Do you feel pressure in embracing a dream that may or may not be on your heart?
I’ve been working with Kingdom Dreams for the past four months now. We take people’s dreams and empower them to get going. We propel them forward. We are the wind in their sails.
I’ve noticed…
Some people are afraid to identify a desire they have as their dream.
I noticed myself doing it. I thought that by doing this I was boxing myself in – saying that this is my calling in life. It seemed premature. Like I need to have a doctorate or something to be able to say I know my dream at 26 years young. I think this is a narrow view.
Most people don’t just all of a sudden have a dream. They usually happen across them by failure or happenstance. By trying at something and then something else. This something else wasn’t their life calling, but that didn’t matter. They went for it and realized that their dream was something bigger, better and more effective. They tried something they wanted to do.
To have one dream is to limit yourself. You probably have a great many dreams that build upon each other. Seasonal dreams. And most of these dreams you will probably fail at. But you’ll get better. You’ll improve because you’re smart and you’re an overcomer. You’ll become well acquainted to resistance and learn to push through it. And in the process you’ll refine your approach, identify your strengths and build a great portfolio of stories!
Don’t be afraid to call something your dream and embrace it. It may not be your life’s dream, but who knows? Maybe it will lead that way. You won’t know if you don’t try.
A challenge: Call something small your dream and pursue it. You may need to do this 10 times before you find out what you really enjoy. But it’s a great way to find out.
Anything that’s worth doing is worth doing poorly. –Joachim DePosada
