Not Dreaming Big Enough

Here are Six Reasons That You Are Not Dreaming Big Enough…

Don’t Have a Clear Dream – Do you know what your dream really is? You say you want to be a successful. What does that mean? You say you want to be a writer. Of what? You say you want a new career. Doing what? You must be clear in your dreams. Whether it is to be a best-selling author or an expert in your field. Be specific about what you want to accomplish.

Don’t Know Your Own Limits – Many people aim too low in their dreams because they underestimate their own abilities. The truth is, you don’t know your personal limits until you test them. I promise you that you are stronger than you think. Push yourself and stretch your dreams.

Don’t Have the Discipline – Too many people flit from one thought to another. One day they dream of owning their own business, the next they want to be an actor. They have settled with the job they have because they don’t have the discipline to follow through on any one thing. Choose your dream and be resolute in your pursuit.

Lack of Expertise/Skills – People let their dreams slip and use the excuse, “I don’t know how to do that.” Well, get out there and LEARN. Pay your dues, put in the hard work, and stick with it. (Refer back to #3). No one starts as an expert or master in their field.

There Are Obstacles in Your Way - There are always going to be things in your way of your dreams. (Otherwise, they wouldn’t be dreams.) Sometimes, they are small things, other times they are brick walls. That shouldn’t stop you. Obstacles are there to make you prove how badly you want your dreams.

You Are Scared of Failure – When you are scared of being unsuccessful, you set your sights too low. If I pursue that dream, I might fail. It’s easier to say where I am. When was the last time you allowed yourself to fail.
