Yes, even if it seems unrealistic AF

When I started thinking about writing a novel, the idea seemed bizarre to me. Firstly, I had no idea where to start. Secondly, I knew nothing about the writing business. And thirdly, I was in the process of immigrating, so even if I wanted to write something good, I had to master my English (my second language) to a professional level.

It all seemed overwhelming, but there was something more significant than all my doubts – the pain of the untold story.

So, I started slowly, and... no, it wasn't smooth at all. I walked a thorny path from an aspiring writer to a published author of 6 books (and more to come).

I faced multiple obstacles, including endless rewrites, rejections from publishers and literary agents, and receiving heartbreaking book reviews. However, this journey had a lot of beautiful moments – holding the first copy of the book in my hands, receiving positive feedback from readers who loved it, and of course, the pleasure of sharing my story.

So, if you have a dream that seems too complicated right now, I must tell you that the first thing you need to do is to understand that any worthy adventure in this life has its complications. But it’s not the lack of obstacles that must define your decision. It’s your readiness to deal with these obstacles because doing what you love is worth it.

When I accepted that and started writing my first clumsy sentences, I realized that no dream is too big or too unfeasible to achieve. It just requires my effort. With the right mindset and techniques, I managed to make my most unfeasible dream come true.

Here are five techniques that helped me turn my wildest dreams into reality:

1. Set clear and specific goals

The first step to making your dream come true is to set clear and specific goals. Instead of saying "I want to start a business," break it down into smaller, more manageable goals such as "I will research business ideas, create a business plan, and secure funding." By setting specific goals, you can create a roadmap to success and track your progress along the way.

2. Take consistent action

Dreams don't come true overnight. It takes consistent action and hard work to turn your dreams into reality. Make a commitment to take small steps towards your goal every day, whether it's researching, networking, or practicing your craft. By staying consistent and focused, you will make steady progress towards achieving your dream.

3. Surround yourself with support

Achieving your dream can be a challenging and sometimes lonely journey. Surround yourself with a supportive network of friends, family, mentors, and like-minded individuals who believe in you and your dream. They can provide encouragement, advice, and motivation when you need it most. Remember, you don't have to do it alone.

4. Stay positive and resilient

Making your dream come true will inevitably come with setbacks and challenges. It's important to stay positive and resilient in the face of adversity. Instead of dwelling on failures or obstacles, use them as learning opportunities to grow and improve. Stay focused on your end goal and believe in your ability to overcome any obstacles that come your way.

5. Visualize success

Visualization is a powerful technique that can help you manifest your dreams into reality. Take time each day to visualize yourself achieving your dream in vivid detail. Imagine how it feels, looks, and sounds to have accomplished your goal. By visualizing success, you can stay motivated, focused, and aligned with your dream, making it more likely to come true.

So, if you have a dream that seems too complicated right now, I must tell you that the first thing you need to do is to understand that any worthy adventure in this life has its complications. But it’s not the lack of obstacles that must define your decision. It’s your readiness to deal with these obstacles because doing what you love is worth it.

When I accepted that and started writing my first clumsy sentences, I realized that no dream is too big or too unfeasible to achieve. It just requires my effort. With the right mindset and techniques, I managed to make my most unfeasible dream come true.

Your dream is within reach, and with these techniques, you can turn it into a reality. Believe in yourself, trust the process, and watch as your most unfeasible dream unfolds before your eyes. The sky's the limit – go chase your dream and make it come true!

Sincerely yours,
