daring to dream

Maybe we accept the dream has become a nightmare. We tell ourselves that reality is better. We convince ourselves it's better that we never dream at all. But, the strongest of us, the most determined of us, holds on to the dream or we find ourselves faced with a fresh dream we never considered. We wake to find ourselves, against all odds, feeling hopeful. And, if we're lucky, we realize in the face of everything, in the face of life the true dream is being able to dream at all.

Okay, the last couple of months have found me soul searching, learning, and being strong. I have many trials and many test. Some I have passed where others I have failed. With each one I have learned and I have grown or groan what have you. *GRINS* I thought at one point I had lost my dream, lost my goal. I thought I had lost everything I have been working for the last three years. I kept praying and hoping for the best and I knew that to wait on God. Because He would guide me in the direction I was to go.

You see some of the things I failed at was one being supportive and understanding to one person that deserves that from me. Many of times He has been my support and my rock when I needed it most. I failed at hiding my problems or concerns and not addressing them the way I should. Instead I threw accusations and harbored ill feelings towards many. I was angry and i needed to vent. I wanted to strike out and let someone other than me feel the way I did.

But I was able to pass alot more. Learing and growing from struggles and being scared. Finding the blessings in situations I would normally hate. I was able to stand tall and get threw something that I didnt think I could make it threw. I was able to look deep inside myself and find why I had been working towards a perticular dream. Have I got there? No but i am sure i will in the long run. I still want that dream It hasnt become a nightmare after all it is what I want that dream more now than ever. And that dream is perfect for me. You see, more than most I have a very bad habit of being opptomistic and persistant. Those are scary combinations. I will do anything to achieve my dreams and always see the postive in my dreams.

So for today I am simply saying dont be afraid to dream and I dare You to dream. You never know what you can achieve in the course of seeing yourself doing something great, or achieving something you have always longed for.


If you can imagine it you can create it. If you can dream it, you can become it.
