If your huge dreams don't scare you, well, they aren't sufficiently large enough.
Nevertheless it goes past just being frightened. There are instances when you are seriously going to be immobilized in fear. You may feel the immensity of the dream weighing down on your shoulders. Dreams are dense. They are incredibly heavy at times. They have substantial weight to them. But they have also got an fantastic lightness about them if you actually give them a chance.
You see, most people attempt to go after their dreams a number of times, and when they fail, they give up fully. The significant amount of sacrifice, agony, and anguish it takes to consistently go after something that you have only imagined in your brain is big. Gigantic dreams will test your mettle . If you are not the person you need to be to see the dream through, dreams will effectively teach you those lessons through failure and ripping the rug out from the floor underneath you. They have minds of their own and they can be your most significant teachers.
What are we really able to actually do when that fear comes?
Do we really have to do anything? Rather than always building walls, running from it, or attempting to fix it...can we 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. What if, when fear, doubt and worry show up in your life, rather than building walls to lock them out you commence building relations with these feelings. Start understanding them, listening to them, feeling into them - just as you do with people in your life. Over the course of time you could begin to develop deep relationships with these thoughts and emotions and they can finally become just as deeply vulnerable with you as you are with them. Then, out of your worst nightmares, you could build the foundations of your life with rebar from the positive and the negative.
How powerful would that be...to be able to create an unshakeable foundation built strongly upon your greatest fears and your massive dreams? You would truly never run again. Actually you would stand powerful through any typhoon because now you are built from something that roots itself thousands of feet deep far into the ground and extends miles into the sky as well.
So if your big dreams frighten you...good. But when that fear arrives, don't run from it. No, use it. Melt it down and cast foundations with it. Court it. Create a connection with it. There's great power in fear, but you have got to be prepared to hook into it.
