People ask why is a child is unafraid? The simply answer is no one told the child to be afraid. No one or thing has had the chance to shut their spirit down; to tell them you can’t do that or that’s impossible. To limit their imaginations to a box with walls, because of what they might look like or how they scored on an old age test.
The question I’d really like to know is why are so many adults afraid?
“Afraid of what?” is what I’d like to know? What people will think? What someone might say? I’m here to tell you that on average 1 person out of the 10 people that show up for a funeral might cry but, yet people worry what the world might think of them. So what’s stopping people from dreaming?
Leaders dream, they set the stage for us all.
Do you think Dr. Martin Luther King cared what people thought? No, he was too busy living his dream. Even after he was gone his dream transferred to millions which eventually became reality. Why might you ask was he able to do this?
Because of his spirit; it wasn’t going to take anything less. He wasn’t afraid of what people might think, do, or say behind his back. He followed his dream and in doing so he changed history. History is what happened today, the future is what happens after you are done reading this. Make a conscious effort to follow your dreams. Become that child again and dream; don’t let others steal your dreams because they will.
Now take a moment for yourself; ask the question, “Am I moving closer or farther away from my dreams at this very second in time?” Only you will know this answer.
Don’t put this off until later because later might never come. Life doesn’t come with a 30 day money back guarantee. Life is a gift and there are no promises; you only get one shot. Soon we all will become history but, our dreams will live forever. Clocks ticking; start dreaming again, it’s your decision, yours only.
The mind is a beautiful thing let it free.
What is your dream? I’d like to share mine if it’s ok: To mentor people to achieve their dreams because that fulfills and drives me. I’m doing it right now by you reading this so please allow me the opportunity to help you dream or leave a note below if you’re now on your way.
