If your dreams don't scare you, they aren't big enough.
But when it comes to dreams, there's a different type of fear that shows up. The fear that will arrive at your doorstep can often be a paralyzing type of fear that will put all of its weight down on your shoulders. Why? Because dreams are incredibly dense and the fear that comes along with chasing those dreams is very dense as well.
Most people will try and fail at their dream and never try again. But in order to see your dreams through, you have to go after them day after day and keep trying even if you fail. You have to be willing to give up your time, your comfort, and take the constant torment that failure will bring into your life. Dreams will test you in so many ways but they are also our greatest teachers.
When that heavy fear comes in, what can we do?
Do we actually have to do anything?
If you feel that fear and allow it some room to roam around inside your mind and your body for a while, you can actually work with the fear instead of constantly pushing it away. You can learn from it instead of running away from it.
When you begin to understand your fears and listen to what they are trying to tell you, you can learn day in and day out about where your weak spots are and where you need to do some work. More importantly however, you can start to develop a relationship with negative emotions instead of trying to avoid them at all costs.
Don't constantly avoid what you know you should be facing. Instead, dive deep into it. Dive so far into it you could find out everything you ever wanted to know about it. This builds strength in your character and a willingness to face your fears. That is absolutely invaluable.
Stop running and start facing what scares you. When you face what scares you, you end up realizing you have a whole lot more power than you ever would have thought.
