Dare To Dream BIG

I am inspired and encouraged as I write this blog tonight... A special friend reached out to me and reminded me that we all have a dream within us that we strive to accomplish each day. Have you ever had a dream that someone told you was to big? Have you ever wanted something so bad you would do anything to achieve it? I know I have....

So many times in life we work so hard to accomplish the dreams of our hearts. We spend countless hours stressing over the next step to make those dreams come true, but some people simply stop at the beginning because they are not sure where to start or because they fear they will never be good enough to accomplish anything great..

Harriet Tubman once said

"Every great dream begins with a dreamer. Always remember you have within you the strength, patience,and the passion to reach for the the stars to change the world"

I have been reminded tonight that no dream is to big or small for any one of us to achieve if we want it bad enough..I was told as a child "you can do anything you set your mind to" and for many years I believed those to be just empty words another adult was telling me to make me "feel better" about myself, but I'm learning more and more each day that those words have power and truth to them.

The dreams we have inside of us are simply passions in our life screaming to become free. Those dreams were placed within each one of us for a reason. We all have the ability to reach the stars and make those dreams come true. We all have the ability to become something great, but it starts with believing in yourself.

There will always be that one "sandpaper" person standing in your way telling you that your dream is crazy or unreachable, but as long as you look inside yourself, focus on your goal and work to make that dream come true nothing in this world can stand in your way. Dreams are part of what make you "who you are." Like I said in my last post the only failure in life is the failure to try.

I will be the first to admit I have sat and thought of every excuse to put off my dream to become an EMT and a great medical professional. I don't have enough money, I don't have enough time, Will my medical conditions hold me back, Am I strong enough? Do any of those excuses sound familiar?

I realized tonight that the only thing holding me back from my dream of becoming an EMT is myself. I am the queen of procrastination, but the longer I procrastinate and the more I "give up" the further away my dream is always going to be. Only I can make the greatest dreams of my life come true. I know that I have a passion for life and the ability to become something great, now it's up to me to make that happen.

What holds you back? What excuses are you making for yourself that keep you from accomplishing your most desired dreams and goals in life? What are you willing to do to make those dreams a reality, will you set them free and become everything you were created to be?

I encourage you to look inside yourself as I have myself tonight and do the things you need to accomplish the burning desires and greatest dreams of you heart. I know that I am on a new mission to set my dreams free and become the person I was created to be.
