Don&#8217;t get me wrong, I believe in dreaming.   Eventually, though, we need to prioritize so we can put our energy into making them happen, otherwise you&#8217;re just spinning your wheels.</p>
<p>Most people view their dreams as future realities waiting for time to pass, instead of living them Right Now.  It&#8217;s important to remember that the present is a result of the past, yet the future will be the result of your behavior Now!</p>
<p>Throughout the day, frequently ask yourself:  &#8220;Is this activity moving me forward to achieve my most important lifetime goals?&#8221;<br />
Begin to frame the future based on the NOW behavior.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Are you in the 1% club?  Do you spend time making your dreams a reality, or do you sit back and watch others fulfill their dreams?</p>
<p>In a recent study from a professor at Virginia Tech he found that people who wrote their goals (vision) earned nine times as much as those who didn&#8217;t!  His research went on to reveal that when asked, &#8220;What are your goals for life&#8221; &#8211; he found:</p>
<ul>
<li> 80% said they didn&#8217;t know</li>
<li>16% said they have goals but they&#8217;ve never written them down</li>
<li>Only 4% said they&#8217;ve written the goals but never gone back to look at the</li>
<li>1% said they wrote the goals and they review them on a weekly basis</li>
</ul>
<p>He went on to say&#8230;&#8221;Do you know who those 1% are?&#8221; MILLIONAIRES!</p>
<p>Success is not accidental.  You must take action.  Begin by writing your goals (vision) down.  As Dr. King said&#8230;</p>
<p><strong>Faith is taking the first step even when you don&#8217;t see the whole staircase.</strong></p>
<p><strong><br />
