8 Cures For Overwhelming Dreams

from Just Keep Learning Hosted by Justin Nolan, JustTries, ed sheeran

What is a big dream? I love this definition from Sharon Hull “it is the seed of possibility planted in the soul of a person, which calls them to pursue a unique path to realize their purpose.” Now as amazing as that is, it does sound heavy. And this is why dreaming big can be overwhelming. It is abstract. We daydream, we dream at night, and we dream when we envision goals. In this instance, when we say “dream big” we are referring to your ambitions. Even though our ambitions should excite us, they so often lead to more confusion and overwhelm. That is because in order to get there you have to go towards scary experiences. When we move toward scary experiences, dream blockers can enter. Things such as fear, doubt, perfectionism, regret, stress, and peer influence. In later episodes, we can go more in detail on the dream blockers, and defining our dreams, but for today, let’s lay the foundation for being less overwhelmed by dreaming big in the first place. In order to dream big, pursue your ambitions, and not be overwhelmed, it helps to keep eight things in mind.
