MR DREAM KEEPS RUNNING AWAY

Dreams don't run away to escape us; they run to see if we'll chase them with determination and persistence. Success requires hunting down your dreams through fears, procrastination, and challenges that test your commitment to achieving what matters most.

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Life is waiting for you each day and you have to
prepare for each challenge alongthe way towards success.
It's not simple, but it can bedone.
Welcome to my Common SenseMotivation episodes.
I'm Chris Fantastic Powell.
Mr Dream keeps running andhiding.
We all have a vision of whatsuccess looks like Not someone

(00:22):
else's version, your version,the business, the life, the
legacy.
But sometimes chasing it feelslike chasing a shadow.
Let me tell you about Sarah.
She woke up one morning withclarity in her spirit.
Today was the day.
She had the plan, she had themindset, she even had the energy
.
Sarah sat down, wrote out hergoals and mapped out a real path

(00:45):
to where she wanted to be.
She was ready, the dream she'dbeen thinking about for years.
It finally felt within reach.
But something strange happened.
Every time she moved closer, mrDream ran Not walked, not
drifted, but ran.
She saw it peek around thecorner of a project she needed

(01:06):
to finish.
But when she got there, gone,she saw it hiding behind a
presentation she was nervous togive.
She prepared, stepped up and itdisappeared again.
Every time she got bold, took astep and tried to execute.
Mr Dream vanished just longenough to delay her.
But here's what Sarah realizedand it changed everything.

(01:30):
Mr Dream wasn't running to getaway, he was running to see if
she'd chase.
Because dreams don't belong tothe comfortable, they don't come
to the lazy, they don't standstill for the uncommitted.
Dreams are not hand-delivered,they are hunted down.
Mr Dream hides behind fear,behind procrastination, behind

(01:51):
the proposal you keep puttingoff, behind the late night when
everyone else is asleep and youstill got work to do, behind
that uncomfortable conversation,that leap of faith, that skill
you haven't mastered yet.
And if you quit chasing becausehe runs, you'll never catch him
.
But if you refuse to stop, ifyou keep showing up when it's

(02:12):
hard, if you keep knocking whenthe door won't open, mr Dream
eventually stops running, heturns around and he begins to
walk with you.
So don't be discouraged.
Be determined.
Your dream is not gone.
It's just hiding, waiting tosee if you've got what it takes
to go all the way.

(02:33):
Now ask yourself this Will youchase, will you follow through?
Because Mr Dream is out thereand he only shows up for the
relentless.
Make it happen.
I'm Chris Fantastic Powell.
