Make Reality Your Ally

Make Reality Your Ally (Story from: "Put Your Dream To The Test" - John C Maxwell) He wanted to be a conductor however, his style was odd, to say the least. When conducting soft passages, he'd crouch down. When the music called for crescendo, he'd leap into the air with a shout. One time he jumped to cue a dramatic passage, but the musicians didn't respond. He'd lost track of his place and jumped too soon. The musicians often looked to the first violinist instead of him for direction. His memory was not very good. During a performance, he tried to conduct the orchestra through a section of music he had instructed them to skip. When they didn't play the passage, he stopped conducting all together and shouted, "Stop! Wrong! That will not do! Again! Again!" He had a clumsiness about him. When he conducted for a piano concerto he had written, he tried to do it from the piano while playing and knocked candles off the piano. During another concert, he knocked over one of the choir boys. The musicians begged him to give up his dream of becoming a great conductor. Finally he did. From then on, Ludwig van Beethoven gave up conducting and focused his attention on composing.   My Message We all have great dreams, most of us more or less know what we want out of life, in both our careers and personal lives, but what is important is to make these dreams a reality. Many people dream about accomplishing the things they are destined to do, but very few set out to make it more than just a dream. Be one of the few who strive to transform the 'wafty' dream into something real and concrete. The simplest way to make your dream into a reality is to know your strengths and weaknesses, to focus more on your strengths and to identify what you are naturally good at. Proceeding with your talents is the most guaranteed route to success. Align your abilities, habits, potential and aspirations so that you have a great probability for achievement. Don't act out of luck and chance to fulfill your dreams. Make an assertive effort to create the ultimate life you are destined for. May you have  an awesome week, where you harness the power to transform your dreams into reality! Darren Zwiers The Quote: "Vision without action is a dream.
