Are Your Dreams Big Dreams?
When it comes to dreams and goals I have one hard and fast rule…
There is no dream too big!
That’s right!, your dreams are your own. One of the greatest truths that we have discovered is that YOU get to decide what you want to become or experience in your own life. You get to choose your own path through life by choosing which of your desires to go after.
People around you, like your friends and family, can put labels on your dreams and tell you that they are too ‘big’ or too ’small’ or some other such nonsense, but only YOU get to decide the true importance of your dreams.
YOU label your dreams as important the moment you decide to go after them.
It is your yearning, your desire to improve your life situation that moves you to take action and to make your dreams a reality. You get to decide which dreams you want to create in your life. Nobody else. You get to decide which of your dreams are big ones and worth going after.
It is those big dreams that you will find yourself pouring your energy into. It is those big dreams that keep you awake at night and get you out of bed early in the morning that have the power to come true. Those big dreams are the ones you will be willing to make sacrifices to achieve.
The good news is that your dreams become big dreams the moment you decide to achieve them. Once you commit yourself to bringing a dream into reality you begin to unlock your full potential and power.
Here are some questions to help you start thinking about those big dreams.
- What area(s) of your life are you struggling in?
- Where do you need to make changes?
- Are they big changes?
- Little changes?
- How will your life improve if you make these changes?
- What will happen if you don’t make these changes?
… and probably the most important question of all…
- When are you going to make those changes?
Asking yourself questions like these is an excellent way to get clear about what is really important to you.
Don’t let the size or apparent difficulty of your dream hold you back either! The world is full of stories of women and men who overcame tremendous obstacles to achieve their dreams. YOU can too.
The secret, if there is such a thing, is simply to make up your mind – to decide – that your dream is worth pursuing. The flip side of this secret is that you will always have a hard time achieving those goals and dreams that aren’t important to YOU.
So decide what is important to you and begin moving towards YOUR dreams. You will be surprised at how the universe responds when you commit yourself to improving your life.

Hi Bob,
I saw your post on Facebook and shot right over. I agree w/ your article 100%, I’ve been reading The Success Principles the last week and everything your talking about is right on target.
My next goal is to get involved in the Motivation Speaking Field. I’ve started outlining a map of the process by talking to others in the field. Then it’s off to the races…
Great article, I’m looking forward to the next.
Best Regards,
Bill Clemens
I agree 100 percent with you when you say you have to decide exactly what you want to achieve it. I have my dream job now because I decided what I really wanted to do.
Thanks for the encouragement, great post!!!
Great post, Bob! Commitment is the key here. And when you find your true dreams, it is so easy to commit to them and stay motivated.
Bill – Thanks, you are on the right track. You can’t go wrong following Jack’s advice either!
Peace,
Bob
Donna- Keep following your dreams! I’m behind you 100%!
Love,

Lana – That’s so important, isn’t it? Having a strong reason ‘why’ you want something makes it easy to move in that direction.
Peace,
Bob

Bob, I 100% agree. It is so important to know your “why” and really feel it to make the dreams come true. There are no small dreams, always Dream Big!

Hi Bob, thankx for the article. I agree with you. There is something i wanna share, this is from my point of view that is….what is believe that i am the only driver of my life it mean i am the driver of my dreams, mind, health. like its me, its my body, its my thought, its my mind and i am the driver so its up to me where am gonna drive myself. And for me it really doesn’t matter how big the dream is, the matter is how good am in driving. If am good enough i’ll drive, no matter happens………..
@ Lara: Thanks!
