The Hidden Danger of Dreaming Big

When it comes to thinking about your future and setting goals in life, which approach is better: to dream big or to focus on small things? As a person who was a true adept of the first approach for the vast part of my life, I can say that being over-ambitious can be even more damaging for you than not having any ambitions at all.

You see, since I was a little kid, I strongly believed that I was entitled to success. I didn’t have a single doubt about becoming a world-renowned persona and building a perfect career. I have to say that at that time I had some reasons to think so. I was used to being the best at basically everything. Straight A-s, top of the class. The brightest kid in my class, they called me. I lived in a cocooned environment, dreamed about my future success and didn’t even realize how harsh the reality might be.

However, everything changed when I left my hometown and entered the university. Soon enough, I had to come to grips with the fact that I wasn’t the best anymore. I was surrounded by a great deal of incredibly intelligent young people who were the brightest kids in their own classes. I still was rather good at most of the subjects, but I wasn’t the best and that made me feel depressed. I simply wasn’t able to appreciate small achievements and enjoy small things.

 I guess, I would have continued becoming more and more frustrated and dissatisfied with myself. Thankfully, I managed to realize the truth: big aims are good but they are not everything; small achievements are equally important. And you can’t get everything at once: it’s okay to fail as long as you learn something from your failure and continue moving forward on your way to success.
