Most people harbour at least one significant dream. Unfortunately, a large number of them never attempt to realize these dreams, leaving them as mere fantasies. It’s common to question what’s preventing us from pursuing our aspirations. If you’re inclined to take the plunge but find yourself hesitating, don’t be too hard on yourself. Instead, recognize these four key reasons that many opt for safety over extraordinary pursuits. Understanding how these reasons impact you is the initial step towards overcoming them.
Before you can start to plan your success goals, there are many things that you need to understand before you can be sure that the goals you set are really the ones you want.
One of those things is to determine if there are any Limiting Beliefs that can stop you from actually achieving those goals.
I have a self-study Limiting Belief Program that you can go through to determine what your Limiting Beliefs are and how you can remove them.
You can read more and register for the program at Limiting Beliefs Program on my Confidence and Life Coaching website.
Start your journey on your path to success by identifying and removing your Limiting Beliefs so that you make the journey a lot easier.
We Don’t Define Our Dreams Clearly
Daydreaming is a frequent activity for many, yet translating these dreams into achievable goals is rare. A major reason for not dreaming big enough is that we allow our dreams to fade away. By not defining and prioritizing them, we reduce them to mere “would be nice” thoughts and move on.
Underestimating Our Abilities
Believing that certain achievements are beyond our reach is a common hurdle. If you think you can’t lose weight or run a company, you’re underestimating yourself. People just like you have achieved these goals, so why can’t you? The truth is, you can! Self-doubt is a major barrier that prevents people from pursuing their dreams.
Lacking Necessary Skills
Big dreams can seem daunting without the required skills, but this shouldn’t be a stopping point. Skills can be learned, and you can start today. Most significant dreams don’t necessitate formal education or years of study. Often, the belief that we lack the capability to acquire these skills holds us back.
Fear
Fear encompasses many aspects—fear of failure, fear of success, fear of others’ opinions. Everyone chasing a big dream experiences fear. Our brain’s instinct is to keep us safe, encouraging us to stay within our comfort zone to avoid harm. Recognizing that fear is a common experience and understanding our brain’s role in this can help muster the courage to pursue our goals despite the fear.
