If your huge dreams don't frighten you, well, they are not big enough.
It goes past just being shocked. There are instances when you are seriously going to be incapacitated in fear. You'll feel the immensity of the dream weighing down on your shoulders. Dreams are dense. They're significantly heavy on occasion. They have significant weight to them. But they have also got an incredible lightness about them if you really give them an opportunity.
You see, the majority try to go after their dreams a number of times, and when they fail, they give up fully. The quantity of sacrifice, pain, and torment it takes to continually go after something that you have imagined in your consciousness is enormous. Enormous dreams will test your character. 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 greatest teachers.
What are we able to possibly do when that fear comes?
Do we actually have to do anything? Instead of building walls, running from it, or attempting 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 lock them out you begin building relations 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 eventually become just as vulnerable with you as you are with them. Then, out of your worst fears, you might build the foundations of your life with rebar from the positive and the negative.
How strong would that be...to be in a position to create an unshakeable foundation built on your greatest fears and your massive dreams? You would truly never run again. Actually you would stand strong through any typhoon because now you are built from something that roots itself thousands of feet deep into the ground and extends miles into the sky too.
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 extreme power in fear, but you have got to be willing to hook into it.
