Our successes are not determined by our dreams but they are measured by what we do, carry out or execute in order to accomplish and achieve greatness. People who productively accomplish the supposedly unworkable undertakings of life are those who had dreams and were not afraid to chase their dreams to attain success. Our dreams boost and strengthen, our guts make us bold and brave enough to keep us moving.  When we dream, we should expect the best things of life and no matter the difficulties or trials we may encounter, we are expected to keep going. We should not be scared stiff to connect our dreams to certainty and make them real and actual.

Most people dream without doing anything about their dreams, they just think imaginarily and build castles in the air while some people dream and work to achieve their dreams but along the way, they stopped chasing their dreams.

Here are reasons why people stop chasing their dreams:

* Fear and worry

Some people don’t intentionally ignore their dreams or stop chasing them yet they do that when they allow an optimistic mind to become null and void through the thoughts of fear and worry.  They think negatively and conceal in their minds the thoughts of failure and rack themselves with worry. They refuse to believe in themselves and what they can do to achieve their dreams – faithlessness. We need to believe in ourselves, in our dreams and in our abilities in order to achieve our dreams. A positive mind is a constructive mind, when we think positively, we will always be fruitful, prolific and productive in everything we do.

* Doubt and Indecision

People who stopped chasing their dreams could have been strikingly successful had they stopped doubting their capabilities.  A lot of people who have marvelous dreams and they one way or another decide to carry out some tasks to achieve their dreams but at the last minute shy away from responsibilities because of doubt which does not allow them to even make a start or begin to work towards achieving their dreams. They are reluctant to decide for themselves because they are afraid of making mistakes and they become uncertain in their decisions and at the end of the day, they settle for less. If we want to achieve our dreams, we have to close the door of thoughts to doubts and be confident and sure enough to chase our dreams.

* Discouragement 

Some people can never achieve their dreams when they find themselves withdrawing or losing their dreams. Discouragement makes us withdraw or lose our dreams instead of moving forward and pushing our ways through. We should never look back or withdraw because people don’t see any good in us or because people think that we can’t make it, instead we should make all things possible and prove to them that we can bring our dreams to reality. We should be determined and persistent to make things happen and never allow our eagerness and interests to be diminished by discouragement which we will definitely encounter one way or the other on the road to realizing our dreams.

When we stop chasing our dreams, we are destined for failure. Therefore, it is wise not to stop chasing our dreams; instead we should work hard, be determined and disciplined so that we can be successful and achieve all our dreams in life.
