THE YUME EXPERIMENT SEASON II: DAY 3 & 4 / WHAT ARE YOU WILLING TO DO TO MAKE YOUR DREAMS COME TRUE (FOR REAL!)?

yumemike — Mon, 05 Mar 2012 11:47:27 +0000

This weekend I chose to focus on reading and working on putting myself in a position to create the environment needed to tackle my projected experiment list in a more focused and structured way. What I found funny was that I actually ended up relaxing and taking time to breathe in a totally different way. During that time I had a Eureka! moment which took my thoughts deeper into the reflection of what I have set out to do and how it will effect me throughout this 6 month period of time. Not only did I figure out ways to tackle these projects, but some innovative concepts that will make the experiment worth even more to my personal progression. I called up a few people who are in the same mental space as I am and we exchanged these ideas.

This made me wonder, Was it the new found focus that I have created through The YUME Experiment that has allowed me to think so freely? Where in the world did these ideas come from and will they really be tangible projects? I then took these questions and put them into tangible action. I first started by writing them down and then answering them as openly as possible. I came up with long answers, but the basic premise was this, “The ideas you have are only as good as the actions you set forth to make them happen.” I found this answer to be brutally honest, even for a conversation with myself. Even though I have tons of ideas daily, I never have given myself the chance to hone in on them and make them happen in a structured manner. This can be applied to projects that are even taking place right now. So I decided to stop the BS, pull up my bootstraps and get to work! Because at the end of the day, these are my ideas and dreams and if I’m not willing to cut the fat and get to the meat, then there is no reason to continue along this road or carry out this experiment.

What can you do to hone in on your ideas and innovative concepts? Are you really willing to be brutally honest with yourself about your personal work ethic? What are you really willing to do to make your dreams come true (for real!)?

Day 3 & 4
Lesson
“You never know what will be until you place it in motion. Great ideas are a prelude to great actions.”

TYE SII:DAY 2- CHALLENGE YOURSELF!

yumemike — Sat, 03 Mar 2012 10:36:03 +0000

How often do you truly challenge yourself? Most times we say we want something, but do we look to challenge ourselves within the process of attaining those goals? Today was phenomenal, I had the opportunity to sit in a Turkish Coffee room and share ideas with community leaders from across NYC. This was an experience I have never had before, but it did not seem foreign to me. It seemed as though I was supposed to be there sharing the energy in the room, utilizing the knowledge and experiences I have accrued over time and putting them into practical use. Was this a result of me truly challenging my intellect as well as my ability to place myself in different situations? Totally!

I decided that during this second experiment that I would become more of the me I was supposed to be rather than the me I chose to be. I have always wanted to incite change in the world and leave a viable legacy through my actions. Unfortunately throughout the years I became comfortable with the role I chose to play while pursuing these dreams and did not challenge myself to be the absolute best person I could be within all roles of my life. Today was a phenomenal example of what I can do if I put myself int he mindset of consistently challenging myself.

I am sure that most of us find ourselves crippled by mediocrity at some point within our daily lives. We choose to eat that cupcake instead of exercising or we don’t read that book because it seems irrelevant to us at the moment. But what if we all woke up each day trying to attain the highest possible level of our individual potential and utilized it to make a better world? What do you think the world would look like? How can you challenge yourself daily? What can you do to make a consistent change that will not only benefit you, but those around you?

DAY 2 Lesson

“Challenge yourself!”

DAY 1: THE YUME EXPERIMENT SEASON II – WHAT DO YOU WAKE UP FOR?

yumemike — Fri, 02 Mar 2012 10:25:07 +0000

Even though it was day 1, I really hit the ground running. I was able to accomplish every thing I set out to do during the course if my day. I really think the first experiment, which took 1 whole year, allowed me to get a stronger grasp on what it is to become dedicated beyond distraction. I even have a secret weapon that I indulge in to help keep me going. This has allowed me to really persevere through my lifestyle change within TYE SII. I have a few phenomenal books I am reading right now, which I will share with you guys once I finish them. This weekend is all about some heavy reading and learning some phenomenal new vocabulary. I think I might hit the Brooklyn Botanical Gardens too if the weather permits. It’s a great reading spot. How can you find a pracical way to create focus and dedication for achieving your goals? What is your starting point? If it takes 1 year or more t achieve the focus you need are you willing to put in the time?
