10 questions to ask before letting go of a dream.

1 min readMar 14, 2025

Is my dream my own, or is it what someone else dreams for me?
Is my dream something I want, or something I need for my internal function?
Is my dream worth sacrificing my independence?
What is the price and what is the value of my dream?
Will I regret not following my dream if I decide to let it go due to my circumstances?
Do my circumstances dictate my mindset in terms of my dream?
Do I see my failures as opportunities to evolve into success, or do I see them as an ending point and a sign to let go of my dream?
Am I letting my dream go because I lack self-belief or self-awareness?
Does my dream need to be let go in order to evolve, or can it be adjusted to a more realistic standard so I can hold on to it?
Once I let my dream go, do I have perspective on the bigger picture in reality?
