Great Achievement Begins With a Dream By Kimberly Kennedy Bohannon


The greatest achievement begins with a single dream.

You see, it doesn't matter at what stage of your life you begin, what does matter is that you do begin. If you want to make your dream a reality, there is no better time like the present to get started.

You can reach your goals if you have a clear vision of your dream, are willing to put forth the effort, have a burning desire to make it happen, remain focused and persistent, and have a positive attitude.

You cannot be afraid of failing, and you cannot procrastinate. Successful people are never negative and never lazy.I have always known that someday I would accomplish my dream. What ever I do, I always try my best.

My parents taught me that I could be anything I wanted to be. But, guaranteed, it takes a lot of hard work to make it a reality.

At an early age I became interested in how and why certain people accomplish success. I was intrigued by the stars, from movies to sports. I thought it was a wonderful way to make a living... doing something you love.

When programs like A&E's Biography began, I was glued. I found it extremely interesting to learn how these people were able to reach their goals successfully.

What makes them so lucky?

Well, first I discovered that it was not luck. Luck is when you win the lottery. Success happens when you spend a lifetime of effort working toward the achievement of your dreams and you finally get the opportunity to make it a reality.

That is when you reach for the stars.

What seems to be an overnight success of some is actually a lifetime of preparation. And what most, if not all, these people have in common is they turned what they love doing into a successful career.

They are winners in the circle of accomplishments. They reach their goals doing something they love, and they spend their lives mastering their profession.

Successful people have a positive, winner's attitude. They believe in themselves which is why they reach their goals!

It takes a positive attitude and a great deal of effort to reach your goals... and it is well worth it. One of the greatest accomplishments in your life is having your your dream come to fruition.

Long term goals are reached by accomplishing short term goals. Each tiny step you take toward success is similar to walking up the steps to the top of a tower. As you plan and take each step the closer you get to identifying exactly what you want to achieve.

Knowing the end result of what you desire to accomplish will increase your chances of success. It is your passion that will drive you to reach your goals and turn your dream into reality.

And it is on that final step at the top when you are able to realize and appreciate all the little things you did which enabled you to reach your dream successfully.
