Have You Stopped Dreaming?

Have you been so focused on surviving you’ve stopped dreaming?

So worried about the next fire?

Unsure about the bills?

Figuring out how to be a good parent?

So focused on making everyone around you happy?

Pushing to make sure everyone else’s dreams come true…

So many things come up along the journey of life, but if you stop dreaming where are you actually heading?

What will motivate you and excite you and keep you disciplined, if you don’t have a dream?

The unfortunate reality is, when you start to dream for yourself there are people around you that won’t understand. They can be the people closest to you, and that makes stepping toward your dream that much harder …

The people you would sacrifice anything for won’t understand when you start taking more of an approach on yourself. They will feel the absence that is created when you stop focusing on them and start moving toward your dream.

You may get look at as selfish and self-centered. In fact, chances are you will, that always seems to be the case.

People will think you have turned money hungry or that you are working too much. That you’re no longer a “team player” and only out for yourself.

Everyone will have some sort of an opinion when you start making yourself and your dreams your number one priority.

But if you don’t dream for yourself and put everything you have into achieving those dreams then who will?

Who will make sure you win if you are not focused on it? Who will guarantee your success if you don’t? The hard truth is…no one will. You and you alone are responsible for doing the work to reach your dream.

Stop wasting time, and get moving now. The sooner you start, the sooner your dreams will become a reality.
