Own your dream

When you find yourself putting your dreams on hold because you’re waiting for others to confirm that it’s a feasible project, or that you’re capable of achieving it, know that it’s not a dream. It’s simply a wish.

Dreams can either be an indulgence of escapism, or it can be a seed of passion.

Most use it as escapism to wish away the state of their lives, while believing that they’re oppressed by not having the opportunity to pursue their dreams.

Unless you are being physically restrained from making that big change, or taking that next step, your dream is yours to claim, or yours to abandon.

By the way, there’s nothing wrong with escapism, or daydreaming.

As long as you accept the purpose behind such moments and you don’t use it as reason to blame others for the lack of passion or progress in your life.

Caution: If you chase your dreams at the expense of important relationships, no matter how much your success will be celebrated by strangers, success will feel hollow.

So strike a balance between pursuing your dreams while being sure not to shut significant others out of your journey towards achieving it.

Moderation in everything.

Remember, once you’re successful, it’s a lot more difficult to determine who is sincere towards you, versus who is using you for your wealth or status.

So leave the door open for those around you to join you on your journey when they’re ready, but don’t stand at the doorway waiting for them before you pass through it.

Success is most enjoyed when we can share it with those we love. Otherwise, we’ll find it at our is never enough as we continue to seek fulfilment in achieving more, because we have no joy in what has already been achieved.
