MR DREAM KEEPS RUNNING AWAY
Dreams don't run away to escape us; they run to see if we'll chase them with determination and persistence. Success requires hunting down your dreams through fears, procrastination, and challenges that test your commitment to achieving what matters most.
Life is waiting for you each day and you have to prepare for each challenge along the way towards success. It's not simple, but it can be done. Welcome to my Common Sense Motivation episodes. I'm Chris Fantastic Powell. Mr Dream keeps running and hiding. We all have a vision of what success looks like Not someone else's version, your version, the business, the life, the legacy. But sometimes chasing it feels like chasing a shadow.
Speaker 1:Let me tell you about Sarah. She woke up one morning with clarity in her spirit. Today was the day. She had the plan, she had the mindset, she even had the energy. Sarah sat down, wrote out her goals and mapped out a real path to where she wanted to be. She was ready, the dream she'd been thinking about for years. It finally felt within reach.
Speaker 1:But something strange happened. Every time she moved closer, mr Dream ran Not walked, not drifted, but ran. She saw it peek around the corner of a project she needed to finish. But when she got there, gone, she saw it hiding behind a presentation she was nervous to give. She prepared, stepped up and it disappeared again. Every time she got bold, took a step and tried to execute. Mr Dream vanished just long enough to delay her.
Speaker 1:But here's what Sarah realized and it changed everything. Mr Dream wasn't running to get away, he was running to see if she'd chase. Because dreams don't belong to the comfortable, they don't come to the lazy, they don't stand still for the uncommitted. Dreams are not hand-delivered, they are hunted down. Mr Dream hides behind fear, behind procrastination, behind the proposal you keep putting off, behind the late night when everyone else is asleep and you still got work to do, behind that uncomfortable conversation, that leap of faith, that skill you haven't mastered yet. And if you quit chasing because he runs, you'll never catch him. But if you refuse to stop, if you keep showing up when it's hard, if you keep knocking when the door won't open, mr Dream eventually stops running, he turns around and he begins to walk with you.
Speaker 1:So don't be discouraged. Be determined. Your dream is not gone. It's just hiding, waiting to see if you've got what it takes to go all the way. Now ask yourself this Will you chase, will you follow through? Because Mr Dream is out there and he only shows up for the relentless. Make it happen. I'm Chris Fantastic Powell.
