to your life. As you begin to act, you find yourself motivated to take on more and more tasks. Ideas will begin to flow, energy will be released, and it will appear as though the entire might of the universe is working in your favor. But the first step in anything is to act.
Action overrides fear ~

Fear is a common thing when it comes to our biggest dreams and goals. Often we’re afraid because we can’t see the whole path before us, we don’t know exactly how we’re going to get from here to there, so we’re afraid even to get started because we don’t want to find ourselves on the wrong path. But you know what? You don’t need to see the whole path just yet; as Martin Luther King Jr. once said, ''You don’t need to see the whole staircase, just take the first step in faith.''
You can’t anticipate every consequence or outcome that could arise through your actions, but even the smallest step forward could result in new information, could bring you important new contacts, and could lead you in new directions, that you can’t possibly even imagine right now. But with each step forward, the next step is revealed to you incrementally. It’s just like driving through fog; just because you can’t see more than ten feet in front of you doesn’t mean the road isn’t there. And one day you’re going to look behind you and realize just how far you’ve come – from where you were to where you wanted to be – all by taking those tiny steps.
Where does positive thinking fit in ?

Positive thinking may be an excellent means of motivating oneself to take action, provided that you truly address the action aspect of the matter. You have to go out and create amazing things for yourself if you want to see them happen. Living your entire life thinking about what may be is a waste of time. We often find ourselves in the trap of convincing ourselves we'll "get to it later" or "do it tomorrow." However, there is a proverb that states, "How soon 'not now' becomes never." Remind yourself of these three things when you find yourself drifting into inaction: action activates knowledge, action overcomes fear, and action inspires courage. This will help you get back on track and start acting rather than just dreaming. Dreams are not enough to get you where you want to be in life.
In the end, Challenge Yourself To progress ~
To push yourself further and look for fresh chances for development, ask for criticism, and learn from your errors. You may enhance your performance, pinpoint your strengths and shortcomings, and modify your tactics with the aid of feedback, which is a useful source of information. Growing from mistakes is a fundamental part of a growth mindset, which is the conviction that you can improve your skills through work and education. Having a growth mentality makes it easier to accept obstacles, deal with failure, and keep going when things become tough. To keep learning and developing, look for new chances for growth. Growing and learning are continuous processes that may support you in reaching your potential, overcoming obstacles, and adjusting to new situations. Reading books, viewing videos, listening to podcasts, and enrolling in online courses are all ways you may continue to learn and develop. You may push yourself farther by attempting new things, getting fresh feedback, and establishing new objectives.
