All of us have dreams. All of us wish we could be someone we aren’t today.
Just like poor little Pinocchio, wishing he was a “real boy”. The question is; will a star grant our dreams? From what I have learned I think that if you wait for your dreams to come true on their own, it will be a long wait. On the other hand if you take charge and make things happen for yourself, it can go very quickly. In order to make your dreams come true you have to set goals for yourself, whether it be short term or long term, prioritizing your life is a great way to jump start that dream your chasing. Make sure you focus on your goal. Don’t let yourself be distracted by opportunities that pull you away from your dream, even if it seems too good to say no to, if it isn’t your dream it is not worth doing. Unless of course the offer is of the magnitude that it completely changes your dreams!
Things will not go as you hope, you will have setbacks and you might even notice that what you want now isn’t the same as what you wanted only a few months ago. That is okay!
Be ready to change, adapt and grow as a person and let your dreams grow as well.
When you’re worried about something, your thoughts start chasing each other round your head and don’t let up. You run the same scenarios through over and over, as if practicing them would make them turn out right. Sometimes they’re in the past, sometimes in the future, but in either case – worrying about them isn’t going to fix anything. It’s just going to keep your thoughts in a groove they can’t get out of, upset you, keep you awake at night, and limit your creative response to the situation, and distract you from your goals in life.
This was me last night, even tho I walk around with a smile on my face everyday some of the things I have going on in my life, keep me from thinking clearly and I get to feeling like my goals I want accomplished aren't going to happen. I get discouraged as a parent sometimes thinking am I doing a good enough job? am I too hard on my boys? do they have enough in life to make them happy? and even tho I laid in the bed thinking about all the negative things, I turned around and starting thinking about the positive things, I am in my boys life 100% of the time, I work extremely hard to make sure they won't see any kind of struggle, One thing I know is that a negative thought process will weigh you down and take a toll on you. I have said this before and I will say it again "Although you cannot control many things in this world, and especially other people, one important factor of happiness is accepting that which you cannot change. What you can change however, is how you feel. Even if things are bad, you can still be happy, you can still choose to smile, and you can still choose to see it as a test that you have to get through in order for things to get better."
Your time is limited, so don't waste it living someone else's life. Don't be trapped by dogma - which is living with the results of other people's thinking. Don't let the noise of other's opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary.
Til next time
