Question

how should we work to make the dream of national luminaries come true​

Answer 1

Answer:

To help everyone take that first step, we've asked our luminaries to answer some questions about dreams and what it takes to make them come true.

Explanation:

It’s important to first know that humans often fail at finding and achieving dreams that truly fulfill us.

Why is that? Well, we often find ourselves going after extrinsic dreams like material gain, instead of what really fulfills us – intrinsic dreams. These are dreams that we desire and have taken on for ourselves. Also, we frame many of our dreams as things we ought to do to avoid disaster, often called avoidance goals. We do this instead of outlining approach goals, meaning things we’d like to do to achieve an ideal.

Even when we have identified long-term dreams, our short-term goals override them.

It’s easy to trick ourselves into feeling satisfied once a short-term goal is met. As humans, we’re much more apt to go after the shiny things right in front of us (short-term benefits) versus investing in something that is far off in the distance, sometimes so far off that it’s hard to even imagine. That’s why long-term dreams are so difficult – and why we sometimes need a plan to stay on course.

We can help people achieve their dreams by making them into actionable plans.

Dreams, specifically achieving them, can be overwhelming. Like many good things in life, dreams take long-term investment, a great deal of work, and, most importantly, a plan. It’s important that our plans have steps that we can take each day to show progress and to help make our dreams seem feasible. That is actually the key to pursuing a big dream – small actions that, when completed, can lead to big results.
