DAY NINE | DREAMER

"Walk with the dreamers, the believers, the courageous, the cheerful, the planners, the doers, the successful people with their heads in the clouds and their feet on the ground. Let their spirit ignite a fire within you to leave this world better than when you found it." -Wilferd Peterson

More often than not, I have my head stuck in the clouds. I have big dreams. Most times I feel they are so big, I will never be able to even touch them. Some are within the grasp of my fingertips. These dreams seem to push me into always wanting to be better. A better person, a better business woman, daughter, mother, friend, lover . There are times my heart yearns for things. I want it so much it hurts. How will I ever get there? Is this something I will ever accomplish in my lifetime? I know it’s possible, I just have to want it enough to do it. I have to be ok with failure. Because there will be many times that something will not work or I will fall flat on my face. But I need to be ok with this in order to get back up and do it all over again, in a different manner. In a better way. Fear is something that holds me back from so much. If I could only let that go and have faith in myself to overcome any obstacle standing in my way. Most times that obstacle is myself. When I do allow myself to be set free wonderful things happen. I am opened up to a world that enlightens me. It captures my soul. It rocks my core. It shakes up my mind and tantalizes my bones. Those are the days I control my own destiny and it's a miraculous thing.

"Here's to the crazy ones, the misfits, the rebels, the troublemakers, the round pegs in the square holes... the ones who see things differently -- they're not fond of rules... You can quote them, disagree with them, glorify or vilify them, but the only thing you can't do is ignore them because they change things... they push the human race forward, and while some may see them as the crazy ones, we see genius, because the ones who are crazy enough to think that they can change the world, are the ones who do." - Steve Jobs
