Focus your dream

F.O.C.U.S. = Follow One Course Until Success
Revealed to me by Romeo Chouake of Cameroon

Focus is powerful. Focus enables the lenses of my spectacles to clarify my vision and at the same time magnify the suns energy sufficiently to start a fire. Focus brings any subject matter into clear view. Many people use focus negatively. They think about what can go wrong and consequently deny their dream life. Instead, they could focus on what can go right and ignite a fire of passion within their dream that cannot be extinguished. Zig Ziglar says that to have the best that life has to offer we need to learn to say NO to a lot of good ideas. The biggest distractions in life are often these good ideas. They are the enemy of great. The enemy of best is the rest. “Focus on a pinhead” was Raymond Ackermann’s advice to me. Too often we are focused on a pincushion. Life is too short not to focus on the best it has to offer.

What do you tend to focus on and why?

Dream job

A job should not be a means to an end, but a means to a beginning.
Glen A. McQuirk

We should work to learn not work to earn. We should seek to follow a career that is our dream or has the potential to contribute significant knowledge and skill for the effective implementation and fulfillment of our dream. If we choose to start a business, it should be our dream, not a means to an end. When we do things as a means to an end, we are often disappointed; they do come to an end, usually not a pleasant one. If our approach to work or business is contrary to the way the majority approach it, we will be energized, enthusiastic, great to be around and easily promoted. We will be an asset to any organization, group or team we are part of. When we begin to say yes to things in line with our dream, we will be more devoted and committed to what we do. A great dream has an end that is beyond your end.

What have you learnt in your career recently that can benefit your dream?

Dream food

Thinking is the spiritual food that converts thought into something physical.
Glen A. McQuirk

You are what you think about. I am sure you have heard this being said before. The question is do you believe it. I mean, after all, how on earth can you really become what you think about? I have had many thoughts and by far the majority have never seen the light of day. Well, it’s not those fleeting thoughts that seem to pop in and out of the mind, it’s the ones we habitually think about and meditate on. It’s the ones that consume our mind day and night. If what we think about is who we are becoming, it would be worth stopping from time to time and consider what is dominating our thought life. If our thoughts are in line with our purpose and vision, then we should continue cultivating these thoughts; if not, we must replace them with thoughts that represent our chosen destiny. Everything begins with a thought.

What dominates your thought life?

Dreams red herrings

Doubt exposed is doubt deposed.
Glen A. McQuirk

Often we think we doubt our dream but actually doubt ourselves. When someone else doubts whether our dream will work, they make comments based on their own limited experience and perception of our ability. Since personal ability is not a prerequisite for the achievement of a dream, our doubts are often red herrings. Belief in our doubts and doubt of our beliefs is dream poison. To avoid falling into this trap, we need to share our dreams and insecurities with experienced dream chasers. These people have a better knowledge of the ingredients for dream accomplishment. Sharing your doubts with them will result in your doubts being deposed and their stronghold over you broken. Dream chasers learn to turn their doubts into determination fuel, an encouragement instead of a discouragement. Be a dream chaser.

What characteristics are possessed by dream chasers?

Tattoo your dream

Your dream becomes a permanent image in your mind which reveals something about your past, present or future.
Glen A. McQuirk

MIAMI INK and LA INK are programs about tattoo specialists. The people featured in these programs are specialists at transferring images to the skin in an almost permanent way. I say almost permanent because certain laser treatments can dissolve the ink and remove the tattoo over time. There is a permanent tattoo you can give yourself though. It is given by TH INK. Everything that enters your mind, whether it is something you see, hear or THINK about, is permanently tattooed in your brain; there until the day you die. So what tattoos have you employed TH INK to imprint on your mind? Just as the tattoos appearing on peoples skin tell you something about the person wearing them, so too do the unseen tattoos of the mind reveal the person carrying them, because they become the tattoo.

What is the dominant image that is being tattooed on your mind by TH INK?

Picture your dream

Your picture is unique; no one else can replicate it.
Glen A. McQuirk

Recently, while visiting Tanzania, I met a young blind man with vision. I was reminded of Helen Keller who said that the most pathetic person in the world was not the one without sight, but the one without vision. This man has a vision of blind people being equipped, through training and tools, to be as able as or more able than seeing people. Our physical eyes only enable us to see dreams that have already come true. These achieved dreams are supposed to inspire us to see the unseen, that which is yet to be, with our minds eyes. Our physical eyes often see circumstance not vision; they see facts but seldom the truth. Obstacles get their attention while our minds eye is able to see into the future where our dream is already achieved. Close your eyes for a moment and look into the future. What exciting prospects do you see?

What do you see with the powerful eyes of your mind?

Affirm your dream

Speak life into your dream.
Glen A. McQuirk

The circumstances of life seem to be designed to distract us from our dream. Often when we make a decision to take a step closer to our dream it may feel as if the gates of hell have been opened to unleash a relentless attack on us. The closer we move to worthy dreams the more severe the attacks seem to become. This is the time to become stronger and more resolute. Our dreams never get tested, only our commitment to them. To eliminate the effects of the distractions that will come our way, we must appreciate the value of affirming our dream through visualization, positive statements and self-talk. Every time we do this we strengthen our dream; we elevate its prominence in our mind. It becomes more and more real; almost tangible. The more we can think about our dream, the more excited we will become.

How can you demonstrate love for your dream?

Resource your dream

Your dream requires you to be a loving host, not an omnipotent resource.
Glen A. McQuirk

For your dream to become a reality, it just needs you to be a loving host, giving care, nurture, support, protection and sustenance, just what it needs to grow and mature. If you are an excellent host, you need not be a resource at all. Just keep talking the dream and showing it to others, the resources will reveal themselves. They will seem to be attracted to you. They will show up in the most unexpected places. It is unlikely that a dream for your personal benefit or gratification will attract appropriate resources. Only dreams that are for the benefit of others attract others. This is why some people seem to achieve so little in life while others achieve so much. It is all a reflection of the focus of their dreams. The majority of people have dreams to elevate their own status within society; few have dreams to elevate society itself.

How will your dream contribute to a better life for all?

A better host

You can imprison your dream with a ‘life sentence.’
Glen A. McQuirk

A ‘Life Sentence’ is a statement we habitually use without conscious thought of its debilitating effects. Roy Heeley has written a book on the concept, it is worth understanding. As I am in the business of equipping people to make their dreams become a reality, I often meet people who have great dreams, but the language they use imprisons their dream before it can even take root. They take some label or past failure and begin to speak this over everything they think about or do. Their sentences usually start with the words “I am not good at…” or “I am just…” or “I can’t…” These sentence beginnings are as good as saying I am a failure and plan to remain that way for the rest of my life and beyond if anyone lets me. We need to be careful of the words we use as they can give life to our dream or send it to the grave forever.

What 'Life Sentence's' do you use?

A good dream host

A fulfilled dream reveals the quality of the character of its host.
Glen A. McQuirk

The perfect host nourishes, nurtures and strengthens his or her dream with regular visualization, positive affirmation, belief, passion, experience, faith, focused thought, optimism, possibility thinking, positive mental attitude, dedication, determination, diligence, persistence, success planning, resilience, clarification, definition, communication, presentation, values, wisdom, principles, objectives, strategies, success teams, daily action, correct habits, study, knowledge acquisition, constant attention, single mindedness, addiction, habitation. These hosts seem to eat, drink and sleep their dream. Nothing seems to be able to distract them from their treasure. When you start doing these things then you are on the road to becoming the perfect host for your dream to grow to its full potential. Be the best host you can be.

What characteristics do you portray that represents a good dream host?
