Realizing Your Dreams

Don’t Let These 4 Things Hold You Back From Realizing Your Dreams

Don’t let these things hold you back from realizing your dreams   Life is tough and we are all on different paths to success and happiness. I’m not going to go into what the meaning of what life is, or anything like that, that’s for you to argue in your own time. However, whatever the meaning is, sure enough you can guarantee that it’s going to be one hell of a journey and one thing that is certain, there will always be changes.   Whether your goal is to join NASA, find fame or to enjoy a quiet country life, there will always be obstacles that try us, people that deter us and circumstances that “aren’t the right time”. The key to overcoming these obstacles is firstly to recognize the things that are holding you back because only then can you possibly try to overcome them.

Watering your dreams

LAO TZU: Watering your dreams

Lao Tzu is said to be the founder of Taoism (although it’s disputed he ever lived at all) – an opposite set of beliefs from Confucianism, which was also invented around the same time (approx 500BC). Confucius placed emphasis on moral actions towards others, whereas Taoism was more concerned with self-discovery, inward reflection, simplicity and adapting to circumstances around you. Or so I think anyway, I could be wrong. The only thing I know about Taoism was that Bruce Lee studied it and he mentioned it a lot in his writings and teachings. However, the main concepts of tao, wu, wu-wei and fu are still beyond me – if anyone has a good beginner’s guide to Taoism they can recommend, I’m all ears. Having said that, this is such a great quote – worry, fear, negativity – these things never really help a situation, do they?
UPDATE: After further research and feedback from readers, it’s most likely this is misattributed to Lao Tzu. If anyone knows the real source, please let me know.
