How to have unrealistic goals to achieve your dreams

This blog describes the ins and outs of dreaming big to achieves your goals that seem outrageous.

This is the time of year when we should all be evaluating our progress. Are we currently where we want to be in life mentally, physically, financially, spiritually, etc. Checking in with ourselves and the past year will help you figure out what you want out of your future. If you are unsure how to set goals for yourself check out our blog post 8 Tips to Goal Setting.

I’ve heard it from several business coaches that dreaming big is to unlocking your potential and I never really understood until recently why this is true. Not dreaming big or setting unrealistic goals is what is holding all of back in life. Let’s dive in a little deeper into why thinking outside the box and getting as silly and creative as you want when it comes to how you want your future to turn out.

So, I guess that leads to me asking Why is it so damn important to having unrealistic dreams?

I believe all humans are limiting their potential because of their limited beliefs they are holding on to. So tapping into your imagination and thinking of a future you want to live in requires, critical thinking, some time and some planning. This might be the hardest part, but you have to go outside your comfort zone and really investigate what truly makes you happy so you don’t end up what I like to call “chasing nothing”.

If you have not sat down and defined “YOUR MEANING” of wealth, health and wellness then I can tell you right now you are letting society and your upbringing decide for you.

In order to take back control of your life you need to define what success means to you in all of the categories and not what success means to Daryl or Darla down the Street, or what success means to your family or friends. You NEED to Get Real Fucking Selfish Right Now and look inward. That is why meditating is so important or establishing a routine to look inward and clear your mind and meet the void. In the void, the darkness and empty space allows you to connect with source when you don’t even know it is happening. Just Breath and you will connect with the universal spirit the connects us all, some call it God which I have no problem with. You will believe what you believe. 

Ok so back to the point. Defining what success means to you in business, in health, in life is an important thing to define because then you can live each day to the fullest without worrying about the past or the future (for the most part, you know we all get caught up in the unknown if we allow it) But, right now, this moment, is all you have control over so make sure you know what you want to be doing right now or something, someone, will take your attention and suck you alive. We are on information overload 24/7 and we have to decide every second how to live that second and what information we want to take in. We can all achieve this by slowing down your thoughts with a meditation practice. (Did you Know? You Don’t just have to sit to mediate you can also sit in an ice bath or cold showers are also a form of meditation. Yoga is kind of a moving mediation as is walking. A Coffee enema is an amazing way to detox your entire body and trust me you have to meditate while you are holding this coffee in your body, read this post by Ben Greenfield about Coffee Enema’s and Why it should incorporated into your healthy lifestyle regime.)

By defining what health means to you , you will start to feel better, look sexier and have more energy to start achieving your wealth dreams.

I truly believe as an entrepreneur that the best way to live is by doing what you love and making money while you do it. Guy and I get paid to coach basketball and soccer to little kids and we pull anywhere between 100K a year with less than 20 hours of work a week coaching. It is fun plus we set our own schedule with a lot of time off. We get the entire month of July off which is fucking fantastic. I’m pretty sure I make more income then some WNBA athletes and that was one of my dreams all along as a kid was to get paid to play basketball. Plus, with the young age group we work with I literally get to PLAY basketball and soccer on the days I choose and nothing feels like work about it. So find your passion and then start doing that passion and you will find the job opportunity that speaks to you. For instance, if you want to be a writer make it a goal to write for an hour everyday not post a blog post everyday. The first one is more realistic and achievable. The blog comes on the second day and editing and refining counts as a writing day to me FYI. So, once you can establish this writing habit is when I would start researching places you want to write for or free lance opportunities. If there is a blog you like contact the creator and sometimes they allow ghost writers or guest authors on their blog if your content is good and fits their companies motto. Another idea, is try fiverr.com and post your profile and resume and what you charge for your work. You can get jobs writing children’s book, ebooks and much more. So, I swear just start typing or writing you will get in a flow and just go. In fact, that is what is happening right now as I go for it on this third blog post of the year.  My realistic goal for the year is to write everyday and try to get paid by the end of the year for writing in some way. ( I need to define how I am going to get paid but it is a start)  Now my unrealistic writing dream is below and If you take it from me and go for it please let me @thetracimitchell know when you hear form Seth and Jonah. So, I can at least smile and know someone made this movie a reality for me!  I think it is a fucking great idea and I am not sure when it will happen but it makes me smile, and makes me want to try to go for it. 

