Dream Crushers

What comes to mind when you read the title? Dream relates to what you envision your life to be or what you would like to see happen in the future. Crushers relates to the factors that impede one’s process in fulfilling these dreams or aspirations. Here are at least three reasons one does not prosper in fulfilling one’s dreams and aspirations:

1. Self-doubt
2. Lack of opportunity or resources
3. Failure to try

Sometimes we can be our worst enemies at times because of self-doubt, we tell ourselves we cannot do it, or it is impossible. Most of us often blame our situations and people around us for not living up to our full potential. Is it really their fault? Do they really stop you from say filling out that application? Going to that class or seminar? Do you find yourself becoming more creative with excuses to stop yourself from taking action in living and acquiring your dreams and aspirations? Reality is most times opportunity does not pop up in front of us, we must understand that without effort nothing happens. They say anything that is easily attained can easily be taken away. When you work hard to achieve your dreams and your goals, you will hold onto it.

 

If you do not try something you will never know if it is possible. The more, you do, the closer you get to your dream and the easier it is to eliminate the unnecessary. First thing you must make sure of is that your dreams and aspirations are realistic in terms of are they possible? How much would it mean for you to fulfill these dreams and aspirations? Are there means in fulfilling them, but you just cannot get to them now?

 

 

A Few Solutions

Sometimes we are told dreaming are for fools. Our very own family sometimes discourage us, and we convince ourselves that they are right. No, they are not right. If you know you will never be truly happy if you do not accomplish your dreams and aspirations, you need to push forward. Three ways to do this are:

1. Do your research on what you are trying to accomplish
2. Surround yourself with positive people; especially those who believe in you
3. See a counselor to help you along with accomplishing these goals by supplying you with resources and a new way of thinking.

Keep in mind that dreams and aspirations do not only relate to jobs, career, business, or money. Dreams and aspirations also relates to personal fulfillment, changes in behavior/attitude, changes in our relationship with loved ones, reconnecting, and being happy. Sometimes we need help to do this and the first step is to ask. Do not be the crusher of your own dreams. Success is in your hands!
