15: UCYP – Whose Dream Is It?

Megan and Tim have an Uphill Conversation on dreams – why people have trouble identifying their dreams and determine if the dream you’re pursuing is truly your own.

Show Notes: 

• 4 reasons people why people have trouble identifying their dreams
• Comfort can be something that stops us from pursuing our dreams
• Having courage and confidence to go after your dream
• When someone else owns your dream v. you owning your dream
• It can be difficult to realize that you aren’t where you’re meant to be; to change direction and to do it without fear
• “Whatever you think, be sure it is what you think; whatever you want, be sure that it is what you want; whatever you feel, be sure that it is what you feel.” – T.S. Eliot
• Steps to take ownership of your dreams:
  • Be willing to bet on yourself
  • Lead your life instead of accepting your life
  • Love what you do and do what you love
  • Don’t compare yourself or your dream to others
  • Believe in your vision for the future even when others don’t understand you
• You need to make the right decisions and manage those decisions
• Begin with the end in mind, be intentional
• Allow yourself to shift
• Just because you can do something, or that you’re good at something, doesn’t mean that it’s what your ultimately meant to do
• You need both talent and passion to truly achieve your potential
• “I can’t give you my passion, but I can show it to you.”
• What someone else thinks about you is none of your business
• If you need to daily talk others into your dream, it might be an indication that this relationship isn’t meant to be
• No matter your age, you can still make the changes necessary to pursue your dream
