If your dreams don't scare you, they aren't big enough.
But when it comes to dreams, there's a different type of fear that shows up. The fear that will arrive at your doorstep can often be a paralyzing type of fear that will put all of its weight down on your shoulders. Why? Because dreams are incredibly dense and the fear that comes along with chasing those dreams is very dense as well.
You see, most people try to go after their dreams a few times, and when they fail, they give up fully. The amount of sacrifice, discomfort, and torment it takes to continually go after something that you have imagined in your mind is enormous. Gigantic dreams will test your personality. If you are not the individual you need to be to see the dream through, dreams will effectively teach you those lessons through failure and ripping the rug out from beneath you. They have minds of their own and they can be your greatest teachers.
What can we do when that paralyzing fear comes in trying to stop us?
Nothing really.
If you feel that fear and allow it some room to roam around inside your mind and your body for a while, you can actually work with the fear instead of constantly pushing it away. You can learn from it instead of running away from it.
When you begin to understand your fears and listen to what they are trying to tell you, you can learn day in and day out about where your weak spots are and where you need to do some work. More importantly however, you can start to develop a relationship with negative emotions instead of trying to avoid them at all costs.
Don't constantly avoid what you know you should be facing. Instead, dive deep into it. Dive so far into it you could find out everything you ever wanted to know about it. This builds strength in your character and a willingness to face your fears. That is absolutely invaluable.
So if your big dreams scare you, good. But when that fear arrives, don't run from it. Instead, use it. Melt it down and cast foundations with it. Court it. Create a relationship with it. There's great power in fear, but you need to be willing to hook straight into it.
