Hunker Down or Dream? What will you choose?

>> 23 January 2009

My Friend Terrill Fischer shared this with me on Facebook yesterday. He had no idea how close I'd come to "hunkering down" instead of dreaming when it came across the wire: thanks for sharing Terrill

I was reading this post in a The MondayMorningMemo© of Roy H. Williams, the Wizard of Ads® a few weeks ago.... here is something in that really hit me between the eyes.

Hunker down or dream. It's your call.

The 7 Steps to Hunkering Down:
1. Stay scared. Call it "street smart."
2. Cultivate cynicism. Call it "straight talk."
3. Praise pessimism. Call it a "reality check."
4. Believe you are wiser than everyone else.
5. Feel secretly superior.
6. Take no action that might improve your condition.
7. Crow "I told you so" when things get worse.

The 7 Steps to Pursuing Your Dream
1. Know what you're trying to make happen.
2. Expect good things to happen for you.
3. Plant seeds of good things daily.
4. Trust that some of your seeds will grow.
5. Measure success by your own criteria.
6. Make progress daily without fail.
7. Believe in the power of the Elbs. (Exponential Little Bits)

Do you believe in your dream, or do you think it's only a fantasy?
