Following Your Dreams

In my first post I'd to discuss the importance of dreams. Dreams are what keep us alive, they give us something to live for, to strive for, and stars to reach for. Your dreams come from your soul, they sprout from your gifts and talents, they ignite a fire within you that can only be quenched by the realization and follow through of that dream... actually dreams are never complete that just get bigger, they take on a life of their own and offer fulfillment to your soul. Dreams are important; and often we allow others, circumstances and life's pitfalls to deter us from pursuing our dreams. We allow the dreams of others take precedence over our own (especially women) we put our dreams on hold for our children, our families, and our significant other. I've recently realized that I had become one of those people, but had not realized that my current situation was causing me to put my dreams on the back burner. That I had become more consumed with pushing someone else to pursue their dreams while mine suffered. I realized that I had taken off my hat as an ambitious business owner and put on the hat of a personal coach for someone else, when in actuality I needed the coaching. My ambition had dwindled, I was no longer creating, filling orders, or studying my craft, my business who had not yet solidified itself anyway was hanging on by a string. The situation was draining me not only emotionally but physically as well, I didn't have the strength to stand at my desk something at one point I lived for, I felt I was dying inside. I've been depressed and for the longest I couldn't figure out why but I had abandoned my dream.  I felt that I had lost apart of my soul, so I took a day.... an entire day to ask myself.. "what the hell are you doing C, what happened?" and I had to be honest, I had allowed myself to be distracted and consumed with things that were not important that did not contribute to my dream or the life i want for myself. There are so many things that help us pursue our dreams, besides ambition and practicing your craft, prioritizing is probably one of the most important. I think for a lot of people that can be difficult because we don't want to be labeled as selfish or inaccessible by others. We however, must realize that others will leave you when your dreams will sustain you. Corny, I know, but its true. Have you ever watched a person attempting to live out his/her dream? It truly is an inspiring act we often label these people as "crazy"; when in actuality it is us that are crazy, just because something is not attainable for you or that you are too afraid to pursue a dream, that doesn't make the next man or woman who is bold enough to do so nuts. It's really inspiring, these people never stop these people eat, breath, and live for manifesting their passion. They wake up thinking a

bout it, go to bed thinking about it, they're in the shower thinking of it, they meditate on it, pray about it. The dream for them is all consuming, it's like being in love with a part of you that you are trying so desperately to manifest. That feeling had gone from me and I am determined to get my true love back. I'd like to challenge all who are reading this to do the same, to fall in love again with your dreams. Some may say that they dont know what that is... your dream is that one thing that no matter what will always bring you solitude, that you would do for free even if no one paid you, your dream brings you joy and it can be so big it scares you, but thats how you know it's real. Again I challenge you all to fall in love with a part of yourself again, no matter how long it takes or how foolish you feel to take hold of your dream once again, or find your dream and never let go.
Thanks for reading,
