"Extraordinary women decide to hold onto and live their dreams regardless of their circumstances"
When I was a little girl I dreamed of being so many things. My earliest memory of what I dreamed of becoming was what my grandpa called a "super singing beauty star". As I got older, my dreams changed and continued to change. As I think about "what I want to be" many things come to mind, but one things has always stayed same. I have always longed to be a mother and a wife. I want to nurture and take care of someone else and to simply love with all my heart. This dream has never changed and I still want this today. My dream has half-way come true. I am in love with the man of my dreams and we are happy! I know that he is the one that will be the father to my children and I certainly love him with all of my heart. One day, I will get to experience the other part of my dream. I can't wait for that day, but I know that God has His plans in store for us.
I have other dreams...ones that wouldn't be detrimental to myself if I didn't reach them. However, they are still dreams and I'm not sure why I haven't set out to reach them yet. Fear? Maybe so. A big dream of mine is to become an Event Planner. Weddings, parties, or any type of celebration. I think the only obstacle in my way is myself. I need to realize that God is in control and He will lead me where I need to go. I am choosing today that I can hold onto my dream, live it out, regardless of my circumstances!

Love this. I understand where you are coming from. There are so many dreams that I could be making progress toward, if I would even take the first step, or the day to day little steps required to get there. Sometimes it is hard to take the dream, the goal, and break it down into its pieces and take the steps necessary.
ReplyDeleteJust recently I have started on the way to a couple of my dreams, yet many remain unreached and un-attempted. I hope you choose to go for it with the event planning. I love my job (even on the days I hate it...) and I think everyone should find a way to turn their passion into their job.
