Am I dreaming too big?

Have you ever questioned your dreams? Telling yourself your dreams are way too big? That there's no way that you could accomplish what you've been dreaming of? That walking that path seems too impossible? And that even if you reached the top of that mountain, getting there seems way too scary?
--------------
Once or twice (or thrice, but who's counting), I've found myself dreaming so big, that I felt the need to talk myself down from that ledge. Almost to the point of kicking myself for aiming too high. Until recently. 
--------------
It’s only as of lately that I’ve been questioning why I even question myself: Why am I thinking this way? Why am I convincing myself to not dream? Why am I stopping myself from dreaming bigger? Then I finally asked myself...
--------------
Why am I, my own biggest barrier?
--------------
A wise person once told me, "The closer you get to your dreams, the scarier it gets."
--------------
So maybe it's just fear. But fear can be one of the biggest motivators. And if you use it the right way, channel it in the right direction, your dreams can stop being dreams; instead, they can become your best accomplishments. 
--------------
And as much as this blog post has asked a lot of questions, I hope that by doing so, it's provided a lot more answers. Or at the very least, ignited the process of you finding those answers for yourself.
