16 Reasons Why Most People Fail to Chase or Follow Their Dreams

Most people are not following or chasing their dreams but they are thinking they are following their dreams. Very often, you will see people doing some non-essential or uncritical or unnecessary or less important things in which they put their hope on by so doing they work hard at it but the result or outcomes does not fit into their biggest expectations. When you are working hard, doing the unnecessary or less important things, do not expect miracle to just happen. Miracles happen when you are doing the right or the necessary or the essential or the critical things. That is the things you are supposed to be doing or should do. Miracles happen when you spend your time doing the things that matters and not wasting all of your time on the things that do not matter. Here are some factors why most people fail to chase or follow their dreams:

1.      1. Their level or power of actions are not equal to their cherished desires or highest purposes: People pray for one thing they end up doing another thing. The thing or things people do, do not align with the thing or things they pray about or for.  Each of the things you are praying for has certain prescribed duties or works or responsibilities that are attached to that thing or things. To attain or gain each of them, you must do the work attached to each of them.

The actions that are required of a specific desire to gain it are quite different from each other in their nature. Some of our desires are small, some are less important, some are big or very, or much important. The big or very important desires required different level of actions as compare to the small or less important ones.

If you leave the actions of the big desires and start doing the ones of the small or less important desires, you cannot gain the big desires. It is not magical. So your power or level of actions must be equal to your dreams. People fail to follow their dreams because their level of actions is not corresponding with their dreams.

2.      2. Fear dominate their lives: When fear of various kind is always influencing, or dominating the actions or conduct or behaviors of people, they will not be able to chase after their dreams or what they have prayed for. Fears distract people from doing the things they should really do. Fears divert people attentions to somethings else other than that which they are meant to do. Fears can make people to lose their hope in going after their dreams. When fear grabbed the better part of you or your mind, it will strike a big blow on your self-confidence or break your faith. Once this happen, your interest in chasing your dreams will no longer be there.

3.      3. Their corrupt desires or passions rule their conducts: Our desires can be genuine or corrupt. If your corrupt desires are the ones ruling your conducts, you will often go for them. You will spend or waste most or even all of your time chasing those corrupt desires and you will have no time going after your genuine desires or passions. Most often people take their corrupt desires as their sole aims or purposes due to the inability to filter those desires.

They are unable to separate the desire that should count from those that do not count. Some people think chasing their corrupt passions can help them to catch their dreams. So, they indulge in those corrupt desires or passions to the point that they cannot chase their dreams because they have lose their focus.   

4.      4. They keep procrastinating when to take actios: The reason most people procrastinate in taking actions is that their thought, or mentality has affected their reality negatively. Procrastination is the slowness as a consequence of not getting around to it. It is the act or habit of procrastinating, or putting off to a future time; delay; dilatoriness. It is delaying or deferring an action to a later time.

Looking at the meanings of the term procrastination, it is very clear that procrastination becloud people judgement of what they are supposed to do and when they are supposed to do those things that they are supposed to do.  It is the postponement of taking actions or steps to get the things done. It makes people to be comfortable with their comfort areas or zones or places.

The more people procrastinate in doing their duties or works, the more their works or duties keep piling and left undone or unattended to. The more they procrastinate the more they never get the work done. And the more they stop chasing their dreams.

5.      5. They are not prepared, if bidden, to return a thousand times: Preparing to return a thousand times as possible if bidden is an asset or great power to the individual. In chasing or while chasing their dreams, most people have not prepared to return as many times as needed or demanded in order to get the depressing or disagreeable or distasteful duty done. The first bidden or defeat quickly sweep their legs off the ground and they just pull or withdrew back from doing the needful or chasing their dreams.

Most people do not often prepare their mind for something unpleasant. So in the event of coming across things which are not pleasant they give up on their dreams or withdrew from chasing their dreams any longer. People only prepare their mind to do only things that pleases their mind or that they love. While the things that does not pleases them or they do not love, they tend to ignore or forget about it.

