Quick Thought: DREAM

“Don’t be pushed around by the fears in your mind. Be led by the dreams in your heart.” – Roy T. Bennett

Today someone talked to me about choosing a word for your year. Basically it is a word which sums up your goals and what you wish for 2020. I have heard examples like, ‘create’, ‘survive’, ‘revival’ and more.

After hearing this concept being thoroughly discussed I felt that I should also try and choose a word. And almost immediately the word popped up in my head. Dream.

But what does this word entail? What does this word say about my future? What does it say about the year I wish for?

So that quote from Roy T. Bennett came to mind. Everyone dreams, but the thing that actually stops that dream from coming true is your fear. It may be about insecurities, feeling that you’re not good enough to actually reach your dream.

So this word isn’t just about dreaming, because everyone dreams. But it is taking action so you can actually reach your dreams. It is taking the risk that you have always been afraid of. It is letting that fear consume you, because you can still be afraid to do it. The important thing is to just do it.

Someone once said that only if you fear your dream or the thing you want to reach, only then is the dream worth it. Only then can you actually try to reach it. So this year I encourage everyone of you to dream and let your dreams lead you. Because who are you really without your dreams?
