What is life without a Dream? In life, like everyone, we search for answers of whom and what we are, and why are we here.  Some of us have talents of dancing, singing, writing, or sculpting. Others have simple talents of listening, or inspiring. However, what is your dream? And what is your life without it?

In growing older, I have realized that you can not survive in your own skin without purpose. Have you ever wondered what is that restless feeling you have in your marriage, or what is that nudge in your spirit? That, my friend, is your purpose calling you, whispering to you to remember your dream. We sometimes take our lives and become hopeless because of what was or what could have been.  We often times let something simple as age, handicap us, or life altering mistakes cripple us mentally.  Because to think you are, is to know you are! If you think you are too old to follow your goals, then you are.  If you think you are too fat, to ugly, to settled, or whatever, to follow YOUR dreams then, you are. Your mind is the center of your being, because the body can not function without it.  So to dream is exercise for the brain that brings about results.

Purpose

I have asked this question since the day I could remember. What is my purpose? And I recently began to equate purpose with my dream in life.  We are all beings of the Creator and we are all connected, so our talents are given to us to aid in something. Let's take Oprah for example. She has the talent to inspire people. Through her many gifts, she has been able to financially, and many times emotionally, bless others. And it all started with her having a dream, which resulted in what she deems as her purpose.

Taking Back Your Dreams

It is not about the can'ts in life. It is about the wills and cans. You may have missed an opportunity for a desired goal, but guess what? Life is a revolving door.  Hell, even bell bottoms came back, so why can't a second chance do the same. With age comes wisdom, so if you’ve missed your opportunities the first go round, you are wiser this season. Take back your dreams.  Make them happen for you.  Everything in your life is a state of your mind. Begin to create your destiny in your mind and make your dreams come true. Make a plan, write it out, see the beginning and the end.  Become YOUR destiny. Because you only get one life, so why not, achieve your goals in this one. No matter your age, your size, your finances, your emotional or physical circumstance, it does not take much to dream, all you need is a pin, a pad, and a mind, and the rest will fall into place.  The bible states, "A man has a dream and God orders his steps." so dream and let your steps be guided.
