DON’T GIVE UP ON YOUR DREAMS

Posted by: Lori from Lifesuccessnz 

 Life is hard. The world is changing rapidly. And we went through pandemic of Covid. For many it feels like it’s spinning out of control. When events beyond your control seem to be shaping your destiny, giving up on your dreams is tempting. Yet now is the time when you need those dreams more than ever.

No one starts out in life depressed and defeated. Children are bursting with dreams and ambitions – but as we get older, life starts getting in the way. Normally musicians are chasing their dreams

. We develop beliefs that disempower us. We suffer failures and setbacks. But don’t give up on your dreams yet.

WHAT MAKES PEOPLE THINK ABOUT GIVING UP ON DREAMS?

Giving up on your dreams is common. Humans are imperfect beings, and we give up on our dreams for all kinds of reasons. Yet none of these reasons is a real excuse to stop being your best self. Here’s why some may fall to limiting beliefs and give up. 

  • They’re afraid of failure. Many people operate from a place of fear in life – and fear of failure is one of the most common. When these people fail once, it’s tempting to give up altogether. They say “I’m just not good at this” and take the easy way out: accepting failure.

  • Others don’t believe in them. We aren’t all fortunate enough to be surrounded by supportive friends and family. Don’t give up on your dreams just because other people think you can’t do it. Use it to fuel your hunger and work even harder.

  • They get bored. Working toward your dreams may be exhausting, but not boring. The truth is that if you’re bored, your dreams likely don’t inspire you. It’s time to examine your blueprintand ask yourself: Am I working toward goals that I want, or that others want?

  • They plateau. Athletes, entrepreneurs and  celebrities: Every successful person has hit a plateau at some point in their lives. When youfeel stuck in life, it’s essential to recognize that plateaus are a normal part of achieving your goals.

  • They crave certainty. Certainty – the need to avoid pain and experience pleasure – is one of the most powerful six  Human Needs. If you’re thinking about giving up on your dreams, ask yourself if you’re really just feeling a need to stay in your comfort zone.


TOP REASONS TO NEVER GIVE UP

Giving up on your dreams is the easy way out. It’s often more comfortable to let your circumstances or other people dictate your life – but you’ll never find fulfillment that way.

  • Growth is essential to the human experience. If you’re not growing, you’re dying. While success is the goal, the experiences you’ll have along the way are just as valuable because they fulfill our human need for growth. Life – and growth – are what happen when we’re chasing our dreams.

  • You never know how close you are to success. Tony teaches that the smallest changes can yield the biggest results. You are always justtwo millimeters away from your next success. Your breakthrough could be right around the corner. Don’t give upon your dreams when you’re so close.

  • You’ll always wonder what could have been. We all know people with regrets – and no one wants to end up like them. They’re the people who areliving in the past and always thinking about what might have been. That’s where you’ll end up if you give up on your dreams.

  • The reward is great. Nothing compares to the feeling you get when you finally create an extraordinary life. You’ll jump out of bed each morning with excitement. You’ll have financial freedom and passionate relationships. You’ll live in a state of constant joy and abundance.
