One of my favourite phrases and my life motto is Henry Thoreau’s “Go confidently in the direction of your dreams. Live the life you have imagined.” We much too often only dream instead of make our dreams our reality.
Is it a fear of failure? Laziness? Lack of trust in our abilities?

For sure it doesn’t just come to us or nobody serves it to us on a silver platter- it requires work, hard work and some sacrifices.
The skill of setting goals is not that easy for everybody but by following these few simple steps you can make it more achievable. Why not give it a go? Lets look here at how to set goals, or in other words, the art of making your dreams come true!

Failure is not the end point and the moment you sit down and cry. It should be you reflection moment, turning point. Before every successful story there is a string of tries and errors.
I have not failed. I’ve just found 10,000 ways that won’t work.” – Thomas A. Edison
Have you ever wondered if you can do more than you do now, can achieve more in life and feel more fulfilled? What if you had a power…
