Early in life, we all have these grand dreams with no limits or doubts about them. As we continue to age, we begin to hone in on a smaller number of them. These dreams are so grand just one of them seems as if it may take a couple of lifetimes to accomplish. We continue to age with this thought process and get to the point where the dream intimidates us. The intimidation comes from the unknown. You don’t know what it takes to achieve it and you don’t what you should possess to achieve it. I can’t tell you what it will take to achieve your dream but I can tell you what you need to possess. You need unwavering focus. A controlled obsessive compulsion to work in your dream. Yes, in it. Be it. Live it.
Some say if your dream doesn’t scare you, it’s not big enough. I disagree. If you are intimidated by your dream, you are not familiar enough with the dream. You are not doing enough to get to know it. There are too many unknowns. Why would you fear exactly what you want to do in this world? It doesn’t make any sense at all. You are putting yourself way behind by never starting. Ask yourself, what are the chances someone walks up to me and hands me my dream? What are the chances I go to sleep having done nothing and wake up with my dream accomplished? If these questions are silly, how silly is it living as if one of these will occur? You have yet to reach the hard part. You must first choose to start. Once you do that you can then begin to learn and practice the discipline of unwavering focus.

Okay, let’s say you’ve made the choice to start. First, a couple of facts. You are not the only one with big dreams. You are not the only one who has the guts to chase it. You are not the only one equipped to accomplish it. How will you get to it? Focus. Even after the choice of chasing it, you will have a bunch of distractions. You’ll need the ability to separate what grabs for your attention from what needs your attention. Even what is important from what’s most important. You will need to allow things that are important to slip a little or a lot. You can’t have an unwavering focus on something and not have lack in others. This is why your choice must be your dream or ultimate goal because there will be casualties. Relationships, potential memories, trips, quality time with others will go away. Care and interest in things that may deserve your attention will not exist. If you ever wondered why so many dreams are never realized it’s because of the price.
In closing, this is not for everyone. Forget your dreams scaring you. They shouldn’t but the discipline, the sacrifice, the risk, the distractions, the overall price of your dreams may but it shouldn’t deter you. This is the test. This is the cost. This is the price others are paying to experience what they’ve dreamt about since it was accompanied by 10-20 others as a child. Are you willing to pay the price? Is it time for another dream? Are you done with dreaming? If stopping and forgetting about your dream is such a good idea why is it still on your mind? It’s clearly compulsively obsessed with you. Why not give it that same attention and see how the relationship works out? What do you have to lose? The job you have. The apartment or house you are living in. The monotony of your day to day life. The thoughts of if you could have done it. Okay, what do you have to lose other than things you don’t want anyway?
Food for thought…You do the dishes.
