WOL #34: Honest Convos: Are "Dreams" Getting In Your Way?
#034: Can "Good" hinder "Great"?
Oh boy! I feel like I've committed heresy just asking, "Are 'dreams' getting in your way?" To myself, my kids, friends and family I've promoted to NEVER give up on dreams. "DREAM" plaques hang on walls and goodness knows how many presentations have been centered on this foundation. But, I always want to podcast with honesty and be okay posing questions so ALL of us grow. Maybe you listen today and it doesn't resonate. But maybe, some day down the road, you'll need to properly place dreams that are weighing you down so you can live full and well.
I was at a low recently; I pondered things that hadn't happened, things that seemed impossible even after trying so hard. As I laid my head down one night I had all the "WHY, WHY, WHY?" questions going through my head. And in the next moment it came to me: "MAYBE dreaming has gotten in your way." WHAT?!!! It was like a slap of awakening. I had focused so hard on the "dream".... thinking that this month or year would be the magical one. What really happened was I ended up holding so tightly that I became STUCK. Super stuck. Unfulfilled dreams began to drag me down. When this happens our hands aren't open. Our hearts aren't open. Our minds aren't open. All we see is what ISN'T happening.... although it feels good, beautiful and right. But, has it become an idol that keeps us burdened instead of free?
Evaluate the place of "DREAMS" in your life and ask yourself the hard, hard question: "What if my dreams are getting in my way?" And how do I release GOOD in order to accept GREAT in its time?
