Has it ever happened to you that you are immersed in a project that you are passionate about and someone comes and tells you that you are losing your time? According to their point of view, what you do has no value.
I leave you 8 lies that you can hear when you fight for your dreams:
1) You can pursue your dream at another time. Now you have to focus on more important things.
At another time? When will that other moment be? I don't like that lack of definition. Saying that is like saying, "In time you will forget." Today you are alive, tomorrow, who knows? Chasing dreams is what life is all about. Therefore, it is not irresponsible.
2) You will feel bad if it doesn't work.
Wrong! In the worst case, if it doesn't work you will do the same as you are doing now.
3) It is safer that you do not leave your job.
Sure I guess. But do you know what is even safer than that? Go back home, flush your dreams down the toilet and lock yourself in your bedroom to never go out. Remember, safer does not always mean better.
4) You are not realistic with your current situation.
The conditions or circumstances that surround you may not be the best but that does not mean that you cannot fulfill your dream.
Look, the protagonist of this video had been in a wheelchair for 20 years until technology knocked on his door. Thanks to a robotic exoskeleton, he has been able to walk again.
5) You don't have access to the right resources.
It's not about having the right resources, it's about exploiting the resources you have access to. Stevie Wonder couldn't see, so he exploited his sense of hearing in a passion for music, and now has 25 Grammys. Do you get it? 😉
6) That is reserved only for the lucky few.
That's because the lucky few had the guts to do something about it. Something about it. They had the determination and willpower that you have now. You can be one of them. It depends on you and only on you.
Could this kid become the greatest basketball player of all time? Why not?
7) You need to save more money to be able to take the first step.
You don't need any more money. You need a plan. A budget is needed. Eliminate all non-essential expenses in your life. Ask yourself, "What steps can I take right now with the money and resources I have now to bring me closer to my desired goal?"
8) It takes a lot of work.
But this does not mean that it is not worth it. I believe that success in life depends on one key point: finding hard work that you do with passion. Hard work is not difficult when you focus on your passions and dreams.
Remember: fight for your dreams (watch video)
Only when your feet have stepped on the mud do you realize how much your life is worth.
