7 Reasons Why You Should Never Give Up on Your Dreams

Our dreams are what give us a purpose and keep us going in life. Chasing our dreams is by no means a simple thing; it takes a lot of patience, perseverance and hard work to achieve what you want to do in life.

Everyone has the right to dream; let no one challenge this belief. We all have, at some point in our lives, started questioning our dreams. We give up thinking that we don’t have it in us to turn our dreams into reality.

When you face such a time in your life, remember it is just a time to pause and reflect, not give up.

When you are going through a phase where nothing seems clear, sit down and brainstorm all that is going on in your head. Write them down, reconfirm, analyze and make a plan – the small steps you can take to transform your dreams into reality.

When self-doubt creeps into the heart and despair, begin to take hold, ask yourself why you started chasing them in the first place. The time to work on your dreams is right now, because when we procrastinate tomorrow never comes.

Our lives will be aimless and dull if we give up on our dreams. So,  giving up on them is not an option.

Don't Give Up on Your Dreams for the Fear of Failure

If there is one thing that you can learn from the success stories of people like Abraham Lincoln, Thomas Edison, J K Rowling, and many more like them, it is that you should never give up on your dreams for fear of failure.

Make Space for Mistakes

If you are not making mistakes you are not experimenting enough.

There is no straight way to success – accept the fact that the path will be bridled with obstacles and failures.  It is essential to learn from the mistakes and use those lessons to plan, design and deliver better.

With Failure
Comes Persistence

"Failure is Never Final
Unless You Quit."

It takes hardships and setbacks to cultivate persistence and success comes to those who keep trying persistently. So the next time you feel low – see yourself for the strong person you are and how the setbacks have added experience to your expertise and have made you more capable of achieving your ultimate dreams.

Purpose in Life

"A Life with No Passion is an Unfulfilled Life."

Your life can be as purposeful or as aimless as you mean it to be. Your dreams that stem from your passion give your life meaning. If you are not dreaming, you are merely existing and not living your life to its full potential.

Prove  Them
Wrong

There will always be naysayers, people who will think that you are nuts even to have such big dreams. If you believe in yourself, don’t let that negativity reach you.

The taste of success will be sweeter when you finally prove them wrong.

The path from where you are now and where you want to be might be a long, arduous journey - it will make you emotional and scared too. But if you are persistent enough – your moment will come – it will – hold your head up and stand tall and remind yourself it has all been worth it.

Joy of Success

You won’t get the taste of success overnight. Big dreams need similar efforts. But the way to reaching your final goal will be peppered with small achievements along the way. Always celebrate these little joys and let them act as a motivation to keep you going.

To give up on your dreams is akin to giving up on life; that is undoubtedly not a way one would want to spend their time on this planet. 

So, dream on, dream big, work hard,  hang on, and never give up on your dreams!
