Hello, Everyone! Sorry to be late with my post this week (I
feel like I start every post like this). So much has been going on lately. I
have so much to write about on my new blog but wanted to start here first. This
week they kind of speak to one another. This week I’ve decided to talk about
making your dreams into realities.
When I grow up I want to: Become a lawyer. Become a surgeon.
Join the Army. Be a teacher. Become a flight attendant. Go to space. Work in
the entertainment industry. Travel the world.
Those are things that at one time or another I wanted to do,
things I found myself dreaming of constantly. Some of them I will probably not
make into a reality, but they’ll always be important to me. Others I have taken
steps toward in some ways.
Just recently, a fire was ignited inside of me reminding of
an old dream. And so were the fears that stopped me from ever pursuing it in the
first place. The difference is now I have a tad more life experience to combat
those fears! Do not ever let fear stop you from wanting to do something. If you
have a dream, and it is important to you, then reach for it! Do whatever needs
to be done to try and make your dreams into realities. You may not succeed, but
you won’t have any regrets about not having tried! I interviewed (with the same
airline) twice to become a flight attendant. I put every ounce of hope into,
and I was not selected either time. But I tried, and I might try sometime in
the future. While I haven’t traveled the world, I have traveled. I’ve been to
and lived in many parts of the United States and have been able to visit
amazing places. I never wanted to be the person who never left their
hometown/state. I’ve known since I was young that I wanted to go out and see
the world. So, while I’m no neurosurgeon or astronaut, I am following some of
my dreams.
Never let fear control you. You should be scared. “If you aren’t
scared, you aren’t paying attention” – Dr. Miranda Bailey. But don’t let it
hold you back! Stop telling yourself you can’t do things because you are: too
old, don’t have enough money, have too many responsibilities etc. When it comes
to going for your dream, only you are stopping yourself! If money is an issue (I
know it can be for many dreams) start saving! Skip Starbucks once a week! Throw
your change in a jar! Everything is possible if you are willing to work for it.
Dozens of successful people had to fail hundreds of times
before claiming their glory. Some people have reached their dreams in their youth
while some much later in life. Never stop chasing your dreams.
“It can be hard
It can be so hard
But you gotta live
right now
You got everything to
give right now”
