I was prompted to write this post after reading Marian's {Miss Mustard Seed} blog post last week, "There I Said It." Her post was a good reminder to me that sometimes it's invigorating to put yourself out there by voicing your dreams. I think many people are afraid to dream, and even more people are afraid to voice those dreams out loud or to write them down.
Most times, I don't like telling people my dreams because I fear they will discourage me {maybe that's because people have done that before}. However, there is something to be said about putting your dreams out there. It's motivating, and puts a healthy pressure on accomplishing them.
So, here goes
My dream is to...
...be a stay at home mom.
...be the best assistant for my hubby as he runs our business.
...help people {through different charities & one-on-one counseling}.
...design our beachfront dream home.
...have our dream home featured in a magazine.
...write a book.
There, I said it. I have a lot of work to do before I can be the person that I want to be or do many of those things. I realize that success is not given, it is earned. I don't want to be that person that coasts through life waiting for their next handout. I do not want to have a "woe is me" attitude. I want to accept that my life is just as "fair" as the next person's life, and that if I want to get better, then I have to get back up when life knocks me down. I need to realize that God brings people into my life to help me change and grow {and sometimes that's the only reason!}.
On the surface, it might not look like I'm going after these things. But if you don't hear from me as often on here, just know that I've probably got my nose burried in a book {I'm currently reading Finding the Hero in Your Husband by Dr Julianna Slattery and it's so convincting and empowering} or I'm listening to an inspirational speaker, or out there making it happen. I can't become the person God wants me to be if I continue to be the same person that I am.
My daily thoughts have a huge affect on my future! I want to learn from my past, but not dwell in the past. I want to learn from my mistakes, but I don't want to let my mistakes define me.
This blog might be a hodgepodge mess sometimes, but this is our life. I hope you stick around to share in the experiences and witness our dreams becoming a reality. And I hope that we inspire you to go out there and make your dreams comes true as well.
