Seriously clichés aside,
dream walking ain’t easy. It's a journey to find you. It’s like looking at
yourself in a mirror naked. There’s no more hiding behind illusions. Instead,
you see all your weaknesses and strengths. The expedition inward helps you
to find what works for you.
Achieving the dream is not as scientific, which drives my type A personality with a strong dash of perfectionism! My journey has not been about reading case studies, how to books for dummies, blog posts and applying them. The tools, while helpful, have to be filtered through the way you work to create your personal blueprint for success.

One of the greatest lessons I’m learning in
pursuing my dream is that deadlines are a must.
Otherwise, I push things back and let other people’s dates override my "to do lists" because there are no hard deadlines associated with them. So, in saying goodbye to 2014 and getting ready to jump into
2015, I am committing to creating deadlines for the steps I need to further my goals.
First step, get a new day planner.

Although I use my phone and to
do lists, there is something about writing down dates and looking at month
views that are essential. Yet, all planners are not created alike.
I love cute patterns, colors and pictures, but there are also other things
that can set a planner apart from the humdrum of your day to day task planning.

Inspirational
Quotes
A planner with a motivational
quote offers inspiration to keep going every time you have to
schedule something. The Kate Spade planner offers both color and style, but the
inspirational quote is the standout feature. The quote is a reminder that chasing
dreams is not about caution. Dream building is about not letting fear dictate
your future.
Incorporate
Your Goals
This planner is brilliant. It incorporates
a space for recording your monthly goals. Assessing how you spend your time in relation to your goals allows you to
quickly see where time is wasted and allows you to shift accordingly.
Helps Achieve
More Than One Task
If you’re a person of faith, then at some point you've probably found yourself so busy that your spiritual practice fell off. The
guilt of not putting God first aside, your faith practice routine can be a
grounding element while you pursue your dreams. I love this planner because it
incorporates a Bible reading plan and a motivational scripture. It allows you to schedule your faith practice with your daily work, helping you stay on track for your personal and spiritual goals.
Even if you aren’t a person of faith try to find a calendar that helps you keep track of a personal goal and work goals. This planner can help you keep track of your exercise regimen and your schedule.

Reflection
or Journaling Space
I am an advocate for journaling. It gives you
the chance to reflect on your wins and your losses. It gives you a chance to
assess what works and what doesn’t and how it may potentially be affecting
aspects of your psyche. A planner that gives you the chance to see your monthly
goals and tasks, while also offering prompts for reflection can help you in the dream building process.
