The Cost of Dreaming
Sometimes as outsiders we think, look how easy or fast they got there, but until you know the full story you will never really know the efforts of a dreamer. There are many battles hidden behind accomplishments but most times we only look at the reward. This is not wrong or bad; it is actually natural and takes some unlearning to not compare yourself to others. The next time you see someone living out their dream, I ask you to ask three questions.
1) How many people did they lose in the process?
2) How many pieces of themselves are they still carving, missing, and aligning?
3) What are the steps that got them to where they are at and what information is transferable to me?
In thinking these questions, imagine you did not know the answer. How would you go about it? Well, there is an answer and only one answer, embrace failure. Dreaming is not linear just like other feelings or emotions. What I suggest is that we lock in. That every day for the next few weeks we take one moment to work on our dream. This can be just adding something to our to do list or doing one thing on our to do list whether that is researching, contacting, saving, or planning. Be grateful for sleepless nights because there will come a day when your dream lives beyond you, your legacy lives beyond you, and your story lives beyond your people. So with that I leave you with my last question.
4) What are you willing to give up for your dreams?
