You Make Your Own Breaks on the Way to Your Dreams

By Dave Kelly

One of my guilty pleasures is watching the audition shows of the various performance shows like American Idol and Last Comic Standing. So, of course, I was in front of my TV last month to watch the American Idol audition shows.

Some very talented people who auditioned received the golden ticket to Hollywood.

Some really bad singers did not and they were legitimately surprised when they failed to make it to the next round! (Don’t you think some of them just had to know how bad they really were?)

Shine like a star, know who you are

I got this month’s tip from a future speaking star! She is an energetic young lady who is one of the most positive people I know. She approaches life with fun and excitement and is great to be around.

When I asked her about this quote, she told me how important it is to know who you are and be that person.

Simple idea, huh?

Champions do what it takes to achieve their dreams!

Are you sleep-deprived from watching the Olympics? I know I am! Watching the best in the world compete in so many different sports and disciplines was incredibly inspiring.

I heard all kinds of stories throughout the Olympics about the routines the athletes went through in order to become the best in the world. Many were up at 5:00 am, working out before and after school or work. Their weekends were spent away from family and friends and many had special diets. Of course, it would be cool to consume 10,000 calories a day like swimmer Michael Phelps and still be in condition to win eight gold medals!

I would probably sink.

Dare to Dream and See What Comes Up

“We don’t realize how much hope drives our lives. When hope is gone, life looks a lot different, a lot darker.”–David L. Heller (1913-1992), a cherished friend and mentor

Somewhere along the path of life we lose our dreams. Life rolls along, we have responsibilities, bills to pay, obligations—we “grow up”. Over time, that all becomes our reality, our place in the universe. We get used to it, accept it, go on, and tell ourselves that all is well. When the economy trips and falls, pulling most of us down at least a little, the abandonment finds its’ greatest justification as we rally to cope with the crisis at hand.

And what of our dreams, our best hopes for our lives? Oh, their there somewhere in the recesses of our minds, we just don’t think about them so much—there just isn’t time.

You can do this!

By Dave Kelly

You can.

You have infinite power and ability that was placed in you the moment you were conceived.

You must choose to make use of those God-given talents and abilities.

Most people don’t, or won’t.

What’s holding you back? Fear of failure? Lack of money? No road map? The moment is not perfect? Get over it!

Create a vision for yourself and share it with as many people as you can

“I am a successful professional speaker.”

That is an affirmation that I have told myself repeatedly, up to six times per day, for the last five years. That means I began telling it to myself before anyone had ever paid me for speaking or training! After almost 20 years in the mortgage business, I had created a new vision for myself, “To make my career as a professional speaker”. I told everyone that I was indeed a professional speaker. Whenever I was introduced at Circle K and Kiwanis events, it was as a professional speaker. I even launched my web site two and a half years before I got serious about marketing myself as a speaker!

You have the ability and talent to make your dreams come true

MONDAY MOTIVATIONAL MOMENT

By Dave Kelly

“Really? I do?”

Absolutely. You were provided with everything you needed on the day you were born.

“Well then, why am I not happier, more successful, focused on a dream, and getting to where I want to be?”

Because you have forgotten what it is like to see possibilities and think of them as real in your life. Remember when you were a child and you dreamed of being a teacher, an astronaut, a star athlete, and an award winning actor–all in one? What happened to those dreams?
