It's a quote I came across a while ago on the internet. It's simple and short, yet the truth of the words hold a deep truth.
~ If your dreams don't scare you, they're not big enough. ~
As a college student, I sometimes struggle to see the light at the end of the tunnel. The routine becomes monotonous: drink coffee, go to class, study, do homework, eat, sleep, repeat.
Soon I find myself in a pile of books and homework and I'm losing motivation. But then something reminds me of my end goal, of my dream.
Sometimes it's volunteering, sometimes it's an Instagram picture of someone who has achieved my goal, and sometimes it randomly hits me like a slap in the face.
The career path that aligns with my passion is not an easy one. Every time I look at the statistics of the acceptance rates, or I meet another student who is on the same path as me, my chest becomes tight and anxiety creeps in.
Will I be good enough? Can I do this? If I get there, will I succeed?
Of course, it doesn't help when there are people who don't believe in you, who are whispering things to get you to change your major or who think they know you well enough and predict that you won't make it.
They are obstacles, and as you come closer to achieving your goal, the obstacles that are attempting to block your path double.
If you need to hear it from anyone if you need a sign from the universe to tell you that your future may be uncertain and the path to get there is scary, but that it will all be worth it in the end? If you came across this article, then take it as a sign. It will be worth it.
