Many of us have dreams of things we’d like to accomplish in life, but haven’t yet. Perhaps it’s writing and publishing a novel. Perhaps it’s visiting the Taj Majal. Perhaps it’s finding an excellent relationship, acquiring material wealth, or climbing Mt. Kilimanjaro. Whatever it is, if you have a dream you’ve long nurtured but haven’t acted on, today’s article entitled “When Everyday Life Gets in the Way of Your Dreams – And A Plan To Get Past It” on The Simple Dollar blog may inspire you. In it, Trent describes how to transform a nebulous dream into an actionable reality.
He advises writing down the seed of the idea (eg. “I’d like to have a book published”), and then building on that idea until you have tangible steps to perform.
When the dream starts to get quite detailed, enough so that it begins to actually step out of the clouds of nebulousness and become something tangible that you can actually understand, think of the first step you can take to make that dream happen. … This step gives you a very specific action that you can follow to get started. It moves this dream from something tangible.

ah, that’s a really nice post.
my nebulous dream: going to Japan for various reasons.
I thought it seemed impossible before but perhaps now I will follow the steps listed.
Have you ever been to Japan (or any other country), Brian?
I have, Haley, and I loved it. Perhaps one day you’ll be able to visit Japan too, and you’ll see how amazing it is there.
