Your life could be absolutely amazing. If only you would learn to aspire higher, think bigger, dream to the stars. The biggest thing holding most people back from their dreams is the word impossible. So many people get hung up thinking I can't do this. It is too hard. It is unattainable. No one can do this. If everyone thought that, there would be no inventions, no innovations, and no break-throughs in human achievement.
Keep in mind that scientists were puzzled when they took a look at the unassuming bumblebee. Theoretically, from a physics standpoint it should not be able to fly. Luckily, no one has told this to the bumble bee. Since it does not understand "you can't fly" it flies. Each time you see a bumblebee take it as a sign from the Universe that anything is possible.
If you limit yourself with self-doubt, and limiting assumptions, you will in no way be able to break past what you consider not possible. If you don't know how to let go of limiting beliefs find someone, a coach or anyone you can talk to. You can also use techniques like the Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT) to break through some of your perceived limitations. If you reach excessively far out into the sky without working towards your goal, you will find yourself clinging to the impossible dream.
Having big dreams is crucial. How you make them become reality is just as important. You can break your dreams down into manageable chunks. Begin to tackle each task one by one. Working on small goals not only gets you started but it makes things seem easier, doing one small thing is not anywhere near as intimidating as accomplishing a whole dream. Forward movement counts. As long as you can begin to move forward, do something (which is always better than nothing) you will find your dreams begin to manifest in your reality.
Thomas Edison once said that genius is 1% inspiration and 99% perspiration. Nothing could be truer. For one to achieve his or her dreams, there has to have been hard effort and discipline. But take note that that one percent has to be a think-big dream, and not some easily accomplished one.
Think big and work hard to accomplish those dreams. As you step up the ladder of progress, you will see the things you originally thought were impossible are now your reality.
How do you seize courage when your whole world is collapsing around you?
You do it by picturing the opposite.
You ignore what is before you and you focus on what is within you.
When you create a dream, you must nourish it. This nourishing has to happen in good times and in bad times.
Rather than suspend your belief, suspend the value you place on what you see before you. If for example, you dream of making money in your own business but all you see around you is the harassment and poverty of your circumstances, choose to nourish the inner and take no value from the outer.
What appears around you as lack is but the outcome of your past thoughts. Your current thoughts of belief in plenty are the ground on which you will form the architecture of your abundance. The emotions that you invest in your dreams are the rain that nourishes the seeds of your desires.
It takes a strong will to think in a way that is contrary to sensible thought. Yet the reasonable person makes no progress, settling always for the obvious. Progress and the future of the world depend on the unreasonable one, who believes visions over actuality.
The dreamers of the day are dangerous, for they bring their vision into creation.
How often we rob ourselves of our dreams, ransacking them like bandits, savagely denuding ourselves of our own power.
When Martin Luther King raised his voice against the oppression of his race, he did not see what was before him but what was within him. His dream was so vivid, so powerful, so convincing that others shared it with him. It became such a force in the world that even his death could not stop that dream of equality from taking shape.
Similarly, when Nelson Mandela dreamed of a better world for his race and for his country, neither imprisonment, humiliation, and prolonged exile could staunch the flow of his vision. Today because he held the dream, sharing it with other freedom fighters, the impossible happened and apartheid collapsed in South Africa.
When the British Empire seemed the only great power in the world, a puny, skinny Indian man dared to dream a different dream. While his eyes saw the stranglehold of his native land by a power that embraced the world, Mahatma Ghandi dared dream
