Lost Dreams. Abandoned Dreams. Forgotten Dreams. Forsaken Dreams ~ any of those phrases conjure up some feeling in you? Lately, it seems that I meet more and more women who tell me they’ve forgotten what their dreams are. They’ve forgotten how to dream for themselves. …in fact, they don’t know how to dream for themselves anymore. Can you relate? I can [sigh]
It seems that amidst the busyness of life, child rearing, family time, work, and a multitude of other commitments, we have forgotten how to dream. We have forgotten to make time to dream. We’ve begun to doubt our dreams, ourselves, and the beauty of believing in our dreams. We’ve somehow traded in our dreams for things like fear, doubt, and disbelief (aka – lack of faith.)
This is a problem! You’re never too old (or too busy) to dream. And in all honesty, I think you’re robbing yourself of all the goodness that goes along with dreaming. Dreams require faith, prayer, hope, conviction, action, perseverance, and passion. Wouldn’t life be a little more adventurous and gratifying if we lived with more of those characteristics every day? Imagine days FILLED with hope, love, faith, prayer, passion action, conviction and perseverance – sounds powerful to me!!!
So, let me beg the question: where did your dreams go? Where did you leave your dreams? And what might you have traded them in for?
For the next two weeks – we’re talking about dreams. YOUR dreams.
