2. 4 Reasons Why We Don't Dream Big Enough
Most people have at least one big dream. However, the most
significant percentage of them will keep theirs a dream-a pie in the
sky idea-by never even trying to make it happen. We may even
ask ourselves what's holding us back from even attempting to live
the dream. If you want to take the risk, but have still been sitting
on the fence, don't beat yourself up. But do understand these five
reasons why so many of us chose to play it safe rather than do
something extraordinary. Awareness of how they affect you is the
first step to overcoming them.
3. 4 Reasons Why We Don't Dream Big Enough
1. We Don't Make It Clear
We all have spells of daydreaming every once and a while, but how
often do we turn those daydreams into reachable goals? One of the
big reasons why we don't have big enough dreams is that we let
them slip away. We didn't define them and set them as clear
priorities-instead, we just look at them as "must be nice" and
move on.

2. We're Underestimating Our Abilities
If it sounds like you could never lose weight, you're underrating
yourself. If it seems like you'll never be able to run a company,
you're undervaluing yourself. These things have been done by
people just like you, so why can't you do them? The answer is you
can! The belief that we aren't good enough is one of the biggest
reasons why people don't take the chance to make their dreams
come true.

3. We Don't Have the Skills
A dream may sound scary if you don't have the skills necessary to
do it, but why would you stop at that? You can learn anything you
wish to, and you can get started today. Most big dreams don't rely
on formal education or years of study. But we often hold ourselves
back because we don't believe we have what it takes to learn the
skills necessary to make our dreams a reality.

4. We're Afraid
We're afraid of so many things. Failure, success, what others will
think. Everyone who has ever gone after their big dream has been
scared of something. There's a part of our brain that's job is to
keep us safe, which means staying where we are. When we think
about reaching for a big goal, it brings up all types of thoughts to
make us stay safe and small, so we don't get hurt. Understanding
that everyone is afraid and that our brain is part of the reason we
are can go a long way to getting up the courage to try anyway.
