Discover Your Dreams
1. What roles have you chosen for
your life?
2. What dreams do you have for
each role?
What is YOUR life all about?
What will catapult you out of bed each morning and keep
your energy surging throughout the day?
What will give you peaceful, contented sleep at night?
YOU ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR CREATING THIS LIFE !
What do you want to have, do, and be???
Creating Inner Motivation

commit to your dreams, you program your brain to
look for solutions to your own problems and you
stay committed to your dream even when times are
rough.
2. Visualize Your Dream
a. Relax
b. Use present tense – Imagine yourself
experiencing success NOW.
c. Use all five senses.
d. Feel the feelings of YOUR success.
Committing to Your Dreams
Goals help make dreams become realities.
They provide a game plan by which your life can
be scripted.
Design A Compelling Life Plan
Effective goals display five characteristics:
1. Dated – Specific deadlines for achievement.
2. Achievable – Goals must be realistic.
3. Personal – Goals must be what YOU want for yourself-
not what someone else wants for you.
4. Positive – Goals must focus on what you want rather
than what you don’t want.
5. Specific – Goals must be stated in specific, measurable
terms.
