I tend to dream big alot and i tend to want thing sinstantly with this age of tech and it can be annoying at times. i even reaserch thing sbut never do them i wonder if ther eis a way to dream small and what might that look like?

like i want to start a youtube channel with my low-end pc and my fmaily says it dosent hurt to try but im not sure, i want to do gaming but everyone does gaming and im very limited with my pc, etc i could go on but i wont.

my interst will probrably change to something tommorow which is annoying.

I'll give a bit of a different view. I don't think it's always a great thing to dream big. In fact I think it can be harmful to us at times. It's not just about struggling to break things down into smaller parts or finding the time. Some things just can't/won't be done successfully for all kinds of reasons.

Big dreams often need cooperation with others, resources beyond our means, etc. Breaking things down into smaller parts won't make these issues easier. If we could all raise millions for our business ideas, for example, we would. Some photos try and try and try to chase their dreams and goals for years, and never succeed or even get close.

Dreaming big isn't bad, but keeping your expectations grounded to reality is an unfortunate necessity for your own well-being.
