I’m guessing you haven’t fulfilled all of your dreams. But I’m also guessing you have probably let go of several dreams. Dreams can feel impossible, but I’d like to request that you never stop believing in your dreams. With the death of your dreams comes a fading of your inner light. Not to mention that giving up on your dreams is nothing more than an excuse to take the easy road (even if it comes at the cost of a less fulfilled life).

No one can say, “It could never happen for me,” because that has been proven wrong over and over again. If Wayne Dyer had accepted that he was an orphan and that he was therefore never going to have much of anything, do you think he would be the influential author he is today? If Oprah had decided that since she was a black woman who came from very limited means that she wouldn’t be able to accomplish her dreams, do you think she would have changed the world like she has? Talk about people who could have easily had excuses to not try so hard!

Everyday, people make choices. Some of them decide to let the odds against them keep them where they are, and some of them decide that it doesn’t matter and they are going to accomplish their dreams no matter what. It’s not that the people who accomplish their dreams have it easy or that they are “the chosen ones” – they simply made a choice to keep believing and to keep moving in the direction of their dreams.

What excuse are you using today to give up on your dreams?
