Stop Killing Your Dreams

The whole world makes you do what you have to do, but what if you did what you want to do for a change.

We are our own road blocks. Many of us have amazing ideas and dreams we want to accomplish, but the actual work you have to put in often holds you back. You can achieve your dreams by surrounding yourself with community.

When you have multiple people working towards a common goal, the journey there is a lot easier.

Barbara Sher talks about this idea of using a community with people you don’t know, to achieve your dreams. In this group, you state your dream, no matter how bizarre it may be, along your obstacle. The last part is important because we are wired to solve problems.

If you say, “I’d love to quit my job and go live by the beach.” Everybody goes, “Mmm, yea me too.”

If you say, “ I’d love to quit my job and go live by the beach, but I’m 25 years old, I have student loan debt, and I don’t know how I’ll survive.”

Then, every mind starts working. Even if people don’t like you, they’ll solve your problem…

I heard about, this group called F.I.R.E, they strive for financial independence and early retirement. There’s a group of travel bloggers, who earn money by blogging….”

… the solutions will go on and on

People want to help. Amazing things will happen to you. Don’t quit on your dreams because you don’t think options are available.
