With God all things are possible. Today my friend got her dream job. She'd tried for eight years before finally getting her YES. It's funny how timing is everything. In her own words, "Last week was a very difficult week. It was weighing down heavy on me, I
felt little and small, I felt completely defeated. But then yesterday
was the day I thought would only come to me in my dreams, had an
actually physical manifestation. Its taken 8 years to fulfill this
dream, I never gave up!! I kept trying and trying regardless of the
numerous amount of rejections I had previously, I never lost sight of my
dream. I no longer feel small, I no longer feel defeated. I feel like I
can accomplish anything!! I am just so amazed at the care and details
that God articulated in our lives. I don't know why the timing is so
perfect right now, but I just know it is!! And I'm so humbled to sit
back and take in the reality! I know my prayers have been answered and
my heart ache will never be again!! "No matter how your heart is grieving, if you keep on believing, the dream that you wish will come true!"'
This inspired me to take inventory of my dreams. I was really thinking about this a few short months ago after attending Time Out For Women and listening to Whitney Johnson, a Wall Street guru and venture capitalist who wrote a book called Dare, Dream, Do, encouraging women to dare to dream and do something about their dreams. I loved the book and highlighted it all up.
I've always been pretty good to myself in regards to believing in my dreams and doing something about them. My dream was once to write a book. I did it and self-published it and was even able to get it featured on the Dr. Laura Show back in the day (five years ago) when her show was the #4 most listened to in the USA. That was a big deal for me and felt amazing to accomplish. But I've got that one checked off my list and am not dreaming of writing books right now. So what's my new dream...?
Something I've always wanted to do is be motivational speaker/singer. I've already dabbled in this a little bit, but I'd like more chances to talk to small to large groups about life experiences and lessons and share with people my fire for setting goals, overcoming challenges in life, and staying strong in hard times. It's not something I want to do to get rich, it's just something I enjoy that really fulfills me.
