It’s easy to get caught in the trap of dreaming too much. Dreaming is good. It helps you visualise what you want. But dreams alone won’t lead you to success. In fact, they’ll steal it from you!
So in this video, we’re gonna use the help of Philosophy and some of my own rationalisation to help you overcome this bad habit!

Have you ever dreamt of doing or achieving something? I’m guessing you probably have.
You mave have even fantasised about it to the point where you know exactly what you want and how it should be done.
But here’s the tough truth – ideas alone are useless!
As creatives, we tend to treat our work like our child. We nurture it the best we can and hope that it does well. But sometimes, we nurture it excessively and don’t let it shine on its own. We fear that the effort we put in may not be enough and our child may not be at its best. So we keep trying to make it better.
Does this sound like something you do? Well, I can totally relate. I experience that a lot of times. In fact, I’ve been going through that a lot recently, which is why I haven’t been posting as frequently as I used to.
So I thought I’d just whip open the editor and start hitting the keys till I produced another successful child for you guys. But before I was able to do that, I faced crippling thoughts about how the time needed to be right and my article needed to be great, etc. And that stopped me from even getting started.
But even once you begin, you’re faced with the Procrastination Monster that holds you back from completing your projects. And this big fella is controlled by a persistent tamer called Your Inner Critic. You know, that voice that critiques you about every little thing and settles for nothing less than perfection.
If you’re feeling overwhelmed by what looks like a mountain-load of work, remember to take it one step at a time.
Break down that large task into smaller, simpler ones. Focus on the next smallest physical action you can take over the final product you want to achieve.
Results are the sum of actions. So once you’ve decided your end goal, make sure to concentrate on action and implement your plans. Even the littlest steps can take you closer to your vision.
So if you’re feeling flustered, take a moment to step back and make things simpler. “A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step,” as Chinese philosopher Laozi said.
