Everybody at some point in their life would think of having a dream job. No matter how good or comfortable is your current job, I am sure you have had wished that you were working at a better job somewhere. This is normal as human beings we always strive to have the best in our life.

However, most of us just dream but never actually take real action to realize their dreams. Only a few have the courage to walk the talk and actually take real action to achieve their dreams in lives.

The good news is that you can go out and make your dream job a reality as long as you have a strong will to do so. Whatever the field, you can find a way to turn something you enjoy into a career.

Below are some practical tips you can use to turn your dream job or career into a reality:

1. First ask yourself these questions: "What do you really want in life?” "What will make you happy?” "What will make you feel passionate?” "What is the purpose of your life?”. By trying to answer these questions, you are actually doing some soul searching inside and dig out your passions or what you really want in your life. This technique is very effective and I strongly urge you to do this exercise. You will be amazed with the results you get from this simple technique or exercise.

2. Take the first step. The first step is always the most difficult step. But even a thousand mile journey must begin with the first step. Without actually taking the first step, you are not going to go any further. So take the courage to make your first step!

3. Break it down into steps. Sometimes when looking at the big picture, it’s easy to get overwhelmed and feel intimidated. By breaking it down into a series of smaller steps, it’s less daunting and much easier to manage as you progress forward. By breaking thing down into smaller steps and actually achieving each step at a time, your self-esteem and confidence will increase; it makes you feel that you can really achieve what you want if you break it down into a smaller scale and take action to make it happens.

4. Find a mentor. Every successful people used to have a mentor before they become a mentor themselves. Mentors can be very helpful when it comes to getting your dreams and goals in life. They have the skills and experiences to guide you to the right path.

5. Stay away from the negative people. Unfortunately, there are many negative people around these days. These people can drag you down and destroy your dreams. So I strongly urge you to stay away from negative people. Surround yourself with positive people instead and those who see things in a positive perspective. When you surround yourself with positive people, your mindset will change and you will become more positive in life.

Last but not least, the journey to success will always be filled with problems and challenges. Do not expect something like walking in the park. You must have the courage to face your challenges head on if you are serious about achieving your dreams and get what you really want in life. Believe me, it is well worth your time and effort!
