If your dreams don't scare you a bit, they really aren't big enough.
Dreams challenge you in ways that you would never ever think you would be challenged. But most of all, they bring a type of fear to the table that could paralyze you if you let it. The immense pressure that comes along with chasing dreams is astronomical and has to be handled with care.
Most people will try and fail at their dream and never try again. But in order to see your dreams through, you have to go after them day after day and keep trying even if you fail. You have to be willing to give up your time, your comfort, and take the constant torment that failure will bring into your life. Dreams will test you in so many ways but they are also our greatest teachers.
When that heavy fear comes in, what can we do?
Nothing.
Instead of trying to do something with it or push it away, manipulate it, or change it why can't you just sit with it and really feel what that fear is trying to tell you. Because when you stop running from things you end up finding the answers you need.
Start understanding your fears, listening to them, and feeling into them just as you would do with the people in your life. Over the course of time you might begin to develop deep relationships with these emotions and they can eventually become just as vulnerable with you as you are with them. Then, out of your greatest fears, you could build the foundations of your life with rebar from the positive and the negative.
When you decide to take your fears head on and struggle through them no matter what, you give yourself the opportunity to start developing some serious strength in your character and willingness to face the uncomfortable. When you can do that, you are developing invaluable skills that will help you achieve your dreams.
Stop running and start facing what scares you. When you face what scares you, you end up realizing you have a whole lot more power than you ever would have thought.
