dreaming

You watch from the sidelines and see other people's dreams coming true.  They make it look so easy.  Things seem to fall in place.  They are living the life you wish you could be living.  You stand on the sidelines pouting.  

But here is the thing.  You can be living the life of your dreams.  For others it did not just fall into their hands.  It took work, dedication, and lots of time.  They had a vision and went for it.  When they got knocked down they didn't give up.  They kept putting one foot in front of the other, ebbing and flowing with the changing tide.  You can do this to.  

You can achieve your dreams.

You just need to show up day after day.  Take the risk.  Listen to the voice of your own heart, for it will guide where you want to go.  There are no short cuts.  There isn't a special pill you can take.  You have to put in the work.  There will be sweat and tears but it will be worth it in the end.  

Do not let others control your destiny.  Do not give them the power to drag you down.  This is YOUR one wild and precious life.  Live it to the fullest going after what moves you.  There is no reason to be stagnant.  There is no reason not to dream.  Anything is possible when we put our minds to it.  

What is it you dream of?  Where do you want to go?  What is it you want to be doing?  

Reach for your dreams.  Take one small step towards them today and then keep that rhythm in motion.  Step by step you will get there.  Yes, you will.
