Why is it Important to Voice Out Our Dreams?

Have you experienced sharing your dreams to a friend and instead of getting moral support, he just doubts its possibility? It’s quite unfortunate that mostly those who doubt our capacities are the same people who are closest to our hearts. As a result, we tend to keep our dreams to ourselves and let them die eventually. We’re afraid to be doubted again, and to be labeled as CRAZY for our dreams.

We always read on every personal development blog to dream big so we can achieve big, but we often disregard the equal importance of voicing it out. Why is it important anways?

It allows us to know who are helpful
We may be ridiculed by some but just remember that this is still a blessing in disguise. It essentially helps us to detect who are the persons relevant to our goals. It’s quite simple. If they doubt you, stay away from them. They’re not helping. That’s the importance of voicing out your dreams. You can know the persons who can give you the support that you need.

Making people aware of your dreams is like asking them if they can be of help. You want to put up your own business. But let’s admit it. It’s easier to go in a business venture with connections. But how can you find connections if you have not been so vocal of your plans? Who knows, some business-minded people are also waiting for someone to partner with – and you’ll definitely meet along the way if you are vocal of your goals.

It helps us to meet our mentors
Let me tell you a short true-to-life story. There was this lady, who came from an underprivileged family. She was selling shirts and a few sweets to finance not just her education, but also her dream of putting up her own empire. What’s so amazing to this lady is she believed profits are not only for needs. She also needed to leverage it and invest to different baskets for BIGGER profits.

Aside from this incredible notion, she’s been so very vocal about her desire to be rich. She screamed how she hated poverty and how hungry she was to earn six figures monthly. Many people doubted her dreams. She was ridiculed. But because of her persistence and strong grip to her dreams, she met her mentor who introduced to her the real estate industry. Now she got so many real properties and her aspiration of earning six figures monthly came true!

Truly she’s an inspiration, isn’t she?

This tells us two things: 1) to dream big; and 2) to have the courage and confidence to voice out our dreams despite knowing some people may ridicule you. Our dreams may be too big for our current resources and knowledge but many people are willing to offer their helping hands to us.  And to be able to find those who can help us, we need to let them know about it.

It gives you a healthy pressure
We are doubted for having enormous dreams. We are ridiculed and the best way to deal it is to prove them wrong! Make it as a healthy pressure. Do your best shot and show them it’s possible. While working on your dreams, always think of them. You should know how to convert these negative people to fuel that will keep you progressing every day.

Conclusion
People might say you’re crazy because your dreams are unrealistic. That’s okay! That just speaks about their mediocrity and that’s the mindset of unsuccessful people. Be bold and vocal about your dreams. Ignore those who doubt, and welcome those who believe in you. We cannot achieve our dreams alone. We need a support system, comrades and mentors who will make it “realistic” and easier to achieve.
