Sometimes, certain situations can make it impossible for us to step towards our dreams. We know what our inclination is and what we want to do precisely, but with obstacles and hindrances in the way, we just feel like giving up.

With millions of people struggling to enter one single domain, competition seems to touch the sky.

So, in such a scenario, how can one get out of this daily grind?

How would you safeguard your dreams from being hit by the real facet of the society?

After all, how can you neglect the pending bills by the end of the month and other expenditure? Each day, you have just a limited number of hours. There are countless of things to learn out there. And, when you are unable to do what you want, it is easier to have a doubt on own capabilities. Then the thoughts of giving up and embracing the reality strike up.

The undeniable truth is that most of the competitions are difficult to conquer. The challenges prevailing in the domains are dominant obstacles in the road. That is the reason why people quit so easily, living a comfortable life of mediocrity.

Just with few modifications, you can reach the top of your field. Reaching the top would just demand few lifestyle and fundamental changes.

So, here is a framework with two phases that can get you on the top.

Phase 1 — Reaching the level of sustainability:

· Start as a beginner:

There are only a handful of people who have the obedience to start as beginners. Just to attain that perfectionism, they keep on delaying the work they wanted to do. These are those people who rant for doing something for years but would never do it. Yet, from inside, they would be afraid of people’s perception of them. If you are one of them, you must know that it cannot be the same forever. You would have to start somewhere. And, now should be the time to.

· Learn:

Now is the time to take your dreams, goals, and aspirations seriously. Not everyone does that. You need to be serious enough to step away from mediocrity. For this, you must learn.

The moment I realized that entrepreneurship is the way for me, I’ve always kept that alive within me until I really became one.

Until or unless you don’t achieve your dreams, keep learning.

· Stop following what others are following:

If it is popular, it is not correct. If you are doing something for a reason, you are ought to be mediocre. Most of the people climb those ladders where they see a crowd, without realizing that it can pull them down instead of taking them high.

To reach the top, get on the path which hasn’t been used. Instead of following what others are following, you need to develop your own rules.

Phase two — Become the Best at What You Do

· Design your entire life to track your performance:

If you want to enter the world of perfection, you should be comprehensive about your craftsmanship. Your every action matters. Every moment that you live either takes you towards something good or takes away something that you are trying to achieve.

Checking emails or social media early in the morning will not bring anything good. To be a creative master, you must invest your energy on such tasks that will increase your subconscious mind’s power.

It can be done by keeping a track on your performance so that you can make adequate changes.

· Take some time to recover:

When you only concentrate on creating results, it is then you are working efficiently. As they say — Less is more. So, focus on doing tasks that will create results instead of being busy 24/7. This will not only help you live in present but will also give you enough time to rest and recover from unexpected situations.

Detaching yourself from work is necessary, or else you will end up procrastinating and get bored of your work. Recovering from work can be anything. Be it writing, listening music, spending time alone or with family — it means basically anything that would rejuvenate your inner self.

· Have a routine to get in flow:

The goal of having a routine is to modify your emotional situations. Most people are likely to face emotional resistance before starting a task. This resistance can be defined as something negative, such as uneasiness, anxiety, and some other similar feelings.

You surely wouldn’t want such emotions to have an impact on you while you are engrossed in work. Or else, they will negatively influence your performance.

Hence, a routine should be followed so that you can modify your emotional trauma to peace, courage, love, and acceptance. With such things in mind, you will be able to work with a superiority.

If you love what you are doing for your living, you will quickly reach the point that you desire. Accomplishing success only requires a bit of sacrifice, a lot of hard work, and consistency. So, follow your instinct, decide a level, give your bet and reach the peak point.

Are you ready to change your life?
