One Reason Why Most Of Your Dreams Won’t Come True
Sorry, I just don’t think you want it bad enough.
First of all, this is a reminder for myself. If you feel like you need a bit of bitter honest motivation, this is for you too.
What is the one thing that is stopping you from going after your dreams? You can probably name at least 10 legit reasons why you stick to the safety of your comfort zone instead.
The sad part is that you can achieve almost anything… but you choose not to.
Human potential is astonishing. We are creative and resourceful. We have energy, ideas, focus and desire to create and achieve. We are able to pull ourselves together and do incredible things. Except we don’t.
We chose to find excuses and explain why we can’t do it. We can name 10 ways our ideas won’t work and 10 more reasons why everything is against us. Except it isn’t.
It’s no secret— life is hard. And we only tend to make it harder on ourselves. We are soft emotional creatures that want security, care, and validation. And not all the hustle, effort, and uncertainty.
Every day you have to choose: do you take an easy path of least resistance or do you make an effort to go after something you want.
Your dreams lie outside of your comfort zone. But you settle because it’s not all that bad at the moment, right? Because if it was bad you wouldn’t be reading these words now — you’d be working hard on your next project and building the life you deserve.
When you want it badly you don’t see obstacles. You focus on finding the ways you can do it and tune into searching for opportunities. You no longer take no for an answer or settle for less.
You are lazy, scared, unmotivated, and yet very capable. Of course, excuses are easy. Excuses are quick. Change, on the other hand, requires time and effort, whether you are building a habit or a business or anything else.
I admire people who push through the resistance. They also have an option every day to relax, procrastinate, shy away from opportunities. The difference is that they choose not to.
Making a choice may sound easy; sticking to that decision and acting on it is much more difficult. I’m not saying that you should give all downtime, personal life, and simple life pleasure in order to achieve your goals. I’m saying they should not substitute those goals.
I’m sure if you want it bad enough you can get it. Maybe not today or tomorrow, but small improvements can go a long way if you are consistent and decisive with them.
The next time you choose between your dreams and short-term substitute, think twice.
