The Price of a Dream: My Biggest Mistake Was Ignorance in Action

I’ve spent years dreaming.

Dreaming about earning ₹1,00,000 per month.

Dreaming about living fearlessly.

Dreaming about building a life which includes freedom, impact, and meaningfull.

I planned lot.

Watched right YouTube videos like Sandeep Maheshwari, naval ravikant and Robert kiyosaki etc.              I read their books and books their recommended books.

Followed by most successful authors and creators.

The best part? I actually know what to do.

I know the “right mindset,” the habits, the strategies.

I know what works and what doesn’t.

But here’s the bitter truth I faced today:

> I never submitted those actions in real life.

And because of that, I’m still here—stuck.

Not rich. Not free.

Just aware. And honestly, awareness without action is a curse.

It hurts even more when I see people around me making lots of money like Manoj dey, Sourabh Joshi.

I think they don't even understand how money works.

They don’t know about supply and demand, the history of money,

authenticity, accountability, or the concept of leverage.

Yet—they're doing it.

Why?                                                                                                                                                               Because they acted.

They submitted their actions to the real world.

I didn’t.

I realize now that my number one mistake wasn’t just ignorance—it was ignorance in action.

I only wrote what I wanted.

But I never wrote down what it was worth wanting.

I never asked,

“What price am I willing to pay for this dream?”

Because every dream has a cost.

Discipline. Consistency. Discomfort.

The price is not just time, energy, or money—

I know Manoj dey Saurabh Joshi are spent years on making good videos but they doesn't succeed in one or two year. They submit 10 year in one profession and now their actions are compounded. they submitted the hard, boring, or scary thinks in publicly.                                                                                             So here I am, writing this down not to feel regret, but to remind myself—and maybe you too:

> Knowing isn’t enough. Planning isn’t enough. Even dreaming isn’t enough.

Only doing bridges the gap.

I’ve spent too long knowing.

It’s time to start becoming.
