If your dreams don't scare you, they aren't big enough.
But it goes past just being scared. There are times when you will be paralyzed in fear. You'll feel the immensity of the dream weighing down on your shoulders. Dreams are dense. They're significantly heavy sometimes. But they also have an incredible lightness about them if you actually give them an opportunity to blossom.
You see, most people try to go after their dreams a few times, and when they fail, they give up fully. The amount of sacrifice, discomfort, and torment it takes to continually go after something that you have imagined in your mind is enormous. Gigantic dreams will test your personality. If you are not the individual you need to be to see the dream through, dreams will effectively teach you those lessons through failure and ripping the rug out from beneath you. They have minds of their own and they can be your greatest teachers.
What can we do when that paralyzing fear comes in trying to stop us?
Nothing.
Instead of building walls, running from it, or making an attempt to fix it, why can't just sit with it and really feel that fear? When you stop running from your fears and you ask them into your life, a relationship develops.
When you begin to understand your fears and listen to what they are trying to tell you, you can learn day in and day out about where your weak spots are and where you need to do some work. More importantly however, you can start to develop a relationship with negative emotions instead of trying to avoid them at all costs.
How incredible would that be - to be well situated with your emotions and to create an unbreakable foundation built on your worst fears and your enormous dreams? You would never run again. In fact, you would stand strong through any storm as you are constructed from something that roots itself thousands of feet deep down into the ground and extends miles into the sky above.
So if your big dreams scare you, good. But when that fear arrives, don't run from it. Instead, use it. Melt it down and cast foundations with it. Court it. Create a relationship with it. There's great power in fear, but you need to be willing to hook straight into it.
