A lot of people never truly try to make their dreams happen. The most common reasons for that are the perceived lack of (a) time and/or (b) money. Or they think that it is not going to work anyway and hence don't even bother trying.
One personal example includes the situation at the end of my studies. I was confronted with the possibility to submit my thesis to a competition with the prospect of winning a lucrative price. As I had tried similar things in the past which didn't work out, I initially wasn't very motivated to apply and felt that I didn't have enough time and capacity to really have a chance of winning. Fortunately I thought about how amazing it would be to win and created a picture in my mind. This thought motivated me in a way that I applied despite all limiting beliefs and eventually won the competition. The crucial thing is that only one incidence of winning/of creating something truly extraordinary in this life makes all efforts worthwhile (including all past failures). Let no limiting belief or negative comment of other people destroy your desire to create something truly meaningful with your life.
Here are some additional useful thoughts that have helped me to cut through limiting excuses:
- Once you make a true commitment to do whatever it takes your mind suddenly gets a lot more creative at finding ways to make your dreams reality. You'll be amazed by how many more resources you can mobilize only by truly putting your heart into something.
- Who really cares what was necessary to make your dreams reality once you arrived there?
- Nothing in life is more satisfying than to fulfill the purpose for which your creator has made you. You get so much passion, joy and energy out of it. It's so worth it.
- NOT going after what you truly desire is the greatest risk you can take in life.
- Even if it doesn't work out 100% the way we think there might be another great opportunity revealing itself.
