If you are employed by someone and spend a large part of your day working, you are actually spending much of your time helping someone else's dreams come true. Whoever owns the company is getting their dreams fulfilled by hiring employees to do the work for him. That would include you as one of the workers.
That is not necessarily bad.
But what about you? What about your dreams? Are you also working to make YOUR dreams come true?
Maybe. Maybe not.
What do you do when you come home from work? Do you watch a little television or watch a ballgame? Watching a baseball game on television is very relaxing for me, and I watch a game on a regular basis.
But.......when you are watching ball players or actors, you are still making SOMEONE ELSE'S dreams come true. They get paid because you are watching the show or the game.
If you are employed, the hours between the time you get home from work and the time you go to bed are your best hours to work toward YOUR dreams. Spend some of that time working for YOU.
Think about what you want for yourself and think about what you need to do to accomplish your desires. Break your desires down into small steps that you can do in the time that you have available. And then do it.....consistently! Use the Slight Edge concept that I talked about in a previous post.
It is a great time to work on personal development. Read some good books or watch some good self-improvement videos. If your goals involve working with people, begin working with people during those hours by networking with those who can help you make YOUR dreams come true.
Television is a great way to relax. But spend some of that time in the evenings working for you. You deserve it!
