If your dreams don't scare you a bit, they really aren't big enough.
But when it comes to dreams, there's a different type of fear that shows up. The fear that will arrive at your doorstep can often be a paralyzing type of fear that will put all of its weight down on your shoulders. Why? Because dreams are incredibly dense and the fear that comes along with chasing those dreams is very dense as well.
Most people will attempt taking the journey of their dreams once or twice and give up after they fail. But when you are deeply committed to your dreams, you have to try time and time again because you almost certainly will not nail it on the first time. Big dreams will test your personality, your resolve, and your willingness to see something through even if you cannot see it right now.
When that heavy fear comes in, what can we do?
Nothing.
Instead of trying to do something with it or push it away, manipulate it, or change it why can't you just sit with it and really feel what that fear is trying to tell you. Because when you stop running from things you end up finding the answers you need.
Start understanding your fears, listening to them, and feeling into them just as you would do with the people in your life. Over the course of time you might begin to develop deep relationships with these emotions and they can eventually become just as vulnerable with you as you are with them. Then, out of your greatest fears, you could build the foundations of your life with rebar from the positive and the negative.
Don't constantly avoid what you know you should be facing. Instead, dive deep into it. Dive so far into it you could find out everything you ever wanted to know about it. This builds strength in your character and a willingness to face your fears. That is absolutely invaluable.
Don't run from your fears. Run straight into them.
