Are you living your dreams?
If the answer is no, then I ask "why not?" Life is
short, and you never know when it will come to an end. Do you
really want to say that you lived a life of unfulfilled dreams?

But "hold it!" you say. "I'm waiting for the
perfect time" or "I'm waiting for the perfect
situation". All this waiting is an excuse not to go out and
try.
Or, maybe it's not that you are "waiting" per se,
but rather that you are afraid.
So, what are you afraid of? Are you afraid of making a
mistake? Afraid of making the wrong choice? Are you afraid that
you may not be good enough? And what if the people around you
laugh at your dreams, or don't support you? Is that enough for
you to just give up?
And what happens if you do end up living your drams? Are you
afraid that once you get there then you'll have to live them?
Meaning that what you've been talking about for so long will now
come to fruition and you might not succeed?
Fear is the number one reason that people do not live their
dreams. Fear holds us back, sometimes paralyzing us, and
prevents us from moving forward. But, when you look back at your
life, what do you want it to be about? Do you want to say,
"I could have" or "I did"? The choice is
yours, what words do you want to come out of your mouth?
So How Do You Move Past Your Fears And Live You Dreams?
Follow These Easy Steps:
1. Acknowledge That You Have Dreams:
I meet so many people
who say that they don't have dreams or they can't remember what
they are. You know what your dreams are, you really do. You've
just pushed them down so deep that it might take some time to
bring them to the surface again. Let them out, you are worth it.
2. Write Down Your Dreams:
How can you live your dreams if
you can't see what they are? Write them down. Don't judge your
dreams or wonder "how?" Just do it!
3. Break Your Dreams Into Small Steps:
All accomplishments in
life happen when you take the first step. It doesn't have to be
large one. It just has to get you moving. Small steps will get
you to your dreams. Until, one day, you realize that you are
there.
4. Face The Barriers That Are Keeping You From Living Your
Dreams:
What's keeping you from living your dreams? Not enough
money or time? Too many responsibilities? Look for ways to
overcome this. There will always be a reason not to do
something. It's up to you if you want to give into these reasons
or not.
5. Find People Who Will Support You:
They should be people
who love you and will cheer you on as you move toward your
dreams. Tell them how much you love and appreciate them. You do
not want to live your dreams by yourself.
6. Pat Yourself On The Back For Your Successes:
You deserve
it! The fun part of living your dreams is the journey. It's the
piece that builds character and the piece that you will remember
the most.
7. Recognize That Fear Will Not Go Away:
There are times when
you will wonder if you have what it takes to fulfill your dreams
or if you deserve to live them. Fear is a normal part of human
nature. If you can accept that fear will occur during this
process then you don't have to spend time worrying what you will
do if you do get afraid because you will have this part handled.
The only way past fear is through it and not around it. You can
do it!
So, feel the fear and live your dreams anyway! There are no
guarantees, but the rewards are plentiful if you believe in
yourself. No one is going to live your dreams for you. It's up
to you to create your own life. Why not have that life filled
with dreams.
