For children dreaming is natural. They dream and truly believe that they can do anything. And this happens up to the moment when they start to listen to adults. Willing to defend their children from a possible future disappointment, the parents are the first to bring them with ‘the feet on the ground’. On one side, parents encourage children to have dreams about their future, but on the other side, they tell them to keep in mind that there is also the possibility for their dreams to not happen and advise them to have more ‘realistic’ dreams. During the school years, one of the teachers’ favorite pieces of advice is to stop dreaming and wake up to reality.
When you’re told all the time by the closest people in your life that life’s difficult and complicated and that you should be careful about what you’re dreaming, you finished by buying into these ideas! In this way, we begin to put limits on our dreams. Knowing that life should be tough and that dreams rarely come true we become careful with how big our dreams are. Anytime we have a desire we start to analyze if this is possible for us or not. We also begin to be afraid to dream too big and start to set average goals and expect less from life to not end by being disappointed. By putting limits on our dreams, we put limits on our success in life. We indulge in mediocrity and perceive compromise as normality. And we look to other people achieving a lot of things in their lives and think they are lucky. But never wonder where their luck comes from? If we look closer at what these people think and do in their lives, we’ll find out that the first thing they do is to not have afraid of dreaming. They know that their vision of success is the first step in accomplishing it. How could someone achieve something in life if she isn’t thinking and expecting to get it? For every effect in our lives, there’s a cause. The law of cause and effect acts either we’re aware of it or not. If the hazard makes some unexpected things to occur in our lives, it doesn’t lead to lasting effects. Let’s take an example, a very common one: winning the big lottery. As you probably know, statistics say that a very big percentage of the winners lose their fortunes in the first two-three years and they return to their previous financial state or maybe worse. What’s happening? Before winning the lottery, in their minds, they used to see themselves struggling with money. They have never dared to see themselves rich just because they were told and bought into the idea they cannot ever become rich. They saw wealth as impossible for them. And, when hazard makes them a surprise, the cause is still producing its effect: they return to the state they see themselves in! The same thing happens for people being in the opposite situation. When someone dreams big and hazard brings unpleasant surprises, all the effects produced by hazard don’t last long. All the roadblocks coming in their ways are eliminated one by one and each time these people return towards their direction. So, the problem with achieving success in life is not if we are fortunate or not. To can ever become successful, our challenge is to dream big and set daring targets. We have to be aware that we’ll never reach a destination where we don’t intend to go.
