Ever felt like life is suffocating you and none of your dreams will thrive.
What I know is that pursuing our dreams often feels like that, like its a long tiring journey with an unreachable destination.
Do you know that feeling?
Here are 5 things that will help your dreams thrive.
Choose people who can breathe life into your dreams.
Ever been around people who suck your soul dry.
People who calculate a million ways it cannot be done and throw a whole lot of negativity at you.
They stop you from trying and they kill your budding dreams.
You have to be picky about who you associate with.
Choose to be with dream builders, the ones who will ask what can I do to help you today?
Devote your time to education.
Dreams happen because you equip yourself. Equip yourself with education.
Eat sleep and breathe education.
Education will help you prepare for the dreams ahead of you.
Treat your dreams like a man who goes to the battle field fully armed and ready to fight.
Cultivate your dreams
The things we cultivate thrive, and those we don’t cultivate will die.
Your dreams cannot thrive without you cultivating them.
It is your duty to tilt the ground on which they can grow.
Remove the weeds that would otherwise compete with what you want to grow, cut off the things that are unnecessary and do not serve your purpose.
Devote time to your dreams
Whatever I have tried to do in life, I have tried with all my heart to do it well; whatever I have devoted myself to, I have devoted myself completely……Charles Dickens
When you are busy it is easy to let days slide by without noticing the dreams your heart craves for.
It is easy to let the humdrum of daily life swallow the things you are passionate about.
But if you are to give your dreams a chance you are going to have to devote time and devote yourself completely.
Keep going even when you don’t have immediate returns
Returns whether monetary or in other forms are good, but your dreams should not be about getting immediate returns.
Remember that somethings cannot be hurried.
When you are not getting any returns think of what Bob Dylan says
“What’s Money? A man is a success if he gets up in the morning and goes to bed at night in between he does what he loves to do”.
