Visualization will make your dream clearer and more significant. When you see what you want, and describe it with pictures and words, you have started on the road of turning dreams into reality. The very first step is to clarify your destination. If you hike or ski without knowing which cabin or lodge you are heading for, you will not have a clear track to follow, and you will take longer to arrive. You will not reach a specific destination, no matter how far you go, simply because you do not have a defined goal. The first thing you must do is to describe your dream with complete clarity so that you know exactly what you want. While this may seem to be an easy task, it is often one of the main reason dreams remain unfulfilled. Maybe we are afraid to specify our dreams because it will force us to look our present circumstances in the eye. Is the gap between the present and the dream so overwhelming that it scares us; or is it that we lack experience and knowledge of how to conquer our dreams and reach our desired destination? Perhaps the reason is simply that we have not started because no one has helped us find the right path or provided us with the right tools.
When you have visualized and clarified your dream, you are prepared for the next step. You must convert the dream into a goal. What distinguishes a dream from a goal? Is it just word play? How you specify what you want to achieve is the difference between a dream and a goal. Specifying your dream so that it becomes a clear and encouraging target is important for two reasons. You gain the ability to track and adjust your course on the way to the target, and you program your mind to constantly work towards the goal. *Your brain becomes a pathfinder, always searching for the most direct path to your goal.*
