If you can dream it, you can do it

Our dreams are just ideas unless we dream with our eyes open. We are all the most amazing adventurers, the wisest thinkers, and the kindest souls…In our minds, at least. But far too often this version of us stays there, reserving ourselves to living the most amazing lives possible only when our eyes get heavy, and sleep takes us over. If you can dream it, you can do it. But not if you only dream it. It all starts with an idea, but it doesn’t truly begin until you go out and do it. That’s the difference between who you are and who you COULD BE. Just doing.

We all know this. And we tell ourselves it often. Some of the greatest advice we will ever hear will come from ourselves, but no matter how many times we think it, no matter the amount of people we tell it to, and no matter the times we hear it from others, there is a large difference between knowing the advice and truly believing it. At least about ourselves. We get frustrated when others don’t listen to us, but we have the hardest time listening to our own thoughts and ideas. We don’t give ourselves a chance, sharing our life changing advice with others but not truly acting on it in our own lives. We tell others to dream big and take risks, yet we doubt ourselves into submission. We don’t trust ourselves enough to take a chance on our own words. Unless they beat us down; we don’t have much of a hard time believing the terrible things we think about ourselves. But the potential? The idea that we could be great? We struggle with it, every day. How could we be worth much of anything, let alone MORE than what we are now?

How could you NOT be worth more? How could you have these ideas, these words of wisdom, this potential, and not think it is not only possible, but NECESSARY that you are destined for something really great here? The problem is not what you are worth; you are worth much more than you can imagine. The problem is that it is safe in your mind, but scary when it comes to doing. And it’s supposed to be; you can control your mind, you have control in your comfort zone for the most part, but when it comes to making changes and living your dreams? That’s scary. And it’s supposed to be. But while the fight against fear starts in your mind, it is fought with each step you take. You can’t just out think fear and doubt, you have to prove it wrong, each day, by taking steps. You will never be ready, my friends. You are made ready on the way. You will never have it all thought out and each step will never be completely safe. But it is worth the risk. YOU are worth the risk.

Don’t fight fear in your minds; it will win there. Either by beating you into submission by telling you you can’t, or by making you think you won by leaving you stuck in thought about what is possible, forever living in what you COULD be instead of making it happen and seeing for yourself. Take your own advice; take some risks, believe in your dreams, and go out there and try something new. Don’t be afraid to fail; it’s how you learn. Don’t be afraid to forgive, to love, to change. Nothing in life that is worth it is easy. But it is ALWAYS worth the fight. What do you fear? You should probably go do it. If it doesn’t feel wrong in your gut, maybe fear is just your last test to see if you are ready for what you truly want. And trust me. You are as ready as you will ever be. Don’t wait for the perfect moment. You are perfect just the way you are, and this is your moment. And I can’t wait to see what you do with it.
