Here are 19 Steps to Get Closer to Your Dreams:
这里有能让你更接近梦想的19个步骤
1.Set Your Goals
制定目标
Dreams are just in your mind. They don’t get done. Goals get done.
They have tangible deadlines.
梦想一直藏于你的内心，完成目标，梦想就不会离开，他们都是有时间限制的。
2.Take a Step Every Day
每天迈进一小步
As stated, you don’t get to your dreams in one jump. You must take a step forward every day. And the day after that.
开始向梦想迈进，不能一下子就可以实现自己的梦想，你必须每天向前迈进一小步，一天接着一天。
3.Be the Early Bird 早起
Work when others are sleeping. Be the early bird. (Or a Night Owl if that is you…)
利用别人还在睡觉的时间去工作，做一只早起的鸟儿（或者如果你是晚上比较清醒那就做一只猫头鹰吧）
4.Write a Plan
写下你的计划
Writing your goals down has several benefits. It makes them more tangible.
It also allows you to clarify them in ways not possible when they are only “in your mind.”
写下目标能为你带来的好处，这样能使它变得更为真实。也能把梦想变得更清晰，而不是只 “在你的脑海里”。
5.Block Your Time
分配好你的时间
Make appointments with your goals. Block out your calendar before other obligations take up all your time.
约定好完成目标的时间 。分配好的时间内不能做别的事情。
6.Short Term Goals
制定短期目标
Long term goals are just too long. They are hard to track. They don’t adapt to life’s happenings. Keep your goals short. Once you finish one, then set the next one.
远期目标太长了，很难去定位。也难以与目前生活中正发生着的事相关联。做好短期目标，一旦你做完一个，马上开始做下一个。
7.Front and Center
放在重要的位置
Keep your goals front and center. Keep them visible. Carry a reminder with you. Or post a note where you will see it many times a day.
始终把你的目标放在最优先或重点的位置，让他们在你的可视范围内，时刻提醒你，或者做一个便条，把它放到你每天都能看到很多次的地方。
8.Tell Others What You Are Doing
告诉别人你正在做的事
Set expectations with others as to what you are working towards. Even if they don’t support you, they will be more apt to not hinder you.
让别人对你正在做的事有个期望。即使他们不支持你，但他们也没那么容易阻碍你。
9.Single Focus
只关注一个目标
Have one major goal at a time. A singular focus on your main objective is key to success.
一次有一个主要的目标 ，只关注你的主要目标是成功的关键
10.Just Start
马上开始
Don’t wait until tomorrow. Don’t wait for the perfect time. (There isn’t one.)You can’t finish if you don’t start.
不要等到明天。不要等到你认为最好的时间再开始（没有最好的时间），如果你不开始就没办法完成。
11.Find a Mentor
找一个导师
Chances are there is someone you respect that has done what you want to do. Reach out and learn from those that have gone before you.
你所尊敬的人可能已经做了你一直想要做的事情。接近他们，从他们走过的路中汲取经验。
12.Make it a Habit
养成一个习惯
Make your goals a habit. You will be more likely to stay on track if you make them part of your routine. Same place, same time each day.
让目标变成你的习惯。如果你能使其成为你平常工作的一部分，你将更有可能使其走上正轨。每天在相同的时间，相同的地点。
13.Find Your Strength
找出你的强项
You are stronger than you think. You don’t know just how much effort you can give until you push yourself.
你比你想象中的要强。在没有竭尽全力之前，你只是不知道你有多大的力量。
14.Find the Time
挤出时间
You do have time. You might have to get creative. You might have to work early (see #4) or you might have to work during lunch. You can find time if you want to.
你有时间，你需要创新。你可能必须早点开始工作，也可能需要在午餐时间工作。只要你想，你就能挤出时间来
15.Determine What Cost You Will Pay
弄清你要为此付出什么
Every dream has a cost. Whether it is in time, effort, sweat, or sacrifice. Spell out the cost of your dream and ensure that you are willing to pay the price.
每个梦想都有付出。无论它是时间，精力，汗水还是牺牲。算出梦想的成本以及弄清你愿意为此付出多大的代价 。
16.Change Your Habits
改变你的习惯
What habits will you need to change in order to make your dreams happen? Maybe you can’t stay out late or watch as much TV. What will you need to change?
为了实现梦想，哪些习惯是需要你改变的呢？也许就是你不能在外面逗留到很晚，或者是看很多的电视节目。你需要改变些什么呢？
17.Learn a New Skill
学习一些新的技巧
What got you here, won’t necessarily get you there.What new skill could you learn that would help you reach the next level?
是什么让你在这里，而不是必须带你到那里去呢？哪些新技巧能够帮助你到达下一个阶段呢？
18.Get Help
寻求帮助
Everyone needs a little help at some point. Know when to call in your support network for assistance.
某些时候，我们都需要得到别人的帮助。在适当的时候寻求帮助。
19.Make Your Own Path
选择适合自己的路
Those that reach their dreams usually don’t follow the normal path that everyone else does. Choose your own path. (Hint: It’s probably the one less traveled by…)
那些实现了自己梦想的人往往都没有跟随别人的步伐走在平常的路上，选好你自己的路。（暗示：这可能是一条很少有人有过的路）
