Your Dreams Matter: Keep Working Toward Them

Do you ever think about giving up on a dream? Maybe you’re frustrated about how your business is doing. Or you’re discouraged about your progress toward making a dream come true.

We all face opposition and we all get weary at times. That’s what I want to talk about today.

Perhaps you feel like no one is supporting what you’re doing. You feel alone and lack the encouragement you need to make your dream a reality.

Or it’s possible that you’ve endured so many hardships, you just don’t know if you can continue in the same way as you’ve been doing up until now.

It may seem like you’re not qualified or experienced enough. Or you’ve made?mistakes?in the past, and you don’t feel worthy of fulfilling your dreams anymore.

Well, I want to put things in a different perspective.

I want you to think back to your great, great-grandmother. Maybe you know her name or maybe you don’t. Maybe you have heard stories about her or you might have to guess what her life was like.

Regardless, it’s safe to say that she could not have had the same dreams that you have today.

She couldn’t have dreamed of starting her own business, most likely. She might not have received much of an education. She might not have had a choice about whether to work or in what capacity. She certainly could never have imagined the daily conveniences that we enjoy and take for granted.

You have the opportunity to do so much. And you are standing on the shoulders of so many who came before you who didn’t have the opportunities you had.

And here’s the really special thing… You are not facing your hardships alone.

That great-grandmother, along with so many others who came before you, overcame so much in their lives. You can overcome so much in yours.

Think of your friends, family members, and colleagues who sincerely want you to succeed. They are cheering you on. You have more people cheering you on than you might realize. And when you know someone is cheering for you, you can keep going, work a little harder, and do a little more.

I like to imagine all of the people who came before me cheering me on. They’re saying, “Achieve greatness. Live your purpose. What you do with your life matters.”

Life may be tough, but you’ve got what it takes to make your dreams a reality.

It may seem like you’re not qualified or experienced enough, but like David in the Bible, you can defeat a giant like Goliath.

You may have made mistakes in the past, but that doesn’t mean you can’t become who you were created to be. Moses was 80 before God used him to fulfill his great purpose.

It’s easy to let things get under your skin – traffic, bills, long lines, or less-than-polite people. But think about your troubles in comparison to what those who came before you endured.

They would have been happy to sit in some traffic in a nice, air-conditioned car instead of riding in a horse and buggy over a bumpy road. Instead of complaining, put your troubles in perspective.

Now, I’m not trivializing what you’ve struggled with. Your challenges are real. What I’m saying is that you can overcome your obstacles.

If you don’t do it for yourself, do it not only for those who came before you but also for those who come after you. Whether you have children or not, think of the young woman a few generations from now who will be standing on your shoulders achieving beyond our imaginations. Do a little more, dream a little bigger, and try a little harder, knowing that she will run because you walk.

Decide that you’re not going to give up on what has been passed down to you. You’re going to go further, be better, and strive a little harder as you work to make your dream a reality.

One more thing… I want you to know that I’m cheering you on, in addition to all of the people who came before you and those around you. You do have support and a champion in your corner.
