How to Dream Big?

“We all have dreams. But in order to make dreams come into reality, it takes an awful lot of determination, dedication, self-discipline, and effort.” - Jesse Owens

The starting point for success in life is dreaming big. Is it possible for everyone to dream big? Yes, it is possible. But only a few people dream big and achieve success. Fundamentally, it is the dreams that take all of us towards success. But, then, why do people fail to dream big? Let us look at the same.


Failures and Dreams:

“The successful man will profit from his mistakes and try again in a different way.” - Dale Carnegie

When people fail frequently they tend to develop mental barriers and limitations concluding that they cannot achieve anything in future. In fact, it is wrong. Every failure teaches some lessons. The positive people learn lessons from their failures and move forward. Further momentum is possible only when we restart our life with dreams. Everything is there only in our mind. We can create and conceive the mind the way we want. When our mind is fed with dreams, hopes arise resulting into putting in efforts and striving for success. Therefore, it is necessary to break those mental barriers that limit from dreaming big.



Age and Ability to Dream:

Children dream bigger than middle aged or old people. They live in dreams and fantasies. It is basically because they have not seen the world. They live in imaginary life. But the people in the middle and old age have seen the practical problems of life. If they happen to face frequent problems in life, their confidence level decreases. Besides, age does not support them to sustain their dreams. And in the case of old people the ability to dream decreases further with several challenges having faced and still facing in life. There is an element of insecurity as they think that they reached fag end of their life. That is why it is rightly said, child thinks of future, middle aged person thinks of present and old aged person thinks of past. Therefore, it can be easily concluded the ability to dream decreases with the increase in age. However, people can dream big irrespective of age if they develop a positive mindset and they can achieve success at any age. In a nutshell, age is not an excuse for dreaming big.


Develop A Positive Mindset:

When you are flooded with such information in your mind, you get inspired and excited continuously and constantly. It develops will power, perseverance and builds confidence. As a result, you put in efforts and energies regularly which ultimately takes you towards success.
