Giving Up Is Not an Option: The Motivation You Need to Hear Right Now

The Mel Robbins Podcast

NOTE

How to Keep Your Dream Alive

Being honest with yourself about what you truly want is the essential first step to achieving your dreams. Many people spend excessive energy avoiding their desires by making excuses or downplaying their dreams, which only distances them from the fulfillment they seek. When you jokingly dismiss your aspirations or list reasons why you can't pursue them, you are effectively extinguishing the passion within you. Identifying and eliminating these excuses—whether related to finances, time, age, or know-how—is crucial, as they act as cold water on the flame of your ambitions. Embracing your desires can be daunting, as it forces you to confront the possibility of disappointment and fear. However, it is important to shift your mindset from worrying about what could go wrong to considering what could go right. Envision the success you desire and allow that vision to inspire you, as believing in the potential of your dreams is a powerful motivator. Keep the flame alive by actively moving toward your aspirations and acknowledging that the path to success begins with the courage to pursue what is meant for you.
