Chasing Your Dreams: Why Excuses Don’t Hold Up
As a human, when you decide to focus on your goal, there is something that is known to have shifted in you, just like the fire that started burning. And suddenly, all those obstacles that have been in your way, you start to know how to manage it.
Those lack of money, those connections or talents, all those are just excuses. You can navigate all this if you're willing to put in the work. So let's see how you can turn your dream into reality.
First, let's talk about money. It is easy to say, the dream that I want to chase, I can't afford it. But if you're really serious, you can still find a way and maneuver. Maybe it means like taking a side hustle for a moment to get the money you want to chase your dream. Or just doing a freelance work. Although it does not fit your style or your level, but it's just to get the temporary support to chase the bigger purpose.
Where you keep any of those dollars? It's a step that you have to take. It gets you closer to your goal. So think of it like just an investment. You're making for your future self.
Then there is time that we all wish that we have more, more money. But if your goal matters, you know how to cover time. Even if it's sacrificing the social media phone or spending time with friends for the moment. All those late nights. All distractions you always do with your phone.
You just wake up an hour and cut back on those distractions. All those things must act like a hand up and create a huge amount of time that you can use to chase your dream. It's not about giving up on, but it's about prioritizing what really matters in the long run.
Sometimes phone connections also can feel like a very big burden to us. Like, I don't know. You might feel like you don't know the right people. But yeah, the thing is, you don't need to be around those very important people. Just move where the people you're looking for are taking action. Whether it's a new story or just a meet up. Or join an online community. And keep showing up at that place consistently and working on yourself. And with time you meet people that inspire you and challenge you. And you see how it begins to open doors for you. Sometimes the main way to make connections is by leaving your comfort zone. Maybe finding new places to make this happen.
And the last one is talent. So if you think you're not that good enough at the start, it's okay. But talent isn't just an important thing. So when you commit to grinding and working on these keys and seeking your feedback.
The early days might not be fun as usual. But as you begin to put in the work. Look at anything. Then you might see results. Look at people that are successful. Their talent came from years of working so hard on themselves. And they keep showing up even when it feels like nothing is happening.
The truth is, when you are so serious about these goals. There will be no excuse that can get hold of you. You don't have to wait for that perfect moment to feel alright. Before doing what they say. You keep chasing your goals. You hustle for the money. You make up time. You create connections. And continue to build your talent. It's not easy. But this is always worth it.
Stop waiting for permission or the perfect moment to act. Start by acting now. Even when you don't feel like it. The life you want is waiting for you on the other side of you making so much excuses. And getting and procrastinating.
