A Carton of MilkThe inspiration for this article came after reading a very interesting email that I recently received from a good friend. She knew this would be right up my alley and why I am so excited to share this with you. This is a true story that is flavoured with intrigue, sadness and a life lesson for us all.
HOW TO DREAM BIG
Dreaming big, is something we do most when we are children. Yet, when we hit the teen-aged years, our dreams have gotten so beat up that we start to ‘Dream Safely’ or not at all.
For me, growing up in the inner city with teen-aged parents, I was counted out before I even started. In order to persevere, I had to have a spirit for survival in order to catapult me to the person I am today. Most people, who knew me, would meet me and never grasp the struggles I had growing up. Truly, I didn’t grasp them because I always saw the glass as half full, yet it could get empty if I didn’t hustle to make something happen.
Who is making your rules? The life that you are leading…who is telling you what you should and should not be doing as you move along the road of life? Is it you? If so, and if you are not happy with where you are, then you have no one else to blame but yourself for the unsatisfied feelings you have. If it is not you, then the questions becomes why are you giving others the right to dictate how YOUR life moves along?
These past few days I have spent taking some much required ‘me time’ and staying a bit under the radar….translation: I was so exhausted this weekend I didn’t even leave my house.
