Get Rid of Your Dreamkillers

Do you know what the biggest killer of dreams is?  It is not outside circumstances or lack of talent or lack of knowledge.  The biggest killer of dreams is worry and fear.  

What do you worry about?  What is constantly on your mind?  What eats at you day and night?  How is it impacting you?   

Whatever you are worried about or fearful of, chances are it will never come to fruition - but it can be a great excuse not to move forward or step out of your comfort zone.  The worry and fear will keep you in the same place if you let them.  That is why they are the killers of dreams.  Because in order to reach your dreams and reach new heights - you will have to push beyond your worries and fear.  And to many, that is very scary. 

What if?  What if? What if?  When you even attempt to push through these things, you will find yourself in the "What if?" stage where you come up with every possible scenario that can go wrong if you push through the worry and fear.  But, what if you did and things went right?  Where would you be?  What could you accomplish if you did not have the worry and fear?

We are pre-wired to focus on the negative and make that the more possible outcome in our lives which is just plain wrong.  We must focus on the positive outcome as that is just as possible or many times, even more possible than the negative outcome.  

For just once, focus on the positive outcome of going for your dreams.  List out all the wonderful things that would happen if you reached them.  Then pick one action you can take toward them.  Set aside the worry and the fear.  They will be there, but take one action toward your dream.  Then once you've done that, take one more action.  Each time, you accomplish one action, pick a new one and keep going.  You'll be amazed at what happens when you focus on reaching your goal one action at a time and how it can eliminate the worry and fear that stands in your way.
