If your gigantic dreams don't frighten you, well, they aren't big enough.
Nevertheless it goes past just being shocked. There are occasions when you will be immobilized in fear. You'll feel the immensity of the dream weighing down on your shoulders. Dreams are dense. Dreams are significantly heavy at times. They have substantial weight to them. But they have also got an phenomenal lightness about them if you really give them an opportunity.
You see, most folks try to go after their dreams a number of times, and when they fail, they give up completely. The significant amount of sacrifice, discomfort, and anguish it takes to constantly go after something that you have imagined in your mind is large. Big dreams will test your mettle . If you aren't the type of person you have to be to see the dream through, dreams will effectively teach you those lessons through failure and ripping the rug out from the floor underneath you. They have minds of their own and they can be your most significant teachers.
What are we really able to actually do when that fear comes?
Do we actually have to do anything? Rather than always building walls, running from it, or attempting to fix it...can we just sit with it and truly feel that fear? When you stop running from your fears and you nicely invite 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 start building relationships with these feelings. Start understanding them, listening to them, feeling into them - just as you do with people in your life. Over the passage of time you might begin developing deep relationships with these emotions and they can eventually become just as exposed with you as you are with them. Then, out of your greatest fears, you might build the foundations of your life with rebar from the positive and the negative.
How powerful would that be...to be well placed to create an unshakeable foundation built strongly upon your worst fears and your massive dreams? You would truly never run again. Actually you would stand powerful through any tempest because now you are constructed from something that roots itself thousands of feet deep into the ground and extends miles into the sky above.
So if your big dreams test 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 friendship with it. There's great power in fear, but you need to be prepared to hook straight into it.
