| Dream Killers |
I woke up today only to
realise it is the 1st of October, 2012- two more months to the end
of the year! Suddenly my countenance dropped, I failed to see the rising
morning sun that greets me when I open the
doors, nor did I even hear the birds sing, not to talk of singing along
with them in recognition of what lovely day my maker has bestowed on me. “What
happened to all those dreams, those beautiful plans I drew out during the start
of the year with so much excitement and hope?” I said. What about you, what happened
to your dreams? Or didn’t you have a dream? Everyone has a dream at one point
in their lives, days go by, but there is just this one thing that you want to
do before the end of the year, that thing that you want for yourself and believe
would make you happy. Do you remember it? Have you been able to accomplish it?
Today, I would like to help
you achieve those dreams even before the clock strikes 31st December,
2012.Join me, as we identify some of the major dream killers in our life and
kill those dream killers. Yes, we don’t just want to point out the dream
killers, but we want to know how to get rid of these dream killers. By sharing
with you, it would give me the impetus to achieve those dreams I set out for
myself before the beginning of the year, so let’s go along and kill those dream
killers
Below are some of the
most common dream killers I have found and how to get rid of them
- Fear
William Allen White
said,” I am not afraid of tomorrow, for I have seen yesterday and I love today”
Fear of the unknown, fear of failure is one of the major reason people do not
accomplish their dreams, they are afraid that when they step out and walk ,
they would fall on the first step. They are afraid of what people might say if
things don’t go right, hence they never try. Fear is only false evidence that
may become real if you permit it. So how do you kill fear? Rise up and do, the
only way to know if that dream is possible is not in contemplating on the dream
but by taking action, once you take the first step, all false evidence seizes
completely.
- Fire Extinguishers
Fire extinguishers are
group of people particularly friends and close relatives who specialise in
quenching every little spark of fire in our life. You have a dream, a desire
you want to see accomplished, immediately you talk to these people about your
plans, they talk you down. They would give you 101 reasons why that dream
cannot be achieved, and even cite examples of those who tried following that
same path you want to go and failed. How do you kill them? Avoid the fire
extinguishers, be careful the kind of people you share dreams with. Only share
dreams with people you trust would be of immense help.
- Low self –Esteem
People with low self
esteem don’t dream, even if they do they have a very low image of themselves
that, they do not see how “they” can accomplish those dreams. They come out with
great plans, ask them to implement it and they think they can. They would
normally say, “me, how can I do that, I am too…” and bring out a pile of
reasons why they can’t. Kill your low self esteem, no one is better than you,
smarter than you or more intelligent than you, change the picture you have of yourself
and achieving dreams would be second nature.
- Laziness
At last, the biggest
dream killer: laziness! Laziness comes in many forms –it may be losing your inspiration,
procrastination, tiredness, lost of motivation. You put things to be done now
away, hoping that there would be a more convenient time, and they never get done.
Success has no room for lazy people; you need to find ways of staying focused
and inspired. Whenever you feel lazy about doing something, just pick piece of paper and ask yourself, “Do it now?”, if you feel a strong urge to
procrastinate, it is an indication you
are becoming lazy get up and do that particular thing and you would realise you
would achieve your dreams much easier
