Inspiration, Mental Health, Mind, Personal Growth, Spirit

How to Achieve Your Dreams Even Though You’re Scared

Inspiration, Personal Growth, Spirit

Have you ever wondered what “living your dreams” meant? Just close your eyes for a minute. Take a long, deep breath. Think: what life you really wish for yourself? What goals do you want to achieve? That’s the dream to follow.

What prevents you from achieving that dream? Fear.

Fear is defined as “an emotional response induced by a perceived threat.” When you’re thinking about following your dreams, there are few threats along the way:

  • You might lose your current comfort
  • You could lose a lot of money
  • You might lose the affection of few people along the journey
  • You might fail

The fear of messing up paralyzes you. It makes you ignore the thought “Hey, maybe I can make it!” Fear is practically robbing you of opportunities, and it’s time to stop that pattern once and for all.
