When You Follow Your Dreams, Your Nightmares Come Along

When you follow your dreams, your nightmares come along. You see, so many times, we don't take the steps towards becoming the person we want to be, because we fear the unknown. We are comfortable in our current situation and we prefer to stay there. But, we cannot change without stepping out of our comfort zone, without facing the unknown, without looking at our fears in the eyes.

So many people want to make their dreams come true.

And to be fair,

Why not?

But then I wonder why most of us stay behind?

Why most of us live inside a limited world?

Why so many of us feel unhappy and unfulfilled?

And I ask these questions because nowadays we live in a world of possibilities and of unlimited potential.

As I see it,

Everyone should be able to go out to the world,

Take the steps and grab their share.

But there's the catch.

We have to take the steps,

Which most of the times lead us to unknown territory.

And because our current situation will always be more comfortable and warmer than a new one,

Not everyone is willing to change.

Not everyone is willing to take the necessary risks or willing to go after their dreams.

Because when we follow our dreams,

Our nightmares come along.

And the nightmares have to come along.

We cannot bring change without facing the unknown,

Without looking at our fears in the eyes.

In order to seize the day,

We have to make the first move.

We have to show to the world,

But most importantly to ourselves,

That we are willing to change,

No matter what.

So today,

I will ask you to take some time to think about the fears that hold you back,

The things that you would prefer to avoid.

You don't have to overcome those fears right now.

Just take time to contemplate on them.

And soon you will notice that the more you think about them,

The less scary they seem.

I really enjoy your thought exercises. They are liberating! Thanks! 🙏

Ohhh my gosh! I really needed this today! Thank you!

Yes the more I feel fearful about possible thoughts/actions I try to think of the benefits, positives, what’s the worst that can happen if I don’t take action as opposed to taking a calculated risk.

The more you think about your fears/obstacles …the less scary they become . True! Thanks for reminder to leap into unknown!! It’s always my fear of people’s judgment or criticism or jealousy that holds me back from making my dreams of success in music 🎶 come true. I play at small venues ..I’ve beaten mt stage fright for 30+ years ..now I have to keep the self judging away .. I want to play Madison Square Garden someday!!! 🎸❤️🎶🎵
