What if everything we seek to acquire in regards to possessions, relationships, jobs and security is truly what keeps us from reaching our goals. Is our reluctance to risk any of these things holding us back. Some people work and strive for these things, some people simply fall into them, but either way is a person's progression limited by them? Is the feeling of security and consistency so enticing that we change from dedicated and driven people with an entire world before them into drones destined to repeat the same activities for the rest of our lives?
I can only speak for myself, but as I look at my surroundings, I think that maybe I am not accomplishing my dreams because I am afraid to lose my house. Maybe my girlfriend will break up with me if I spend the time I need to on my goals. My job might take up too much of my time and leave me mentally or physically drained to the point where my own plans suffer. I like my air conditioning and I like my car and my cable TV. However, deep down I think I like my dreams even more. I believe that is the major question that any dreamer must ask at some point. What is more important, comfort and mediocrity or struggle and the pursuit of what you really want? Maybe it is at the start of their journey where it might be time to leave the comforts of home, maybe it is towards the end when a final push is needed and everything they have ever worked for is at risk?
There will come a time in your life when the question will be asked of you. "Will you risk the comforts of your current existence for greater rewards or will you be content in your current standing, able to watch as your dreams fade away?" What will your answer be?
