Big dreams are the goals that make your heart jump with fear or excitement or both! Often, just saying these dreams out loud will make you scream with delight and expand your landscape of possibilities. At first blush, monumental dreams seem impossibly out of reach. Whatever sets your heart on fire and makes you come alive, that’s what you should focus on. Right now, your soul is aching to be heard. Its role is to guide the unfolding of your life. Listen to it. “If someone tells you your big dream is unrealistic, that’s a sure sign you should go for it.” If you like to dream big, it’s almost guaranteed that you’ll face criticism. That criticism usually comes from well-meaning family, friends, and colleagues who want to protect you from disappointment. But the most damaging criticism often comes from within.

You’re going to come across more than a few people who’ll tell you that your dreams are unrealistic and aiming too high will set you up for disappointment. But just because someone else says, “No, you can’t” or “No, that’s not possible,” doesn’t mean you have to agree with their version of reality. You won’t always be victorious, but you never know what’s truly possible unless you try. What seemingly “unrealistic” dream are you working to bring to life? What, if anything, has been stopping you until now? Dare to Dream Big All of life’s excitement and growth comes from knowing how to dream big — and making big dreams a reality. If you hold yourself back you will rob countless people of the goodness and joy and healing and growth that only your unique contributions can offer.
