Dream Interpretation Article

If you want to get started on fulfilling your dream, beware of the seven major dream stoppers!
1.Seeking approval and consent.

Having support from people whose opinion you value is a wonderful thing, but it should not be the criterion for whether you fulfill your dream or not.

If you really desire to fulfill your dream, constantly floating it around and seeking the approval of people will kill your dream. What will happen to your dream if you don’t get the approval of those whose permission you need? You don’t need anyone’s permission to fulfill your dream. Trust yourself and give yourself permission to succeed.

2.Perfection

Waiting for a time when everything will be perfect and in place will kill your dream. Things will never be as perfect as you may want. You may never have all the money, time, or knowledge you desire to begin working on your dream.

You must take the risk, learn and improve as you go along and then watch as everything begins to fall in place. If you have to wait for the perfect time to begin working on your dream…you will wait a long time! Don’t wait until you have lost your enthusiasm and moved on to other things.

3. No time for the dream.

Many dreams remain unfulfilled because people don’t have the time to work on them. If you have a dream, you have to be prepared to invest your time and resources to ensure it succeeds.

Claiming that you have no time to work on a dream that is important to you is a procrastination tactic, which will kill your dream before it has a chance to see the light of day. You have to create the time for your dream in your schedule of life. There is always time to work on what we love.

4. Indecision

Making up your mind about the importance of your dream and about all the important decisions around it, is a major step towards achieving your dream. Leaving things in limbo and being reluctant about making crucial decisions will choke your dream.

Make up your mind and stop second-guessing yourself. When your mind is made up…nothing can stop you from making progress with your dream.

5.Reluctance to take the initiative.

You are the one in charge of turning this dream to a reality. You have to be proactive and actively involved in the process of working on your dream to make it a success.

Just because you have shared your dream with others does not necessarily mean that you are no longer responsible for your dream. Do not sit around waiting for others to make suggestions and guide your dream to reality. Don’t leave your dream entirely in the hands of others. Nobody cares about your dream like you do.

6. Failure to invest in your dream.

No dream is self-funding. Don’t be deceived into thinking that people will invest or finance your dream or idea just because it is brilliant. If you are lucky, someone may invest in it, but if you are not, you will have to invest your time, energy and finances towards activities that will fortify and fulfill your dream.

You may have to invest in the acquisition of knowledge or expertise that will help you achieve your dream. Failure to invest in your dream will kill it.

7. Doing too many things at a time.

Committing yourself to numerous projects and activities which are not connected to your main dream will choke your dream. It will confuse, overwhelm, sidetrack, and drain your energy. If you have to get started on fulfilling your dream, you need to plan for it and make it a priority.

If you keep crowding and cluttering your life with what does not matter, you many never, ever begin to work on your main dream.

Remember that you can’t do all things, but you can do one thing!
