So you've found a dream worth pursuing. You've found that something that makes you tick. You've found something that makes you despise getting in bed every night because going to sleep merely takes you away from making any progress but find you pop up out of bed because you cannot wait to start your pursuit for the day. You know what you want to accomplish, but how do you get there?
Let's examine the architect.
Architects, especially the good ones, are the best in the world at making visions become realities. Some of the things that they wind up creating are feats that the general population never even knew was possible. They break through barriers throughout every single project, and overcome obstacles every single day. Nowadays, they can build just about anything that can be conceived, and know they can do it before the hard hats ever come into the picture. How do they do it?
Behind every single successful build is a master plan: a blueprint. Before a single brick is laid or a foundation poured, hours upon hours upon hours of preparation and planning are dedicated towards creating the guide of exactly how that architect will turn that mound of dirt into a spectacularly finished product. That blueprint acts ass the guidance and answers all foreseeable questions that may arise mid-project. However, as we all know, no project goes exactly as planned. Some obstacle always pops up and the architect simply finds a solution around it. "Easier said than done", right? I suppose, but one thing is for certain. Before that problem ever popped up, the architect was ready. He/she didn't know exactly what the problem was going to be but 1) was anticipating something springing up, 2) was mentally prepared for that something to be anything under the sun, and 3) was physically prepared because the architect already had mapped out exactly what the end product would look like. The blueprint made the architect visualize every single little detail, every rivet, of the finished project. The architect already knew that it could be done without a doubt in mind. That's why they are able to overcome any obstacle that pops up.
Create a blueprint for your goals. I mean a detailed, well thought out, physically written out blueprint. No matter how cheesy you may think it is, look at it everyday. It is just another way for you to prove to your subconscious mind that whatever you are pursuing is possible. That way when the going gets tough, it doesn't phase you. You have the faith needed to dig deeper, Venture On, and never settle because you've already visualized and seen whatever you are pursuing in a finished state, just like the architect.
