Your World is Only as Small as Your Dreams

Your World is only as small as your Dreams

Article by Cynthia Chirinda

Everyone can dream but not everyone can truly believe. It doesn’t matter how much you dream and how many dreams you have, if you don’t believe in them, if you don’t believe they are possible, they never will be. Believing makes everything possible, because it actually changes your mental programming which has been programmed with a very narrow perspective, and by changing your beliefs, you change your whole life. When you actually start believing in your dreams, you broaden your perspective and what was once impossible for you, becomes possible.

Your dreams are valid

No matter where you're from, your dreams are valid. There are some people who live in a dream world, and there are some who face reality; and then there are those who turn one into the other. Never limit yourself because of others' limited imagination; never limit others because of your own limited imagination. Don’t let small minds convince you that your dreams are too big.

People can tell you whatever they want, but the truth is, the one person, and the only person in charge of determining your destiny is YOU. What someone else says to you does not matter. If there are negative people in your life, leave them behind because they serve no purpose in contributing to your happiness and your dreams. I’ve found this to be so helpful in my own life. If I don’t like the way someone is treating me, I immediately take myself out of the situation. Surround yourself with people that inspire you to be a better you.

Self-belief is your best asset

A lot of people want to achieve their dreams and be “successful”. But you know what separates a successful individual from the everyday person? It’s saying you want to do something, and actually doing it. Sure it may be scary, but if you believe in yourself, there is actually very little risk. Why? Because your self-belief is your best asset. And if you’re not going to believe in yourself, who will? If you fail, you learn.

Believe in yourself, you can achieve anything that you set your mind to. There are no limits out here, the only limits are those that you impose upon yourself. Dream, believe and take action. Identify what you truly want and how you truly want to live your life, and take action. Start to create the life of your dreams. Start small, dream big and don’t ever give up. Believe in yourself. This is your life, so you have to do what is right for you. Nobody else is walking in your shoes. If you want to live life on a new level you have to set your goals, see the vision, make the plans, and take daily consistent action. Consistency is the key, so many people want the good life but just give up after a few days or they don’t even try. If you are truly serious about moving your life in a new direction you need to take action every single day.

You have to go after what you want or you will be confined to the life that you have stumbled into. The majority of people are confined to a life of mediocrity because they don’t bother making a determined effort in the pursuit of what their heart yearns for, and they just live their whole lives like cowards, afraid to move out of their comfort zone, but it isn’t really the comfort zone as people like to call it, it is the lazy zone, the just getting by zone, the cowardice zone, the conformist zone, the average zone, the mediocre zone, and the timid zone.

You have to know that you have something within you, and that is greatness. Within is where the true growth occurs that will enable you to live the life of your dreams. The mind is the key that will unlock the door to your potential, your fearlessness, your courage, your ambition, your drive, your determination, your hunger, your grit, your perseverance, and your greatness.

If you do not believe that you can achieve anything that you set your mind to it is because you have some false internal beliefs about yourself. Your beliefs are what dictate how you live your life. If you don’t believe that you can become successful then you will not take any action, and you will just continue doing the same mediocre things day after day, and you will never chase after your dreams.

Release the past

Forget the past, we all have had our fair share of disappointments in life, but don’t live in the past, it has gone. So right now, resolve to be a new you, an individual who is determined to succeed and live life on your terms. Make this day a new beginning of a new adventure of greatness. It’s time to get on your grind by focusing your mind on success. Turn the page and rewrite a new script, don’t let the first chapter of your life determine the rest of your life.

It is the mind that holds the majority of people back from going after what they truly want. The mind is what paralyzes people from taking action. Once you break down those mental barriers that have imprisoned you, you will live life differently, your perspective, your actions, your goals, your plans, your limits, and your fears will disappear.

The great tragedy is that the world is full of people who are trying to change the outside world without going to work on the one thing that they can control, their own thinking! Do you really believe in your dreams? Because dreaming is not enough, in order to make your dreams come true, you must believe in them with all your heart. Dig up the dreams you had buried. What had you given up on? Dig it back up with your positive confessions, faith and thanksgiving. If you truly believe in your dreams, there is nothing that can stop you from making them become a reality.
