The Real Reasons You Should Go After Your Dreams
Dreams, hopes and wishes can fill our imagination but how often do we act upon them? More often than not, many of us find ourselves trapped by our fears and lack of motivation to do anything about them. This is despite the fact that you might be unhappy with your lot in life.
Why should you go after your dreams?
Here are some reasons why you should go after your dreams.
Regret
If you don’t act on what you really want, you could find yourself regretting it all your life. Terms like “what if?” will enter your head. Or “If only?”
Do you really want to be sitting in a rocking chair when you’re in your old age looking back with a ton of regrets?

You think you haven’t the time. Its too late to start now.
Do you recognise those statements?
I am here to tell you its NEVER too late. One thing I do know is that time passes very quickly and before you know it, you can run out of time.
Time or my age has not stopped me doing a thing. Here I am, a grandmother, working the internet in a coaching business. I could be sitting round my pool with my feet up, drinking a gin and tonic. Life is too short.
Act now before you run out of time.
Your time is limited, so don't waste it living someone else's life. - Steve Jobs Click To TweetChange
Many of us fear change so we stay in our little comfort zones afraid to move out of them. We recognise that some changes are good for us, like losing weight or quitting smoking. Yet we often fail at making those changes.
The reason we are afraid of change is fear of failure, of effort and discomfort, criticism, fear of the new. Some of us are even afraid of success believe it or not.
All of our fears of change are inside our head and they can be overcome. Acknowledge them, work on them, tackling them one by one.
Start slowly, celebrate every victory, stand above your fears, and start living a better life.
Don’t let fear of change stop you going after your dreams.
You Will Become a Better and Happier Person Inside
On the journey to your dreams you will learn so much about yourself in the process, and that alone will be worth it.
Every Day Will Be Filled With Hope And Possibility
Dont underestimate the power of a single day in your life. You could find the perfect opportunity, meet the right person, move house, find your dream job. The possibilities of little wins and successes are endless.
You Have Something To Give To The World.
There will never be anyone like you. You have something to offer that no one else has. If you live with an alignment with your soul you will come alive to share that with others. Being your true and authentic self and accepting how gifted you truly are is a fabulous feeling you wont want to lose.
Have Meaning and Purpose In Your Life
If you go after your dreams your life will be filled with a meaning and a purpose. Its a wonderful feeling when you find that, especially when you do something to feel fulfilled. Its a better feeling that being dissatisfied and unhappy with your lot right now.
