How to Live your Dreams
Posted on May 20, 2015 by Michael Wigge, One of Thousands of Life Coaches on Noomii.
My life goal is to live my dreams & support others in the same. Living dreams also means hard work. Here is an example of how I received my green card
I moved from Germany to the United States in 2013 for business and private reasons. In 2012, I released one of my TV shows on PBS and then got invited by Jay Leno to the Tonight Show. So I have always wanted to follow-up with my work in the U.S. Personally I like the friendliness, politeness, the positivity and the open communication I always experienced in the U.S..
So, to be able to stay in the U.S., I had to get a green card. Since I do not plan to marry anyone at this stage, I had to get the green card through “extraordinary professional qualifications”. Luckily I did appear on the Tonight Show next to Katy Perry, I had produced 7 TV documentary series and was awarded with several TV awards for them.
These successful years have made it possible to get approved for the green card. But there also was a hard eight months application process to prove all my references for the green card. This meant that I had to translate German tax office statements, get reference letters from employees I hadn’t spoken with for more than ten years and establish a file folder exactly nine inches thick. There were times during the eight months process I was feeling like throwing that folder out of the window, because it was boring, never-ending work.
But with the support of my great attorney, I got the folder together and reached my goal. The green card was definitely part of my life dreams, because it opens doors, both culturally and professionally.
Looking back on those tedious eight months, I am happy that I have not given up that process, that I have always believed in this goal to be met as a part of my dreams. I hope this can inspire you to always try to live your dreams and to do so to keep an eye on these things:
-Recognize personal blockages which could stop you
-Keep an eye on any kind of fear which could hold you back
-Define your goals clearly and develop a strategy plan
This is exactly what I do with my clients in life coaching. For any questions, please contact me or check out my coaching webpage for more details.
May all your dreams come true in 2015!
My best,
