At different stages in life, people have different ideals that they look up to. During the early years of school, people idolize A-grade students, and they want to be among those that are considered high academic achievers.
When school ends and people start looking for work, they idolize different employers that are market leaders in their industry. When they are hired as interns, they idolize permanent employees. Once they are employed, they start idolizing people that are higher up in the chain of command. No matter where you are in life, there is always someone, something, or someplace that is still on the to-do list.
Some ideals change, or at least don’t change that frequently. For instance, religions, religious personalities, countries, or even personal passions and dreams are things people believe in consistently and permanently. Achieving these different ideals takes time. In some cases, it isn't even possible, but these ideals serve as concepts that we should continue to strive towards. Here are a few things you can do to demonstrate your love for your ideal.
Learn
People generally set a thing or person as their ideal when they learn something very unique or special about that subject. If someone has an ideal car, that is most likely because that car has a specific design or a certain feature that they really like. However, that one aspect of the subject that a person likes is only one feature, and there are likely more features of the same subject that are also worth appreciating. For instance, most people only know Cuba for its cigars, but there are many other things about this country that are worth appreciating. For example, it is also home to a range of world heritage sites.
If there is a certain individual that you are very inspired by because they are an amazing athlete, business person, intellectual, or anything else, there are likely many other things that contributed to them reaching that level. By learning these other things, you can start to understand how they became the person that they are. Aiming to be an excellent athlete is great, but you need to know how to become one. By learning about how your ideal athlete trained and lived his or her life, you can start to develop a path for yourself.
Celebrate
In this pursuit of your ideal, you also have to take out time to rest and enjoy your accomplishments. If you wanted to be an international player, and so far, you have only made it to your college team, that is still something worthy of celebration. Many people have not even made it to the college team. How you choose to celebrate this victory, all depends on your interests.
For some people, this could mean taking a few days off and enjoying a vacation. For others, it could just be having a party at home with their friends. You can also add to your personal style with patriotic items and decorate your home with them. If you want to play for a certain international team you can wear their colors or hang their flag in your house.
These little celebrations help to give you the energy and the strength you need to keep moving forward and keep overcoming the obstacles that come your way. If possible, celebrate in a way in which your ideal is the center of the celebration. This will help keep you motivated and keep your mind focused on your objective.
Practice
The things that we set as our ideals or as our most desired situations are not usually easy to get. We might have something that is extremely good for someone else, but we will not see its real value because we have idolized something else. The fact that we can’t get our ideal, or at least we can't get it that easily, plays a big role in why we idolize it in the first place. The one thing that we can do to make our ideas a reality is to work towards that goal. Whether that means physical training, learning, or even practicing a certain way of life to get to a certain goal.
The only way to effectively translate your ideal into your own reality is to take the necessary steps. Meditating, praying, and believing in manifestation only work when you put in the effort to achieve something. There are going to be countless times when you fail when you feel too tired to put in the effort, and when you are unmotivated to keep going, but without consistency, the objective can't be achieved. For some people, the results might come quicker than they do for others, but one has to keep trying to ensure that they will see the desired results one day.
Share
Taking part in civic duties and demonstrating altruism is one of the best ways to keep yourself happy and keep yourself moving in the right direction. If you are working towards your ideal, it can help tremendously to surround yourself with like-minded people and invest in growing as a group. You can do it on your own, but it can be much harder to keep yourself on track. Moreover, with a group of people, you can also drastically increase the speed at which you learn, and you can increase your chances of success.
By sharing knowledge and experiences, you develop a network of people that are aiming for the same ideals that you are working for. Together you will have more opportunities and more resources that will benefit everyone in that ecosystem. In the modern world, it is so easy to find groups and networks online. People from all over the world can connect through online platforms for virtually no cost and grow as a group. You will also improve the quality of your own learning by sharing knowledge and teaching others.
Visit
Suppose you have an ideal country that you want to live in or even an ideal person that you want to be like, get in physical contact with the person, place, or thing. Life coaches often talk about the power of visualizing your goals and dreams. An even better strategy is to physically experience the things that you want. If that is a car, then go to a dealership and see it in real life. Sit in it, experience it, learn about it and try to interact with that idea as much as you can.
If you want to live in a certain country but aren’t in a situation to do it right away, you can still visit that place for a few days and get to experience it. If you want to be like a certain person, you might not have access to that person, but you can still meet other people who are also connected to that professional.
One of the main selling points of top universities is that they are the same places where some of the best minds in the world have studied. For a lot of students, just being in the same libraries and living in the same dorms is a very motivating factor. When you visit these things in real life, you might even learn a few new things that you didn’t know in the past.
Innovate
Just because your ideal took a certain path doesn’t mean you have to do exactly the same thing. Their path is a good general outline, but the aim should be to get the same experience rather than follow the same path. Rather than following their training routine, your aim should be to achieve the same results of that training routine, even if that means doing things differently. Creating your own path and trying out things on your own is a great way to discover hidden opportunities.
In fact, just because something has worked for someone else doesn’t guarantee that it will work for you. If you have tried it and it didn’t work, you need to innovate and find some other way to get the same results. You might even find something that works more efficiently than what you have studied or learned from your ideal. This is another way to show your ideal that you are putting in the time and effort to reach your goal.
Striving for any goal or objective takes time, and it is usually a difficult task. When we see highly successful people, it’s easy to undermine their hard work by thinking that they were just gifted or they had access to opportunities that we don’t. In reality, even with those gifts and those opportunities, they had to work very hard to get to where they are today.
At the same time, just because you don’t have the same resources doesn’t mean you will never get there. You can not only get there but also go even further if you are willing to put in the time and effort required. There will be many setbacks and failures along the way, but as long as you keep moving in the right direction, you will make it eventually.
