Dreams are your “door opener” to opportunity. The key is turning the dreams into a plan and then taking action on the plan.

When used properly dreams are a springboard to your future success. They are your tools for self-exploration and will provide you with ideas, enthusiasm, and determination.

Here’s how to turn your dream of higher grades into positive results:

1. Dreams increases inspiration – Challenge to actively think about getting higher grades.

2. Inspiration increases ambition – Challenge to dedicate yourself to getting them.

3. Ambition increases desire – Dare to ask someone to help you.

4. Desire increases enthusiasm – Dare to think positively about getting higher grades.

5. Enthusiasm increases motivation – Dare to tell others about your excitement.

6. Motivation increases planning – Dare to clearly define your challenge or desire. What grade do you want? Which subject?

7. Planning increase goal setting – Dare to write down your goal, add specific action steps and a completion date.

8. Goal setting increases determination – Confront to move closer to your goal by completing your action steps that move you closer to your goal.

9. Determination increases action – Dare to take positive action on your dreams.
