Your dreams are more than just fantasies; they are a spiritual part of you. You strive towards them because you believe in them. Often when your mind wanders, you think of those dreams. The big ones, mostly. It can be daunting to allow yourself to find hope in something that is not concrete, but you should never stop yourself from dreaming. The thing stopping you is most likely your fear of failure or mistakes. It is redundant to allow fear of messing up override the possibility to dream. If you are to achieve the life you have always wanted, then errors along the journey are inevitable. Do not ever let a fear of mistakes stop you. The path to achieving your dreams will be one out of your comfort zone, a world you have not delved into before. Don't be discouraged- this is part of the rollercoaster journey that is life. Remembering this will ease you as you grab hold of those omnipresent dreams. If you truly believe in something, do not dismiss it in your mind. Things that persist for the right reasons deserve to be remembered. The opportunity to make your dreams a reality will come one day, hence why you must never cloud your mind and lose sight of what matters. Opportunities can come in disguises just as people can; don't immediately say no to a chance that comes your way. Patience is key when reaching for the stars (because they definitely can be reached). People who are well established with families and successful careers still work towards their dreams. You will be striving for a long time, but it will all be worth it in the end. Fuel your hunger by knowing that the right door could open tomorrow. Don't be disheartened if your dreams change. With the copious amounts of knowledge you are equipped with each day, of course your ideals will sway from time to time. This is not to say that your previous dreams were a waste of time pursuing. If anything, that commitment and dedication would have taught you a few things about yourself. Every experience is a learning experience. To anyone who claims to have "no dreams": everyone has desires in life, no matter how big or small. Rack that brain of yours and find something that would make you really content with life. Set yourself a dream (or a few!).
Chase those dreams
We have established that nothing should hold you back, so how do you get to a point where you can achieve your dreams? There isn't one answer to this, regardless of who you ask, but there are a few common steps to follow. With anything you set to achieve, you will need basic goals to get there. Think of goals as being pieces of Lego that build up to the ultimate structure. A good starting point is identifying what your goals will be. A mood-board can capture this very well. (Mood-boards are large pieces of paper filled with words and pictures that have a common theme. In this case, your goal/s for that mood-board will be the common theme.) Your mood-board should be stuck on a wall that you pass every day of your life so you never lose sight of your goals- literally! When setting your goals, make them achievable. If you want to achieve a goal that will take a long time to achieve, by all means do so, but designate that as a long term one. To gain confidence you need to set short term ones that you genuinely see yourself achieving. Along the way, ask for guidance from experts or people who have a clear idea of what you desire. These people can be near and dear or distant names you have read about. Just because you do not know them does not mean they will not help. Pride your success when your goals are achieved. To get to that point, you have worked very hard and deserve that self-recognition. For the laborious journey you have gone through to get to where you are, there needs to be a sense of self pride to continue pushing you to strive harder. Above everything, stay positive and never give up. These words have likely been imprinted into your mind from your early days in school because they are words to live by. No one's life is smooth sailing from start to finish, yet so many people still achieve happiness. They didn't get to a high point in life by sitting around aimlessly; they stayed positive and fought for what they wanted. Dream big, achieve your dreams, and mould a life of quality.
