Ten Enemies To Your Visions by PreciousGem(f): 5:17pm On Feb 12, 2015
Every man or woman has the ability to dream. We all have dreams to be someone great in life but not everyone actually achieved the reality of their dreams. This is due to the fact that there are some enemies that stand on the way to your visions in life limiting you from ever achieving your true purpose in life. I present to you these enemies that hinders you from achieving your vision;

1. Fear
Fear is having faith in the impossible, while faith is daring the impossible. Fears dwell on all that could go wrong while trying to achieve your dreams it never looks at the possibility of success. Fear puts a restriction on your moving forward towards your vision its gives you 101 reasons why your plans, purpose and vision would result in a total failure. In other to tackle this enemy you would have to limit the kind of information you listen to or accept in life.

2. Discouragement
Many visions have been aborted due to discouragement. Whatever you start in life demands patience and perseverance. If you cannot cope with it you would be highly discourage and disappointed. You need to motivate yourself by believing that your constant pursuit of your dreams will come to reality. Due to the fast rate by which the world wants to get things done quickly has made many not to be patience enough about their visions and so make them discourage.

3. Procrastination
This enemy is also a great damage to our nation as well. Procrastination is the delaying of action until a later time. A man apply for a job and it take a year and more for him to receive a call for interview or appointment letter. Our leaders procrastinate things too much teaching the citizens to rely on this dangerous enemy. This enemy attack out of discouragement over a thing you have been pursuing for long it makes you give reason to delay it. Procrastination eats away our time and motivation.

4. Past Failures
How many time did Thomas Edison fail before he was able to succeed? Has anyone ever asked themselves such question when you view your past failures. Many people refuse to take risk because of past failures. Failure is never a reason to stop trying, rather it provides another opportunity to achieve success. Many visionary we call great today achieved their success out of their failures. So don’t let failure haunt it but let it motivate you to do more.

5. The Opinions of Others
‘What would people say’ too many people have thought before taking an action. Many ideas have been shared with friends who have given them 50 reasons why it won’t work and has also criticize their visions. Well check out most celebrities; they make names out of criticism. If you are afraid of criticism then you don’t intend to achieve success in life. When you change plan to suit the ideas of your family, friends and business associates you are heading for a big failure in life. Remember that man wants to see result before they can believe in your dreams and encourage you, so do not trust others opinion whether friends or family to work for your good they can often turn against you and destroy what you have been working all your life to accomplish.

6. Distractions
This enemy has been use to divert the dreams of many great people with great potentials the world need. For instance a man is meant to achieve great success in discovering plants for medicinal purpose but because he sees himself as a graduate, he would prefer to carry his certificate searching for jobs everywhere. Instant gratification rather than delayed gratification has allowed many to be distracted from their dreams. Many have fixed themselves in different activities in life that they don’t know it serve as a distractions towards their goals actualization. For you to tackle distractions you have to engage yourself in self-discipline.

7. Success
This is when you complete a task and quits because you think you have arrived. This enemies is a big killer of dreams to many Nigerians – a man with a car, house of his own, wife and children, a constant job with better pay and pension scheme would think he is successful and doesn’t need anything else. Many Nigerians achieved success being an employee not knowing they can be an employer of labour. You need to leave your so-call success and create a bigger one. If you are not satisfied where you are deep down in you, then it means you are not living your dreams no matter how successful you are.

8. Tradition
Have you had the statement ‘we have never done it that way before’? Just like distraction, traditions plays a role in killing vision. It makes one to do things the way it has always been done. Tradition does not permit new ideas, it interfere with the conventional way of doing things. You should be an explorer not just a passenger in a journey! Tradition would tell you that there is no new way of doing things but the way it has always been done. Do not give in to this enemy but endeavor to use your imagination above every traditions in your life; then you would achieve greater possibilities in your life.

9. A Wrong Environment
Environment plays big role in achieving our visions in life. A rich mindset cannot become rich in a poor environment. You can’t take a fish from water, put it on land and expect it to survive. It is said that bad company corrupt good character. Many dreams have been destroy because they have been shared with the wrong set of people. You cannot share a rich dream to a poor dreamer, it would definitely look bigger than him. Neither can you have a good and bright intentions and be in bad company, you would eventually think and act as they do.

10. Comparism
This the final enemy to your dreams and I would say that parents often fall in this category. Comparing a successful child to one who isn’t yet successful. It is good to run your own race many are busy running the race of others because of comparism. This tendency to compare often produce discouragement and false pride. Every individual is made for a particular purpose and for a particular dream, when you began to compare your skills and abilities you forfeit the opportunity to achieve great in life.

Enjoy Life!
