Dream Stealers And The Dream Catchers

In a great book called The Success Principles by a great man named Jack Canfield (author of all those Chicken Soup for the soul books), Jack confronts the subject of limiting beliefs.

When we are born, as newborns we are absolutely fearless, we know of no limitations at first that society puts into our minds, and we know how to communicate what we like and don’t like, we cry when hungry, or when in need of a change, but as we begin to grow and age, we’re taught limiting behaviours all the time like, “you can’t do that”, “no”, “don’t be silly”, “don’t touch that”, “that’s impossible”. And as we go through life we are exposed to more and more limiting behaviours which we all are led to believe are normal in society. But when you look at examples of successful people, especially those from less than stellar backgrounds or situations, what you find it that successful people do not listen to limiting behaviours, they identify what they want, what truly makes them happy, and they go for it, they lean into it, completely ignoring the “dream stealers”, the people who say you”re not good enough, talented enough, smart enough, attractive enough. And worst case if it doesn’t work out they are richer for going after their dreams, and they don’t spend a day looking back and wondering “what if”.

Anyone can make a living at anything.
You can do something everyday that you love or are passionate about and make a living at it.
Ignore the nay sayers, practice your craft, be always willing to learn and find a way to get your work noticed.
Use positive self-talk
Make a vision or a goal board. Share your visions and goals with others because that pushes you to make those things happen
Take calculated risks

And who gives a shit if you’re not the world’s best________ as long as you believe in your own eyes that you are, and it makes you happy.

Be a dream catcher.