People ignore their dreams because their dreams are tied to the actions that they do not like or love or to somethings that do not pleases them. Why do people do not like the actions or works or duties that are meant to bring their dreams into reality? The answer to this question is that their negative thought or poor mentality has affected their reality.

6.      6. Loss of focus and the failure to give complete attention to what they love to achieve: The ability to give full or complete or proper, or concentrated attention to one’s work is the problem here. People have difficulties in directing their attention on or giving full and complete attention to what they are supposed to do.

What you are supposed to do are more important than what you are just doing. Instead of giving the right attention to their works, or what they are supposed to do, they just shift their best attention to the other things they are just doing.

They give much attention to the other things and less attention to their work or what they should be doing. The result of not giving a complete and concentrated attention to the major works or duties distract people from really chasing their dreams.

7.      7. Loss of faith or doubt: The problem of not having faith that one is going to achieve his or her dreams, or that the dreams they have can be attain is really a big block blocking them to move forward in chasing their dreams. When you have faith in yourself and in what you love to achieve, your body system respond to your faith and become lively and strong paving the way for the things to be done to be done. Faith boast people morale and increases their strength and energy and vitality and makes them bold to face the risks and to pay the price. The lack or loss of faith of people is blocking or preventing or pulling or drawing them backward from going after their dreams.

8.      8. Lack of wisdom: Wisdom according to an online English Dictionary, is an accumulated knowledge or erudition. It the quality of being wise; knowledge, and the capacity to make due use  of it; knowledge of the best ends and the best means; discernment and judgement; discretion; sagacity; skill; dexterity. It is the ability to apply knowledge or experience or understanding or common sense and insight. It is the trait of utilizing knowledge and experience with common sense and insight. It is the quality of being prudent and sensible.

Wisdom is the participation of man in the intelligence of God. It is the unfading glory of God in a person’s life. It is more than just having good common senses, educational intelligence, insight, applying knowledge and experiences, discretion, understanding, skill, sagacity, dexterity, knowledge of the best ends and the best means, discernment and good judgement.

It is often said that the fear of God is the beginning of wisdom. That is, no fear of God, no wisdom. And no wisdom, no success. Most people who fail to chase their dreams are doing so because of the lack of wisdom.

9.      9. They keep running away from the challenges or the difficulties: Most people want to chase their dreams most of the time. But the problem they are really facing the problem of evasion or dodging challenges or obstacle or difficulties. They are only comfortable with doing the simple and easy things or work. Any work or duty that seems difficult or hard they will dodge or evade it. Anything that challenges them or serve as a hurdle they will not accept it to be part of the things they would be doing. 

That is why most people love going round their problems instead of going through. The more people prefer to go round their problems rather than going through them, the more they fail to chase their dreams. The truth is that dreams are not tied to simple things but to both simple and difficult things.

This means that if you only pick or select or choose the simple works or duties, you cannot achieve your dreams. To achieve one’s dreams, one must do both the simple and difficult works or duties or responsibilities. You have no choice here. Just do them if you want your dreams to come true.

10. 10. They love self-pleasing even when it is not necessary: Self-pleasing means doing thing that you like, even when they are wrong. It may include not wanting to pay attention to work, doing only the things that make you happy, avoiding your responsibilities, pampering yourself unnecessary, procrastinate, give excuses, not wanting to kill yourself, indiscipline and lack of sacrifice. The list is endless.

Self-pleasing on the negative term are distractions in themselves. When you are always pleasing yourself the tendency to only do things that you want or like is very high. Then the things that you do not like but they also matters can be overlook because you do not like them.

There are things that will make you happy but will not contribute much in your quest to catch your dreams. In short, they will block your chances of wearing the crown. The more you are pleasing yourself, the more you will fail to catch your dreams.

