Be lead by your dreams

Don’t be pushed by your problems, but be led by your God-given dreams.  Live the life God wants you to live.  Be the person you want to remember years from now.  Make decisions and act on them.  Make mistakes, fall and try again.  Even if you fall a thousand times, at least you won’t have to wonder what could have been.  At least you will know in your heart that you gave your dreams your best shot by faith.

Each of us has a fire in our hearts burning for something.  It’s our responsibility in life to find it and keep it lit.  This is your life, and it’s a short one.  Don’t let others extinguish your flame.  Try what God wants you to try.  Go where God wants you to go.  Follow your own intuition.  Dream with your eyes open until you know exactly what it looks like.  Then do at least one thing every day to make it a reality.

As you strive to achieve your goals, you can count on there being some fairly substantial disappointments along the way.  Don’t get discouraged, because he road to your dreams may not be an easy one.  Think of these disappointments as challenges, tests of persistence, and courage.  At the end of the road, more often than not, we regret what we didn’t do far more than what we did.

2 Timothy 4:7 "I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith..."
