The Dream Bottle: Make It Happen!

This is a method to stay on top of your goals, track them, and make your dreams come true. It’s not impossible to achieve everything you want in life. You can really make your own dreams come true by using the dream bottle method.

To make a continual effort at achieving your lifelong dreams you must have more than a goal but a visual representation. Creating your dream bottle does this very thing. To create your dream bottle clean out or find an empty glass soda bottle or beer bottle. Pull any labels and or stickers off it. You want it to look clean and as clear as possible. You need to be able to see the contents of the bottle through the outside.

Get a sheet of notebook paper and write down all your dreams as they come to you. What do you really want in life? Where do you want to go? Who do you want to be? Put your dreams in a paragraph form. Write the date and time at the top of this sheet of paper.

After you’ve written down your dream paragraph skip a line or two and then list in order starting at the first goal you need to accomplish to become closer to achieving your dreams. If one of your dreams were to be thinner. Than your first goal should be to drop a certain amount of weight. This numbered goal list will vary depending on what your dreams were.

Once you are done with the goal list read over the entire sheet and then sign your name at the bottom under your signed name write the following: “I will not give up nor give in. I will achieve my goals and make my dreams come to life.” Make another copy of your dream/goal sheet to hang up on your wall or desk where you can check it frequently.

Now roll the other single sheet of paper up and slide it into your clear glass bottle. Drop one dime into the dream bottle. This dime represents the time you will be dedicating your life to your dreams. The ten cent dime signifies the next ten months of your new quest. Do not worry many dreams and goals take more time than ten months but we are only going to focus on ten months at a time. So, when the ten months are up and you still have some more dreams and goals to work you just drop in another dime.

The dime is the visual for time. For every day you spend working on your goals which should be every single day for the next ten months you should drop one penny into your dream bottle. Like the saying, “a penny for your thoughts.” Each penny will represent your effort towards your goals & dreams.

If one of your goals was to loose weight and you worked out that day drop one penny in the bottle. Do not drop more than one penny in the bottle per day. As in life there is no such thing as a do-over or bonus credit. This is the point of the bottle. It is a visual of what you want, what you’ve done, and what more you have to do. Keep your dream bottles near your bed stand or somewhere in clear eyesight that you will notice when you wake up in the morning and when you go to bed.

When the bottle is full keep it and start a new one mark the new dream bottle with a number two on the lid and do not add another dime. With the dream bottle as a constant reminder and visual of what you want to achieve your dreams will come true in no time. You will accomplish all your goals and stay motivated.

Lost motivation is the number one reason many people do not stick to their goals. The dream bottle will keep you on the road to success!
