If your huge dreams don't scare you, well, they are not yet sufficiently large enough.
It goes past just being scared. There are occasions when you are going to be immobilized in fear. You'll feel the immensity of the dream weighing down on your shoulders. Dreams are dense. They are extraordinarily heavy on occasion. They have substantial weight to them. But they have also got an fantastic lightness about them if you honestly give them the opportunity.
You see, most people attempt to go after their dreams a number of times, and when they fail, they give up fully. The significant amount of sacrifice, agony, and torment it takes to constantly go after something that you've imagined in your brain is big. Gigantic dreams will test your mettle . If you are not the individual you must be to see the dream through, dreams will effectively teach you those lessons through failure and ripping the rug out from beneath you. They have minds of their own and they can be your best teachers.
What are we able to possibly do when that fear comes?
Do we have to do anything? Rather than building walls, running from it, or trying to fix it...can we just sit with it and really feel that fear? When you stop running from your fears and you ask them into your life, a relationship develops. What if, when fear, doubt and worry show up in your life, rather than building walls to push them out you commence building friendships with these emotions. Start understanding them, listening to them, feeling into them - just as you do with people in your life. Over time , you might start developing deep relationships with these emotions and they can ultimately become just as deeply vulnerable with you as you are with them. Then, out of your worst nightmares, you might build the foundations of your life with rebar from the positive and the negative.
How potent would that be...to be well placed to create an unshakeable foundation built on your worst fears and your enormous dreams? You'd never run again. In reality you would stand powerful through any tempest because you are made from something that roots itself thousands of feet deep into the ground and extends miles into the sky above.
So if your enormous dreams frighten you...good. But when that fear arrives, don't run from it. No, use it. Melt it down and cast foundations with it. Court it. Create a relationship with it. There's significant power in fear, but you need to be ready to hook straight into it.
