Be willing to lay hold of your dreams – Pursue it with all of your Heart!
Do you remember when you were a child and no dream seemed too big? Every one of us, when we were young, had a common trait – we were dreamers. The world hadn’t gotten to us yet to show us that we couldn’t possibly achieve what our hearts longed for. Eventually we began to let our dreams fade. Negative people eagerly told us that we couldn’t accomplish the things we wanted. It would be foolish, they said. I believe every one of us is born with unique gifts and talents, but instead, over the years we work very hard to become like everyone else.
Well, I say reject that thinking. It is time to dream again! Listen to that “little voice” inside you, it will guide you to your right path. Because one thing is certain, someday we will all lie on our deathbed looking back through the history of our lives. We will undoubtedly think about what we wished we had done or accomplished. I for one don’t want to regret what could have been, what should have been. So I decided to pursue my dreams, no matter the sacrifice, no matter the costs, and so should you.
Why? Because dreamers chart their own course and destiny. Dreamers are always striving to be the person they were meant to be and are not afraid to be different. It takes courage to be a dreamer, and challenge society’s norms. It takes courage to tread your own path rather than following the roads-well-traveled. It takes courage to be willing to take a chance, to march to your own drum beat, or swim upstream, while others take the safe course.
Yes, following your dreams takes an abundance of patience — it’s a process.
Success comes at a price. Get-rich-quick and easy success schemes don’t last. There are no free rides, you have to do the hard work and heavy lifting. Be the best you can be everyday, and in time, your gifts will make room for you. But, as a Dreamer, you are a world changer. Purpose to make the world a better place. All of the great accomplishments that have ever happened began with a person who had a dream.
So, set aside some time today to rekindle your dreams. Develop a step-by-step plan, a time line, action steps, and resources you will need. Dream big! Follow your action plan and set your sights for the top of the mountain! You will be grateful you did!
