Sunday Dreams and Fears
It is easy to be overwhelmed by fear. I've blogged a bit
about this before. Negative thoughts have a nasty way of bullying better
thoughts and pushing them aside. Be on guard for this. Give some thought to
your dreams and your wishes, because this
is where your motivation lies.
When I hear a student say “I just can’t get motivated”, I
know they are not following a dream. Or worse, they have no dreams at all. Dreams
produce (and sustain) motivation, not the other way around.
Motivation doesn't appear out of nowhere. It is given life by
those things you want to happen, the dreams you have that you barely want to
recognize for fear (there it is again) they won’t happen, can’t happen, or even
shouldn't happen.
Kick that fear aside. Be practical, but be a practical dreamer. Identify your dreams, secret
hopes and longings. If they are even
remotely realistic, there is no reason you can’t pursue them and achieve them.
The only thing standing in the way is the big bad fear bully.
