2. What do you REALLY want from life? Are you taking steps toward it? If not, why not?
Perhaps you’re scared, or maybe you've built a huge wall of procrastination that
you'll never scale. Whatever it is, you probably think it has merit. In fact, you may
have simply stopped thinking about your dreams because you've given up.
3. It's too bad. People in much worse situations than you have created the life
of their dreams. You may have excuses and obstacles standing in your way,
but you can transcend them. However, it only happens when you’re ready.
Here are seven warning signs that you’ve given up on your dreams:
4. Sign # 1 : Excuses
Your excuses may seem real, but the one creating them is you. I had a lot of excuses when
I started. I could’ve given up, but I kept going, because I knew that that was the path to
realizing my dreams. Lose the excuses and focus the effort on progress.
5. Everyone makes excuses. Fleeting
excuses are fine but problems begin
when you stick to the same excuse
over and over again. That’s when
you start believing that it’s real
and insurmountable.
6. Sign # 2 : Fear
If you're letting fear stop you from going after your dreams, you're surrendering to a life that
you ultimately don't want to live. Sure it may seem comfortable right now, but a few years
down the road, you'll regret not having taken action. Is that what you want?
7. Not only did I have a lot of excuses before I
started building my business and following
my passion, I also had a lot of fear and still
do. I'm afraid of failure, not being good
enough, and all those fears that we all
share. But I kept moving forward.
8. Sign # 3 : Analyzing
Some planning is certainly helpful, but ultimately you have to take action in order to learn
what works and what doesn't. Look at that thing you've been putting off, and do something
today to take action toward it.
9. Are you trying to
analyze how you're
going to go after your dreams?
Trust me, it doesn't work.
10. Sign # 4 : Some Day
Some day is not on the calendar, and the longer you wait, the longer you wait. It
doesn't get any simpler than that. Instead of waiting, start now, start anywhere, and
start with anything, because it's better than sitting around waiting for some day.
11. How many people have told you that some day
they will go after their dreams, follow their
passion, and be happy? A whole bucket load
I’d bet - and one of those people may be you.
12. Sign # 5 : If Only
Many of the most successful entrepreneurs and people that are living the life that they
want to live did not have their dreams served to them on a silver platter. The bottom line?
You're not missing anything except the proper attitude and willingness to take action.
13. If only you had more money, connections, or
talents, you'd easily go after your dreams
and enjoy life, right? I don’t think so.
14. Sign # 6 : I’m Not
We all have something to contribute to the world (yes, that includes you), and that something is
the exact thing that makes you come alive. For me one of those things is making inspirational
presentations, and another thing is helping people live the life of their dreams and follow their
passion. What's yours?
15. Are you afraid that you don't have anything
unique to give to people? This is something
I deal with a lot with my clients, especially
when it comes to creating a business and
putting yourself out there.
16. Sign # 7 : Comfort Zone
You have to decide whether you are happy with where you are now, or whether
you want to take action and work towards something that truly fulfills you.
17. Fear of failure is a big obstacle for
many when thinking about going
after their dreams. You’ve probably
heard that it’s hard to go after your
dreams and follow your passion,
and it is, but anyone can do it, if
they are willing to suspend their
disbelief and take action.
18. Discover your passion,
follow it, and create the
life you want. There’s
no better time to start
than now!!!
Thank You Very Much
