5 COMMON REASONS THAT PEOPLE HAVE TROUBLE IDENTIFYING THEIR DREAM
1. Discouragement from other people: Many people have had their dreams knocked out of them. the world is filled with dreams crushers and idea killers. Some people who aren't pursuing any dream of their own don't like to see others pursuing theirs. other people's success makes them feel inadequate or insecure.
2. Some people are hindered by past disappointments and hurts: Disappointment is the gap that exists between expectation and reality. all of us have encountered that gap. we've had an unexpectedly bad experience. we've had to live with our unfulfilled desires and we've had our hope dashed. Disappointment can be highly damaging to us.
3. Some people get in the habit of setting for the habit of average: Columnist Maureen Dowd says, "The minutes you settle for less than you deserve, you get even less than you settled for". Dreams require a person to stretch, to go beyond average. You can't reach for a dream and remain safety mediocre at the same time. The two are incompatible.
4. Some people lack the confidence needed to pursue their dreams: It takes confidence to talk about your dream and more to pursue it. and sometimes confidence separates the people who dream and pursue those dreams from those who don't.
5. Some people lack the imagination to dream: How do people discover their dream? by dreaming! That may sound overly simplistic, but that's where it starts. Imagination is the soil that brings a dream to life. Nobel prize-winning physicist Albert Einstein, a dreamer, and thinker understands the value of the imagination. He said, "When I examine myself and my method of thought, I come to the conclusion that the gift of fantasy has meant more to me than my talent for absorbing positive knowledge". Einstein called his imagination a "holy curiosity"
