I grew up wanting to be Pocahontas. That didn’t really work out too well. I never liked camping or fishing nor was the fashion of feather extensions ever for me as well. So a doctor it was. Sadly that didn’t go all too well either. I never liked blood ~ the sight or odor. That rubber gloves + metal pungent smell never agreed with me. In between all the trial and errors trying to figure out what I wanted to be, I’d find myself sketching. Dresses, shirts, people etc. Fashion it was. But I took courses in biology anyway. Adding to that ,more courses in science ~statistics even. (I know right?) But it was always Fashion. That love never went anywhere. It was patient. Patiently waiting for me to accept it with open arms, take it in and work with it. It was to be my happy place. Through all the labs, the chem experiments, the calculations, it was always there. The only thing left for me to do was pursue what I was made to do.
Never surrender your hopes and dreams to the fateful limitations others have placed on their own lives and want for yours. Don’t waste your talent. Whatever it is ~ a writer, a banker, a dentist, a designer, go after it. The vision of your true destiny does not reside within the blinkered outlook of the naysayers. Judge not by their words, but accept advice based on the evidence of actual results. The heart and what its passions are, has reasons that the mind will never understand. Friends and family who suffer the lack of abundance, joy, love, fulfillment and prosperity in their own lives really have no business imposing their self-limiting beliefs on your reality experience. Whatever it is you want to be, go and be it. By doing what you love, you will inspire and awaken the heart of others. You were born awaken your dream and make it a reality. Now go after it. I’m glad I went after mine.
Something different for the mid-week.
