Dreaming Big

Hello, everyone!

I hope your weekend was fabulous and full of happiness. A few months ago I wrote a post on having dreams. It's still on my mind...

BT Advice: Dream big.

I was fortunate to grow up in a home where dreaming was encouraged. As a child, my parents told me that I could do anything if I really set my mind to it and was prepared to work hard for it. It's a crime for every child in this world not to receive the same. Every one of us should always always have a goal that we aspire to achieve no matter what age.

For the past few months, I have had this overwhelming urge to do something more than I am currently doing. I am not tired of teaching; I absolutely love it with every ounce of my being, but there is an aching inside of me to make a difference. I feel deep down in my heart my purpose in life is to help others. Each day this feeling consumes my thoughts. My brain is on constant overdrive trying to figure out how to do this and exactly what my channel for achieving this is. I just wish I knew what it was. Am I supposed to write? Am I supposed to travel around the country? I am supposed to start some group/organization? Or am I way off base? I am not sure, but I will find out. I won't be truly happy and content until I do.

I urge you all to dream big, too. All dreams and goals are different, so find something that fits you. Work tirelessly until you reach the finish line. If we are always content, we may never grow. Challenging ourselves is what makes us who we are. It takes strength, determination, discipline, and gumption to go after something that may result in failure or at the very least will be draining and challenging.

You've all heard it here first. I am going to fight for this elusive dream of mine. I want to be someone who makes a difference. I just have to. What about you?

Go do good things,

BT
