Have you made choices that although made everyone else happy,



left you feeling empty and incomplete? Maybe you used your lack

of money as an excuse, so that you wouldn't feel bad about not

pursuing your dreams. But the truth is money is never a hindrance.

It is used as a crutch because it is much easier to say money is

the problem, than to admit that you are the only obstacle

standing in the way of your dreams.

The beauty of dreams is that they are free. When you hold off

on your dreams, it costs so much more. You live wondering what

if you had made those choices, how would your life be if you

had achieved those goals? Right now, think of the one dream

that you are holding on to for dear life; what is your #1

excuse for not doing it?

If you want to go back to school, you can look for scholarships

and financial aid. You can even take distant learning courses,

so you don't even have to leave home. If you want to start a

business, there are many free resources online that show you

how you can start with no money involved. If you want to pursue

a hobby full-time, you can research to find others that are

doing the same thing and ask them for help.

Money is not the real obstacle or the driving force to your dreams.

The excuses you make just covers up what lies deep within, which is

fear and doubt. You anticipate failure or challenges, so you don't

bother pursuing your dreams. You let go of your dreams and give up.

You can not feel fulfilled in life unless you are living a self-

actualized life. Living your dreams makes your life authentic.Stop

using money as a reason for you not to be where you were meant to

be in your life. Why settle for small accomplishments, when you

can live a life of greatness? You can do a lot of things with

money, but you can't buy your dreams. Take one step today towards

your dreams; don't worry it won't cost you a thing.
