Think BIG!

It’s time to let go of the nay-saying, skeptical, and sometimes cruel comments people have spoken to you about your dreams and aspirations. While achieving my own dreams, I’ve learned that (1) words are VERY powerful - they can make or break an individual and their dreams; (2) dreams are precious- they don’t come easy, but are almost ALWAYS possible! I have recently been surrounded by some very encouraging and successful people who have been thinking and dreaming big on my behalf, while also sharing their advice on how I can make my latest dreams and ideas a reality. And wow, let me tell you, when you are surrounded by someone who not only supports your ideas, but gets really excited about them for you, and inspires you to take them even FURTHER… that’s someone to keep around!

I encourage you from today onward, to ponder on what your purpose is, and then, DREAM BIG, without boundaries, and pursue them relentlessly. If you already know what your calling or purpose is, be discerning about who you share it with. You want to share your idea(s) with people who will encourage and back you, be your cheerleader and mentor, and who will be there when you hit turbulence, set-backs, or even failures along the way. Do not go to people that will slam the breaks on your idea before it even takes flight. These individuals will derail you from your purpose, whether it be due to their own failures, regrets, and/or jealousy. You need to know yourself and know your purpose, so that when unwarranted (and potentially harmful) advice is given, you will have the confidence to let it go. So, hold TIGHT to the morsels of truth, because they are what will carry you past the finish line of those BIG dreams you are destined to fulfill!

“May he give you the desires of your heart and make all your plans succeed.”
