Do you know what it takes to achieve everything you’ve ever wanted in life?
It takes hard work, dedication, and faith. You can not simply talk about your dreams, you have to chase them. You have to push through the unbelief and discouragement that you face. Even the unbelief and discouragement of others.
It is not an easy thing to be a dreamer, nor is it glamorous. Sure, it may seem cool from the outside, to the people that are watching you chase your dreams. You’ll hear things like, “You’re so courageous,” or “I wish I had your strength,” or my personal favorite, “I could never do what you do.” Really?
You absolutely could! Because for me, it has been difficult to say the least and it isn’t something that just magically appears out of thin air. It’s something I have to fight for every day. Our culture is so hype about the platform, and the spotlight, and the likes on social media but don’t understand what it takes to make actual dreams become reality.
It’s the day to day discipline of putting your hand to the plow and sharpening your gift, your talent. It’s the step by step placement of your passion towards your goals on days you don’t “feel” like it. It’s choosing to believe when no one else does, and it’s the mundane where miracles are made.
Also, be encouraged today if you are chasing something that seems too far away. Turn around and look at how far you’ve already come.
You’re closer than you think!
Much love,
