Books written by John C. Maxwell are generally informational, inspirational and motivational. When I looked at the title of his new book, Put Your Dream To The Test: 10 Questions to Help You See It and Seize It, I decided this was one I wanted to study cover to cover - I’m glad I did.
Personally, I’m fascinated by how I’m more motivated to achieve some of my goals than I am other ones because at the time I write a goal, each one seems so important to me. Put Your Dream To The Test: 10 Questions to Help You See It and Seize It provided the chance to answer ten thought provoking questions that helped me determine just how “badly” I wanted to achieve and succeed at making each of my goals reality. I have to admit, it was an eye-opener!
If you enjoy taking quizzes and analyzing the answers, you’ll enjoy this book. Not only are you reading inspirational success stories and motivational quotations from people who have been there and achieved their own dreams, you’re working on a plan for achieving your dreams for success.
Give yourself quality time to read this book – it is a hands-on read!
Each chapter covers ten questions that when answered and understood can take your dream and make it reality.
Chapter One: The Ownership Question: Is my dream really my dream?
Chapter Two: The Clarity Question: Do I clearly see my dream?
Chapter Three: The Reality Question: Am I depending on factors within my control to achieve my dream?
Chapter Four: The Passion Question: Does my dream compel me to follow it?
Chapter Five: The Pathway Question: Do I have a strategy to reach my dream?
Chapter Six: The People Question: Have I included the people I need to realize my dream?
Chapter Seven: The Cost Question: Am I willing to pay the price for my dream?
Chapter Eight: The Tenacity Question: Am I moving closer to my dream?
Chapter Nine: The Fulfillment Question: Does working toward my dream bring satisfaction?
Chapter Ten: Significance Question: Does my dream benefit others?
Take the time to carefully work and study each question so you’ll have a step-by-step plan for the future. This step-by-step plan is well worth your time and effort!
I enjoyed working the questions, reading the stories and developing a plan of action. Honestly, there’s nothing earth shattering and new in this book – you’ve probably heard and read it all before. What’s important is that Put Your Dream To The Test: 10 Questions to Help You See It and Seize It gives you the workable tools to fine-tune your dream and develop a viable plan for achieving it.
How much you get out of this book is based upon how much you’re willing to put into it. If you’ve been thinking about writing new goals and are determined you’re going to achieve them, then this could be the right book at the right time for you.
