In dreaming the big dream, many of us struggle because our fear come creeping in. Instead we either make small goals or we fail to dream at all. I am going to dare to you claim what you want, despite the fear or as I like to call it… your monsters!

Now, when claiming the dream, 2 things to keep in mind:
1. if the dream doesn’t scare you it is not big enough.
2. You should not know the HOW of how it will manifest itself.

Here are the top 4 fears aka monsters that may appear:

1. “What happens if I fail it at?”

Dare to live the dream. Keep focused on the end result. Ask the universe/inner knowing for guidance and signs. Take action when you get it, even if it doesn’t make sense (and it probably will not). Reflect and learn the lessons as you go so you don’t keep repeating the same pattern. And if you don’t achieve it right away, at least you are much closer than you were a year ago. Keep going and it is just a matter of time.

2. “What happens if I tell people what I am going to do this year and it doesn’t manifest?”

I don’t want to be embarrassed or look stupid.What is more important? Conforming to limiting beliefs of others so you
can be accepted and still be miserable that you aren’t living your dreams? OR Daring to stand out from the crowd (in which case you will attract new friends who DO have more open beliefs) and having a shot at living your purpose and being happy?

3. “I am afraid to dream because I have been disappointed in the past.”

That is the past. You do not have to keep repeating it. Instead of seeing the disappointments, start to ask yourself these questions, “What did I learn from those experiences? How can I do things differently this time?”

4. “I think it is impossible.”

Every time you think this thought, ask yourself these questions, “Has anyone else is this world, achieved what I want?  Has anyone else had major obstacles to overcome, but still found a way and achieved success? Has there ever been a time in my life when I felt like I was trapped or something was impossible, but somehow in the end it all worked out?” Journal your responses and review them whenever you have doubt.

Okay now dare to claim the dream!
