First, research skills, knowledge and expertise you’ll need to get to where you want to go and make a list. Although this is similar to #3, now that you know what your passion or purpose is, this step is more focused. So it’s about being intentional about which opportunities you pursue. “Some of us have great runways already built for us. If you have one, take off! But if you don’t have one, realize it is your responsibility to grab a shovel and build one for yourself and for those who will follow after you.” – Amelia Earhart You may have heard the example of August Kekulé and the benzene ring, which represents both these themes. He was thinking that in all nonchemical molecules, the atoms were lined up in some kind of straight line with 90-degree side chains coming off it. Once he knew the atoms in benzene, he was trying to come up with arrangements of them that were straight lines with side chains and it just wasn't working. Then he dreamt of the atoms forming as a snake, eventually reaching around with the snake's tail in its mouth. It seems exactly related to the fact that the prefrontal lobes that control censorship are, on average, much less active during dreams.

As you move toward your dreams, new opportunities will begin to move toward you but first, you need to take action. Write down what you want to dream about in your notebook.

Some things that seem to look like dreams occasionally occur in other stages of sleep.

Very often it's a person someone wants to dream of, and just a simple photo is an ideal trigger.

Marriage researcher Dr. John Gottman discovered that successful couples spend an extra 6 hours per week together (used to be called the Magic Five Hours). These moments were often small moments that couples were intentional about connecting at the beginning, in the middle and end of their days. All these small moments add up to 6 hours by the end of the week. Finally, do some more research and find out what training you can take to develop these new areas.
