If your huge dreams don't frighten you, well, they aren't sufficiently large enough.
Nevertheless it goes far beyond 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 incredibly heavy at times. They have substantial weight to them. But they also have an phenomenal lightness about them if you actually give them a chance.
You see, most folks attempt to go after their dreams a few times, and when they fail, they give up fully. The significant amount of sacrifice, discomfort, and anguish it takes to constantly go after something that you have imagined in your brain is large. Big dreams will test your mettle . If you are not yet the type of person you need to be to see the dream through, dreams will effectively teach you those lessons through failure and ripping the rug out from underneath you. They have minds of their own and they can be your best teachers.
What can we really do when that fear comes?
Do we have to do anything? Rather than always building walls, running from it, or making an attempt to fix it...can we just sit with it and actually feel that fear? When you stop running from your fears and you ask 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 the people in your life. Over time , you might start developing deep relationships with these thoughts and emotions and they can eventually become just as exposed with you as you are with them. Then, out of your greatest fears, you can 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 upon your greatest fears and your massive dreams? You would never run again. In reality you would stand powerful through any tempest because now you are constructed from something that roots itself thousands of feet deep far into the ground and extends miles into the sky too.
So if your large 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 relationship with it. There's extreme power in fear, but you have got to be ready to hook into it.
