if you don’t make time to work on your dreams every single day, they’ll never come true. So ask yourself is watching tv really more important than your dreams?
the only way you’re going to achieve your goals is if you’re working towards them every single day. So ask yourself, have you worked towards your goals today? Do you schedule in time to work towards them every day? If not, you need to mane time. You need to dedicate a portion of your day to working in your dreams. And then do it consistently every day. Ask yourself what things you need to get done to make your dreams come true. Do you need to complete a course, make a website, produce a prototype, contact suppliers, write a book? Whatever it is, are you doing it every single day? Prioritize your dreams over everything else because they’re the thing you want more than anything else. So make sure they’re your number 1 priority everyday. If you do that you’ll get there. If you don’t, your drama will just be dreams.

Here is the secret of inspiration: Tell yourself that thousands and tens of thousands of people, not very intelligent and certainly no more intelligent than the rest of us, have mastered problems as difficult as those that now baffle you ~ William Feather

But why do only unimportant things?” asked Milo, who suddenly remembered how much time he spent each day doing them.
“Think of all the trouble it saves,” the man explained, and his face looked as if he’d be grinning an evil grin–if he could grin at all. “If you only do the easy and useless jobs, you’ll never have to worry about the important ones which are so difficult. You just won’t have the time. For there’s always something to do to keep you from what you really should be doing, and if it weren’t for that dreadful magic staff, you’d never know how much time you were wasting.
