Recognize and avoid dream killers

We are now squarely in the first days of 2024. This is typically when we go to the gym and start eating better and do whatever our resolutions are…well at least we start. The trouble is, most of us don’t continue. If we reach February 1st this is a big accomplishment since we normally stop a week or two before that from history. But if you don’t go after and obtain your dreams in 2024, then when? Ok, they may take longer than 2024 for the dreams to be a reality, but if we stop going after them then we won't ever get there. So really, we need this train to keep moving until it reaches the destination, not a block or two down the road. But what stops our dreams, or what kills them to be very dramatic? There is an article called - "'Dream killers – how to recognize and avoid them'" written by James Norwick. He outlines 6 dream killers: -Family -Friends -Superiors (bosses) -Past failures -Your exhaustion -Your fear Interestingly enough, I wouldn’t attribute my dream killing to any of these. I would say that I have killed my own dreams in the past. There was an Instagram post I commented on a few weeks back. The graphic read 'never let small minds convince you that your dreams are too big'. My comment was as follows: 'It is my small mind that I am worried about'. I believe that for me and countless others, it is the guy in the mirror that kills the dream not the family and friends and bosses. So what will change in 2024? Norwick suggest that we learn how to spot the killers early then we stand a better chance of taking control of them and removing them from our lives. So yes, remove the negative influences from your life…It may come back that you still have to deal with you.
