Would You Ever Tell A Baby To Stop Trying To Walk?

It’s An Absurd Thought

It’s crazy to tell a baby to stop trying to walk!

You would never tell a baby to stop trying to walk — especially if it was your baby. Naturally — you would keep encouraging your baby to walk.

If your baby happened to fall while trying to walk, you would — without thinking — encourage your baby to get back up and try again.

This process would happen until the baby successfully walks with ease and has mastered walking.

What About Us?

  1. Why aren’t we as motivated and encouraged about our dreams and goals as if our goals were our babies trying to walk?
  2. Why do many of us choose not to keep going until we reach our goals?

Dreams = Babies

A baby must be fed, nourished, supported, loved, and encouraged.

You can’t take a break from watching a baby. A baby must be supervised at all times — whether by a human, a baby monitor, or a camera. It’s a 24/7 type of gig.

Dreams are also like babies. Dreams must be fed with energy, nurtured with continued efforts, cared for with quality, and given consistent time and attention.
