There is no room for dreaming small in this world, and to dream big you must set big goals.
Your goals should scare you, and they should scare others around you, but they should also ignite a fire deep inside you that makes you so excited for the future, that you can’t wait to get started pursuing your goals.
And the sooner you get started, the closer you are to having your dreams come true.
1. Our dreams allow us to get really excited
Ever notice that your biggest dreams are the ones that fill you with so much hope, and so much excitement. Those dreams can very well keep you alive because the thought of fulfilling them means you’ve served your life’s purpose, and made an imprint on this Earth.
2. They encourage us to make long-term improvements
Big goals allow us to expand our mind and not think so small. For big dreams and big goals to come to fruition, your vision needs to grow tremendously to make it happen. And not only is this really exciting, but it is super healthy for us to have big goals.
3. We become much more resilient in the short-term
When we have big goals to accomplish, we know that every second counts, and we don’t have time to waste. Our best hours and days can no longer be spent on meaningless and time wasting activities. When we have such important goals, we start accounting for the present moment much more than we ever would, and we have drive, passion, and tremendous vision.
4. We ‘get real’ with ourselves
Big goals force us to confront reality. If we believe that our goal is actually attainable, then next we must ask ourselves how can we achieve it? We have to be honest with our strengths and weaknesses and address our poor habits and behaviors. A system needs to be in place that will allow us to work towards our goal. And therefore, there is no room for blaming others if something is not working, we need to take responsibility for ourselves.
5. We develop powerful habits
All in all, our big dreams will encourage us to change our behaviors, which is the biggest benefit of setting these goals. Going after our dreams with all of our heart and soul will force us to make changes in our lives that will allow us to be more productive and positive people. We will develop daily habits that will change our lives forever, and we will push ourselves to achieve what we once may never have thought possible.
