please check my essay What does it mean to you to have a dream? Get and stay out of your comfort zone if you want to achieve your dream. I think it is a good advice, because if it is really what you want to have, you have to overcome all complex and difficulties. Focus in what you want to have happen. For example, I had not been learning English until 9 grade, so I knew some simple words like “family” , “ school” and “animals” and that is all. But in 9 grade we had to pass exams and I thought social science is easy for me, so I decided to choose English as exam only because it seemed impossible and hard. Sounds strange, yeah? So I think I can say it was my dream to pass this language. Well, a dream is just a dream. A goal is a dream with a plan and a deadline, so I had been studying a lot and trying not to give up, because my teachers always said me * you cant do it . Please choose another subject*. So I think when you're ready to quit, you’re closer than you imagine.. it was gripping experience of self-development. Also once I had a dream to be less shy, because it interfered me to feel myself free. And I started to stay out of my comfort zone. I was afraid to speak but I tried. I was afraid to say what I thought, but I forced myself. Too many of us are not living our dreams because we are living our fears. So we have to overcome all obstacles to achieve dream ( of course if it bears a nice promise and not threatened to others).
