Reaching For Your Dreams

Everyone has things they want to accomplish in life. We never know how much time we have. We want to make most of the time we do have. Sometimes it feels like we won’t ever conquer everything we set our minds too and it discourages us from doing what we actually want to do. I think a lot of us are afraid to fail. We want to see success as soon as possible and when that doesn’t happen within the first few times we do it, we start to believe that we won’t ever reach that level of achievement. I know that feeling all to well. I can be hard on myself even if no one else sees it. I’ll try something once and if I don’t see positive results then I give up and not want to do it again. I feel like people have something that I don’t when it comes to being successful and I become envious that they are able to do things that I always wanted to do.

Let’s take my blog. I love my blog. I originally started a blog called One Goal, One Mission in 2009 and I thought that it would be something I could do for a living. I would blog, people would read and I’ll become a well-known writer, but after 11 years, I had to say good bye to that. I thought that having a blog would be something that I could take on the road and be able to write about everything that’s going on. I thought it would something that would help me reach my dreams of being a writer, but I feel discouraged because I never know whose reading. I never get any feedback. I don’t know if the hard work in promoting my blog is working. Do people just scroll past it or read one blog post and move it. I don’t know. With 10 years of writing a blog, I would at least hoped that I would have gotten get some results, but at the end of the day, I just got to keep trying. Writing makes me happy. Its a world I can get lost in. Its a place where I can express myself. I want to write for the rest of my life.

You can have as many dreams that you want. You can make your life as memorable as you want it to be. You just want to think about what you want your life to be remembered as. Do you want to look back on it and know that you lived it to the fullest and had no regrets or do you want to have a bunch of “what ifs”? I’m all for doing what you can to make your dreams come true. If your not happy with your current situation then take the time to do what makes you happy. There is nothing holding you back. No one is holding your dreams against you and telling you that their are worthless. Live your life the way you want. Live a life your proud of. Create a life that gets other people talking. Go for the gold and achieve those dreams no matter how big or small. If you brings you joy then what’s stopping you. Go out there and make it happen. Believe in yourself.