11.  11. Laziness: Laziness is the inactivity due to dislike for work. When you are lazy, you will not be active. Activeness is a vital element of chasing and catching your dreams. If you are not active in doing the things that you should be doing, how can you be able to achieve your dreams? It is often said that the gods that favor the lazy man does not exist. We also heard that God help those who help themselves. So, if you just sit down folding your hands doing nothing you will achieve nothing. You can only catch your dreams when you are seriously active. Activeness is the key.

12.  12. Poor self-awareness: The knowledge of yourself is very crucial to your success. Self-awareness helps you to discover more about yourself in terms of knowing what you can do and what you cannot do. It helps you to analyze your conducts or behaviors as to determine how healthy or unhealthy they are or may be through filtering of those conducts. By so doing you can do away with those conducts that are inimical or unhealthy in your pursuit of your dreams.

Poor self-awareness is contributing to the problem of people who are failing to chase their dreams. Some people do not know that they are stronger than they think but self-awareness will help you to find out about this.

There are many people who think that they know themselves very well but the truth is they do not know much about themselves. If they do, they will not fail to chase their dreams. Because they do not know that is why they fail to chase their dreams.    

13.  13. Influence of self-defeating behaviors or actions or activities: There are behaviors, or actions that do go well with what you want to achieve. These actions or behaviors may be accepted by you to be normal but they affect your dreams negatively. When you are doing things which do not correspond to your dreams those things you are doing becomes self-defeating activities or actions.

On daily basis, most people are often influence by self-defeating activities. People waste their golden time on these activities or actions. That is why people are on the wrong path. They are busy doing the less important things that cannot bring out their dreams. The truth here is that self-defeating activities or actions or behaviors do make people happy and comfortable but yet, they cannot help you to get your dreams.

14.  14. The unwillingness to give in your best into every work, be it simple or difficult: As people go about doing their works, some of the works are simple while others are difficult. Whether the works are simple or difficult, one is expected to give in the best to get the best out of your works. The failure to give in the best is the problem most people are facing while chasing their dreams.

Some people are chasing their dreams but not in the right way or manner. When you are not chasing your dreams in the right or proper way, you are still failing to chase your dreams. To really chase and catch your dreams, one must give in the best into every work be it simple or difficult, and not some works.

15.  15. Poor attitude: Attitude is life. Attitude is the king. Your attitude determine your acceptability or rejection of false impossibilities. When you have a poor attitude to life, it will affect your ability to do certain things. Things you can do and do well will be taken as impossibilities when your attitude is a poor one. Most of the impossibilities are not impossibilities at all. Few things are impossible to diligence and skill.

But we imagine them to be impossible, and then by our attitude we render them so. In chasing our dreams, people attitude go a long way to help them to keep chasing or to quit. Impossibilities are created by our faulty imagination or poor mentality or mindset and by our poor or weak or soft attitude we okay or accept them. So, poor attitude is one of the reason why people fail to chase their dreams.

16.  16. Less or lesser ideals people uphold or look up to: Everyone in life have his or her own ideals or standards that he or she is looking up to or uphold. These ideals are created by people or the individual. Some of these ideals are low in their qualities while the other are higher in their qualities. Ideals are standards of behaviors that are aimed at or served as models for good behaviors. They are what you look up to.

According to Lecky the historian, the world is governed by its ideals. The individual person is also governed by his or her ideals. Higher ideals uplift mankind. The lesser or low ideals cannot uplift the people who practices them. The type of ideals accepted by people or an individual will help him or her to decide whether to do the right things or avoid doing the right things or to chase his or her dreams or not to follow his or her dreams and ambitions.

The type of ideals you cherished either pushes you forward or pulls you backward. The more low ideals people operate, the more they tend to or love to avoid doing the right things they should be doing. Low ideals take people out of the right path into the wrong path. So, people fail to chase their dreams because they uphold or look up to or practice lesser ideals.  

The above sixteen reasons are some of the reasons why most people are failing in chasing their dreams. Learn to stay on course.
