I hear everyday about people having dreams, and never doing anything with it. "
Oh, I want to be an actress. But I know I can never do that." "I wish I could write a book. But I know no one will read it." "I'm dying to travel the world. But I know I can't."
All the time I hear people saying what they want, and following it with an
I can't. That little voice in your head is the main reason people keep their dreams, well, just a dream. There are many other reasons, I've decided to list a few.
I think the first step in making your dreams come true is realizing what's standing in your way and why you think you can't.
1.
Fear.
(Fear is a hard thing to overcome. But regret is harder to live with)
People are afraid to take risks. Afraid they will fail. It's natural to want security. To ensure that you won't end up on the streets or starve. It's natural to be afraid of rejection and sometimes afraid what people will think. But, it is possible to either overcome that fear, or fight through it to make your dreams happen. In my opinion, fear is the biggest obstacle and one of the biggest reasons people don't do anything with their dreams.
2. Others telling you that you can't.
That's another problem. There will always be people looking to put others down. To tell you that you can't do it. Mainly, that's because they either wanted the same thing and never did anything, or they tried and failed. So they will tell you that you can't. That it's just not possible. That's the power of words. Especially, if it comes from your own family and friends. It's discouraging and might just persuade you out of doing anything with your dream.
3. It's hard.
Well if you thought it was going to be easy, you are probably kidding yourself. Depending on what you want to reach for, you're chances could very well be 1 in a million. That's a very slim chance. It's going to be hard. Nothing in life that's worth anything is easy. The difficult path leads to adventures and experiences you might never have had otherwise. But, the fact that it's hard and you're chances are very slim, will discourage many and lead them down a different path. A path that might lead to unhappiness. Or regret. All because it's hard.
