Even though our dreams might be grand and would make us happier than anything, the pressure of trying to attain them and the anxiety of having to wait for them to materialise is sometimes just unbearable. It seems as though we are stagnating or, even worse, moving backwards.
This is the time when most of us decide to just give up hope. I have actively thrown in the towel on a number of my dreams for fear of failure, lack of self-confidence or just plain exhaustion. However, after immersing myself in the autobiographies of the world's most successful people, I can boldly say: WHEN YOU FEEL LIKE THIS, DON'T GIVE UP!
Too often we let go of our dreams just as they are about to become a reality. When you feel as though the struggle is too much to bear, that is the EXACT moment when your dream is actually coming into being. Giving up will mean that you choose to let it slip through your fingers, even though it was right within your reach.
The greatest dreams are always followed by the biggest struggles. If they weren't, then the dream would not be a dream - it would simply be part of every day life. To set yourself a challenging goal is the most rewarding thing you can do for yourself, as you are openly affirming that you are capable of achieving the impossible.
Something we never stop to consider is the energetic shifts we make with one thought. What you don't realise is that if you have taken the time to think about your dream, to write it down and tell others about it, a process has been set in motion. This process is far beyond our imagination and is something that we will never see, but it is happening - every minute of every day. If you believe that your dream is important to you, then live it. Instead of thinking about how you aren't getting where you need to be fast enough, instead thank yourself for having the courage to dream big.
If you have set your intention, and you know in your heart that you are following your purpose, the mechanics of your dream will fall into place. You will never know how to make it all happen, but I can guarantee that if you stay focused on what you want and trust that you deserve it, everything you wish for will become real - when the time is right. For now, all you can do is stay determined and know that your dream is just around the corner.
Next time you wake up and feel like it's not worth it and you want to give up, ask yourself:
- How would this dream change my life?
- If I achieved this dream, how would I feel about myself?
- How could this dream help those I love?
- Why wouldn't I want to keep moving towards my dream?
- Are the obstacles I see really obstacles?
- Who can help me to get over these challenges?
And then close your eyes and see yourself making your dream happen. You will never want to part from it again!
