7 signs that you have decided to give up on your dreams
Tips Motivation / / December 19, 2019
Every person has a dream. Dream everything from baby and finishing with an ancient old man. To dream there are no rules and limits. You can not take and prohibit dream, and no one ever. No one can kill a dream... except ourselves. We are easy to give up their dreams because of laziness or perceived benefits. If you tell a man that his dreams are ridiculous, he does not cease to dream. But if he decides that it is nonsense, then the dream goes.
And there are those who do not give up, but sometimes go astray in the way. The farther you go, the harder it is to return. On the way there is a huge amount of temptation, well-disguised as the right way. What horrible will happen if I linger a bit on here this pleasant stage of the journey? Or the passer-by has seen life and then says, I can listen to it? And gradually grows in front of you is a huge wall of your apology, constant delays, glancing at someone near and banal laziness. Each has its own wall and its obstacles. But on the road, you can always go back to the dream. The main thing - to follow closely for warning signs;)

excuses
Who among us has not justified why failed to do what they wanted, or what should have been? Starting from the school (my dog ate a textbook) to the serious work (standing in a traffic jam, I forgot the keys to translate the old lady across the street).
There are people who only rarely met, and someone all life - is sheer excuse. And so they accumulate and accumulate until reaching a critical mass, and you sweep away the avalanche of "failed", "failed", "paused", "I do not know how", etc.
The most interesting and important thing is that all these excuses come up with ourselves. And while part of us is well aware that in this way is just trying to get out of the difficult path that leads to the fulfillment of dreams. Anyone who understands this and works hard, always succeeds.
Fear
I do not know a single person who would in his life at least once did not feel fear. It may be a fear of anything. But the most common option (the fear of losing loved ones and phobias do not count) - a fear of failure. Scared to start something that previously you never did. And suddenly will not work?! Afraid to go to work in another country, afraid to go to an important meeting. Even positive changes - it is always at least a little, but it is terrible.
Someone saved mantra "everything that is done, is done for the better", someone needs a strong shoulder for secure close, someone needs the right "kick" out of life. Whoever was able to overcome their fear and cross the line, already half way to success. And someone all his life and continues to fear and just sits in his safe cocoon, afraid to stick his nose. And achieve the dream all postponed and postponed until it is too late.
If all continued to be afraid to do something new, mankind would still be ran on Forests with sticks.
Analysis
Analysis - this is not always a bad thing. Good to analyze financial performance, before deciding where and how to invest money. But there are things that are not initially amenable to rational analysis. He simply kills.
When analyzing, you can find a variety of frightening things that can happen... but can not. In any case, until you try - you do not know! Sometimes on the way to the dream should be postponed logic aside and act intuitively. For example, Steve Jobs turned out fine balance between analysis and intuition.
Someday…
It seems to me that nothing is more distant and unattainable than the date of "sometime". Someday I'll go from here. Someday I'm going to do a job that I like. Someday I'll lose weight. Someday I'll learn to ride a windsurfing. Someday I will have a family. Someday I'll tell him what I thought, and I will not hold back. The list of such "someday" is endless.
Are you sure that this is a cherished time in general will come? Do you have a list with the label "someday"? Maybe we should reconsider the date of?
If only…
Oh, this is the second most common excuse after "someday." If only I had been born in another country. If only I had more money. If only I did not listen to their parents and did what he wanted. If... If, yes if only ...
All this is wrong! This - hackneyed excuse those who simply laziness. I know people who are in a rather mature age took a chance to go to a foreign country, almost without knowing the language. As a result, in the forty years they successfully entered the University, graduated with honors and is now working at a job that they like. And if they thought that they were not so lucky to be born in Ukraine, they do not have the right job ties, without which a decent job does not get, and it would sit in their small office, waiting handouts.
And this example is not the only one! I could start talking about people with special needs, who do what a man full generally fail to perform as all waiting for the right occasion or complains about the lack of necessary moment.
I do not…
Are you worried that you can not give people something special? What-what they expect of you?
We all have something we can share with the world. Something that can make it even a little better. Add the drop that makes up the ocean. It is foolish to fear what you can not do something better than others, or that you're not so talented.
Someone just does what he is interested in, absolutely not thinking about the fact that these actions are helping others get closer to the dream at least one step.
Comfort zone
You can be very comfortable in the little world that you have created around themselves. But this little world, alas, it is not something that you ever dreamed. And if you were not afraid, and went on their way, if ever your dreams would come true... maybe.
Leave your comfort zone and start doing at least something very difficult in the right direction. Especially if you're scared, and work to be not the most pleasant. Many still remain in place. You should think very carefully about whether you are satisfied with the current situation and look ahead a bit. Because what good now, tomorrow may not be as convenient. If you realize that something goes wrong, it goes beyond the boundaries of comfort and begin to do what you think is right.
conclusion
Look at this video again - very motivating. It just contains all the items listed in the article! And if after that you do not go up from the chair and begin to act, then I do not know what the motivation may change you. Maybe you just do not dream?
This article got me a reason, but because I have 5 days from one of the small but pleasant dreams. I have a long list, so I work more and work. I hope that you do not sit idly by.
I was taught from childhood that no matter what happens, do not look for the guilty. Because it all depends on my actions and reactions. Yes, I can not control others, but I can control myself!
