How
Big Are Your Dreams?
When all around us is quiet and we think no one is looking or
listening, it's amazing what dreams we uncover in our minds. These might be
secret dreams that even those closest to us don't know. These are dreams that
are so sacred to us that we don't want to expose them to the harsh realities of
the world, lest they be tarnished. But when we limit our ability to dream, we
are limiting our ability to succeed. You have the right and the duty to dream
bigger than you think is possible. For how else will your prove yourself wrong?
The Big Dreams
Right now, take a few moments to remember your big dreams as a child. You
probably wanted to be a firefighter or an astronaut. These dreams didn't seem
out of your reach because you hadn't learned yet that the world doesn't believe
that everything is possible. You just knew that you wanted to be something that
you could be it if you really, really wanted to. To paraphrase a famous book
title-everything you really needed to know, you actually did know as a child.
Why Not Go Bigger?
What's interesting is that we are a society that believes that bigger is better,
but that is not always the case when it comes to dreams. We think that only when
we have certain levels of education, certain degrees and certain experience, we
can THEN be successful and THEN we can be happy. This is not the case. Think,
for example, of Mother Teresa. She wanted to help those that were less
fortunate, so she did. She didn't have training and she didn't have a lot of
money- but she did have a big dream.
If Bill Gates didn't believe that he could create a better computer program
(though he didn't have a college degree or any business experience), where would
Microsoft be? Would it even exist?
There are thousands of stories of people who have successfully dreamed bigger
than anyone thought possible- and then they made the impossible, well, possible.
You Need Bigger Dreams
For today, begin to believe that all of your 'wildest' dreams are quite
possible. Not only will you have a smile on your face, but you will also begin
to see new possibilities for making your dreams come true. When you don't place
limits on yourself, you will begin to notice new avenues to take which you may
not have noticed in a more negative mindset.
Even if you're not ready to share your big dreams with the world, you should
begin to share them with yourself. You can have more and be more in your life,
but you need to believe it is possible. Maybe you won't have a multi-million
dollar company, but you might begin and successfully run a successful local
business - and that might make you just as happy.
You have permission to dream as big as you would like, as many times as you
would like. Dreaming big allows you to broaden your landscape as well as your
mind - as well as increase your chances of success many times over.