Unrealistic dream: Writing a movie script for Seth Rogan and Jonah hill to play that is similar to Sausage Party premise but called a Bee Party and it’s about that giant queen orgy and boss bee women of the world. And the drones would Just be at the party waiting to get the queen for the race of their life. All the other women would be lesbians and also flower fuckers who take care of each other and only deal with the boys during the summer and kick them out in the winter because they know the queen would not be able to make them if it wasn’t for the boys and the Queen’s royal sweet ass. The best way for this movie to become a reality is for a beekeeper to be on the writing staff to help give factual “fucked up but true” information about the reality of honey bees.  Other insects crazy lives should be included because in the end we are all connected but it would be best to have someone who is super intelligent about bugs that isn’t afraid to get a little vulgar be on the writing staff. I am pretty sure a female praying mantis bites and eats the males head off when they are done with fucking. Sounds a little brutal, but could be so funny and vulgar at the same time just like Sausage Party. 

How do I turn it into a realistic goal:  Break it down in to steps. 

Step 1: Research how to write a movie script 

Step 2: Try to write a movie script or Hire someone else to do it

Step 3: Write a minimum effort required script for them to get the idea

Step 4: Follow them on Instagram and send it to them  (Turns out Seth’s comments are turned off but it was worth a try and Jonah isn’t on instagram maybe I’ll try tweeting them.)

Also,  these are just ideas or steps there is always more than one way to achieve a goal. My step might not be your step. So write down an actionable plan and knock out the first task and move on to the next one. If you are trapped with limited thinking and limited beliefs, always ask yourself “Why do I think that way?” there is always more than two choices in life, it doesn’t have to be just a black and white, yes or no option, you have so many choices in life. It is just up to you on how creative you want to be each day. 

So,  I could sit here and try to research and write a movie script that I don’t know how to do or, I could hire someone on fiverr with money I don’t have or just skip the script part and just send my idea as a DM to Seth and Jonah and that is what I gonna mother fucking do. Plus, I am going to add a request to help write the script with them if they need any help.BTW I did that and Seth’s DM says “he doesn’t accept new message requests from everyone.” Some type of celebrity, blue check bullshit. Also, when some one, anyone has over 1 million followers it is very unlikely they would see your message anyway.

If nothing comes of this who the fuck cares, I’m just trying to write a blog post that is over 1000 words right now that teaches y’all boom-heads how to have unrealistic dreams to help you set and achieve realistic goals for yourself.  Which we are at 1380 words so Boom Mother fuckin’ Boom! 

Here is a quick conclusion for yours and mine illiterate asses:

Dream Big (So fucking big it makes you laugh out loud at how unbelievable and unrealistic it seems to you right now) 

-Example – I want to get so famous for my blog that I get interview by Joe Rogan for all the fucking sweet shit I teach others how to do. 

Turn your unrealistic dream into a a Realistic Goal: 

Example: I want to Write everyday for an hour or 1000+ words and do a podcast once a week. Plus, turn writing into blog posts. (Refining and Editing counts as writing to me) 

Give your self rules to follow and write down any barriers you see that might prevent you from doing that thing you said you were going to do each day.

Example: Write in the morning If you know there are too many distractions in the afternoon or make sure you set time and write down WHEN you are going to write each day.  

Forgive you self and Try Again when you fail. Failure is the fuel to Learning and accomplishing your goals and living your dreams. 

In closing, I just heard this on the The School of Greatness podcast this past week and its a great way to end todays blog post.
