Reasons for Burying Our Dreams

Many of us bury our dreams due to various reasons. One reason is that we believe our passions are not practical or are seen as a luxury. We may think they are selfish, silly, or unimportant. We also tend to bury our dreams to protect ourselves from potential disappointment. The fear of pursuing our dreams and not achieving them can be overwhelming.
