"If you have dreams, it's your responsibility to make them happen."
Good Morning Folks,
All of us want to invent that game-changing product, launch that successful company, write that best-selling book. And yet so few of us actually do it. Brazilian entrepreneur Bel Pesce breaks down five easy-to-believe myths that ensure your dream projects will never come to fruition
What do you suppose they are? Those things that’ll kill your dreams?
You can’t believe they can be yours? Your dreams that is.
What about I don’t believe I can be that person.
Or there’s always I‘m not good enough to have my dreams come true?
These come under the category of doubt and yep that’ll do it. Doubt is a great way to repel anything that might otherwise be drawn to us. All those beautiful desires, burned out by the flame of doubt.
So sad.
When we join the Doubting Thomas crew you can be sure we’re uncertain and distrusting. Uncertain of what? Distrusting of what? Us? The creative laws of the universe that are ours to operate to our heart’s content? What the heck’s with that? What are we focused on here…certainly not the fulfillment of our desires. Once again we’re back on that old arguing for our limitations bandwagon.
But really, one of the biggest killer of our dreams is inertia. Join it with fear and you have an awesome twosome, in the worst sense of the phrase. The terrible twos.
Our challenge is that there are times when the status quo is too damned comfortable. We don’t want to rock the boat, no, not even to experience our greatest dream, because what if….
It doesn’t work out…
I can’t do what I need to do to have what I want…
I might actually succeed and then what?
The best way to kill your dreams? Listen to the advice of others, rather than following your own best instincts.
Often, our goals in life can only be reached with the cooperation of others. Lacking that cooperation, goals may not be met because they cannot be achieved alone.
Tells Bel, "I myself have a story in Brazil that people think is an overnight success. I come from a humble family, and two weeks before the deadline to apply to MIT, I started the application process. And, voila! I got in. People may think it's an overnight success, but that only worked because for the 17 years prior to that, I took life and education seriously. Your overnight success story is always a result of everything you've done in your life through that moment."

Here's Bel....
Wise words Bel. I'm a big fan of yours :) What a great talk Bel Pesce, very motivating and inspiring.
It really gives people courages as well as telling things are not easy in real life. Love all the points especially No 1 about overnight success and no 5 about the journey. We are all waiting for that magic moment but actually success comes when we actually enjoy the journey. This is powerful. I hope more and more young people can come to understand life in their own positive way.Taking hard work as one of very fabulous success for us to persuit in our life
So, believe in overnight success, believe someone else has the answers for you, believe that when growth is guaranteed, you should settle down, believe the fault is someone else's, and believe that only the goals themselves matter. Believe me, if you do that, you will destroy your dreams.
Have a GREAT Day,
