I'm a hypocrite. But guess what, so are you. How many times do you hear the words “do what you love”, “dream big”, or “Just do it”, and how many times do you yourself say those cliché phrases. Let me answer that, you say it all the freaking time to people and you hear it all the time. This is where the hypocrisy comes in play. You say this, just like I do, but you know that you will never actually do any of these things yourself.
So, since nobody wants to be a hypocrite, let’s stop. Stop spending your nights looking at pictures on Instagram of other people living the life that you want and make a change. Take that insanely crazy jump and go for it. Travel to the places you’ve always dreamt of going to. Follow your dream of becoming a professional athlete, a singer, an artist, a certain career, a scholar, an Instagram model, the next bachelorette, whatever the heck it is, do it. Close your eyes and think of the one impossibly amazing thing that you have always dreamt of. Then, throw away the thoughts that are telling you it is impossible.
A dream is called a dream because for some reason everybody has decided that these amazing wants out of life aren’t realist and therefore they gave them the name, dream. Who had the right to decide for everybody in the world that what they want the most is “unrealistic”. Replace the word “dream” with “goal” and work towards it!
We are all so incredibly lucky to live in this world and so few are taking advantage of it! Stop settling for what is reasonable and start taking some risks. There are no limits. So ask yourself if you could be or do anything you want, what is it? And I dare you, better off I double dog dare you, to go for your dream.
Or, just ignore me and go back to bed, you can always dream there.
