What is Your Real Dream Job? Goals Matter…
What is Your Real Dream Job? Goals Matter…
Your job is simply to create the reality you want, to make your dreams become actual.
Wallace Wattles laid this out simplest in the early 1920's:
“There is a thinking stuff from which all things are made… A thought in this substance produces the thing that is imaged by the thought.
A person can form things in his thought, and by impressing his thought upon formless substance can cause the thing he thinks about to be created.”
This is where Earl Nightingale and Napoleon Hill put such emphasis on having a goal and a “burning desire”, respectively.
Whatever you are looking for you will find. The trick is to get the details firmly etched in your mind and to envision this every spare moment during the day, first thing in the morning, last thing at night.
This is the only real job you have.
And the logic of this goes back to that most popular phrase: “We Become What We Think About.” The oldest phrase of this I’ve found is “The World Is What You Think It Is.”
Wattles explains this in his summary (and devotes a chapter to this):
“A person must form a clear and definite mental image of the things he wishes to have, to do, or to become, and he must hold this mental image in his thoughts while being deeply grateful…”
Chase this idea back through Nightingale and Hill, as well as Claude M. Bristol’s “Magic of Believing” and Dorothea Brande’s “Wake Up and Live!” They all hold this point, as do many others, that you have to hold a clear image of what you want in order to help it show up.
Probably the clearest explanation of how to do this is in James B. Jones’ “If You Can Count to Four…” where he points out that if you have a vague idea of what you want to achieve, acquire, or attain, you’ll only get a vague result. If you consider your vision or goal daily and flesh out all the details of it, you’ll get that exact result. If you want a Cadillac, you might get a used beater. But if you specify a convertible with leather upholstery and white sidewalls, then that is what will show up.
Maybe you want a better job, or to start a successful home business to grow into a multi-national organization. Jones did that in four years, starting with three morgages and a personal loan, ending up with an national organization which was pulling in 8-figures in income in the late 50's.
The point is to have a precise vision of what you want with all the details worked out from the data you know. Then you keep reviewing this regularly. Act on the inspirations and “bright ideas” that come “out of the blue” so you can take the steps to make it happen.
That is your only job here. It’s a job that last your whole life. And when you achieve that goal, then you set another, or expand on the one you achieved.
Just because the bulk of humanity (something like 98%) never set goals and want nothing more than do work for someone else so that boss can achieve their goal — this doesn’t mean you have to.
You have immense talent and abilities at your fingertips. You only have to exercise them to get good at these skills.
You have dreams that can be made a reality. But you have to really wish and hope and plan these, then take action to make them become that reality. There is no limit to what you can actually achieve, acquire, or attain for yourself. And you can flow through life from one success to another, learning from your errors and mistakes along the way. Always reaching for the stars in order to hit the moon.
That’s your job.
Dream, create, envision.
And the better you do this, the more the reality around you will change. The more you work at exercising your imagination and your creative expression, work will become a pleasure and your job will be something you look forward to every day.
To the degree you simply keep your schedule at work and perform your daily routines with efficiency, then you will achieve your bosses’ goals, their visions.
Why not do your own job? Why not achieve your own dreams.
