Remember when we kids and our dreams were bigger than life; there was absolutely nothing we couldn't do. We could be the president, a fireman, a lawyer, a pilot etc.....
We never stopped to consider any reason why we couldn't be or do anything we could dream.
Life had no limits, no stipulations; the bottom line is we believed in ourselves.
What Happened? Did people stop dreaming or stop believing?
I believe the dreams are still there but we have let our (false) self-limiting beliefs get in our way and hold us back from what we were born to do.
I am sick and tired of looking in people’s eyes and seeing the "I Gave up" look, so life threw you a curve ball, it set some road blocks in your way, somebody did you wrong, somebody is still doing you wrong. Maybe you made some mistakes or bad decisions and now you are in a place you really don’t want to be……SO WHAT!
Forgive those who hurt you and forgive yourself for the mistakes you made and get up, it’s really nothing more than a decision, it may be a decision you have to make on a daily basis but make it and move on.
Don’t look to anybody else, all you need is within you, reach down, grab your own boot straps and pull yourself up. Stop making excuses as to why you are where you are and start making a plan to get what you want. A plan to become the person you want to be, the person you were meant to be. Stop looking back, it’s impossible to go forward with your eyes focused on what’s behind you. There is still life out there, there’s still time to be all you want to be, and it’s never too late to be you. But in order to get up we have to look within ourselves and find who we really are, so many times people lose themselves trying to survive life. Stop surviving and start creating, get back in touch with your inner child, back in touch with what it is you really want then go get it.
I don’t believe we were put here on earth to just exist, to just survive. Is that really all there is to life?
I do believe we were all created with a purpose. Benny Morris says, "God will not give you a purpose without giving you an equal amount of potential".
Our dreams are directly tied to our purpose. Dreams are not just some made up fantasy of things we can’t accomplish. They are the very core of who we are, the reason we breathe, the reason we were put on this earth, they are who we are. I think it's time we get back to dreaming and believing in ourselves.
We have it within ourselves to accomplish anything we set our minds to; if we can dream it we can be it. We are so much more powerful than we believe; the bible says we were created in God’s own image. That means he gave us everything we need to be true to ourselves. Once we understand that we can control everything about us including our mental state of mind and our attitude then and only then can we start to tap into the power that we were created with and start to become the unique man or woman we were created to be.
Napolean Hill said, "Man alone has the power to transform his thoughts into physical reality, Man alone can dream and make his dreams come true."
Keep your heart open to dreams, for as long as there are dreams there is hope, as long as there is hope there is joy in living.
Let’s be kids again, let’s start dreaming again but most of all let’s start believing in ourselves again.
Only those who dare to dream can make a dream come true.I dare you….Dare to Dream…….Again
