As we step into the first morning of the new year, we feel an air of possibilities—a fresh slate waiting to be filled with success stories. Think about it: What’s your one dream for 2024? What’s that one thing that will make you happy and grateful at the end of the year? Is it sculpting a great physique, planning that dream vacation with family, completing the book that’s been whispering in your thoughts, or securing that dream job? Whatever it is, remember this: You’ve got one shot at life. Why not make it big?
Each of us holds a unique thread, a dream waiting to be pursued. It might be daunting, and the path might seem challenging, but that’s where the magic happens – in the pursuit of something greater than ourselves. Your dream is not just a destination; it’s a journey that transforms you, moulding you into the person capable of achieving it.
In the beginning, it might seem like a mountain. Your mind, crowded with a thousand questions and unwelcome thoughts, discouraging you, scaring you, and spinning up excuses for you, might be keeping you from getting started and from taking that first step. Sometimes having multiple things on your bucket list also overwhelms you and doesn’t allow you to get started with one in the first place. But imagine the immense satisfaction of looking back at the end of #2024 and realising that you faced those obstacles head-on and emerged victorious. It is better to have achieved one big dream than to have just dreamed about ten things. Additionally, achieving one big dream gives us more satisfaction than accomplishing ten small ones that don’t resonate with us on a deeper level.
Life is too short for regrets and ‘what-ifs’. It’s a rollercoaster ride, and every twist and turn presents an opportunity to conquer fears and break barriers. You deserve the life you’ve always dreamt of, and the time to make it happen is now!
As #JackKerouac wisely said, “Because in the end, you won’t remember the time you spent working in the office or mowing your lawn. Climb that goddamn mountain.” Make 2024 the year you climb your mountain, achieve your dreams, and craft a story worth remembering.
As #PetraMajdic, former cross-country skier, stated right after winning the bronze in the 2010 #Olympics despite her injured condition, “I won a medal just getting to the start line,” it shows that anything is possible if you don’t consider yourself a failure even before starting. When you apply the #OlympianMindset to your dreams, setbacks become stepping stones, and challenges become opportunities for growth. Suddenly, your dreams don’t seem far-fetched; they become achievable milestones on your journey to greatness.
My dream was to launch #Rescript Consultancy last year, which has been accomplished, and now I look forward to scaling it up further through launching our unique training offerings. My dream is to help you achieve yours.
Don’t let another year slip by. Join us in the Olympian Mindset Training in Business Leadership Excellence Programme to develop a mindset that will take you closer to victory and make 2024 the year of your triumph.
