Ivy League-educated criminal lawyer Mel Robbins, one of the top career and relationship experts in America, says scientists calculate that the probability of being born is a one in 400 trillion chance. Which begs the question why so many of people give up on their dreams like fallen confetti swept away in the winds of time.
I believe in the power of dreams to drive me into the future no matter what the situation is or the challenges life presents, as I take aim to turn lemons into a sweet Margarita. I believe in the power of friendship and community no matter our differences or what our culture and heritage may be.
Dreams have the power to define how we see the world based upon our beliefs and convictions shaping the reality of our experiences and the choices we make in the spur of the moment or even those we have planned.
Jane Morales, a success achievement strategist, tends to support this idea.
My intention here is to inspire those who continue to believe in the power of dreams and to gently rock the cradle by raising folks out of a self-induced state of sleep.
Many of us tend to carry the burden of our parent’s expectations which may hinder the true potential that resides in our own ability to reach out for the stars.
Fear and anxiety appear in different forms raising certain questions that hold us back like: Can’t somebody hear me? Won’t somebody save me? Hold me, teach me, protect me and love me! Why? Am I bad? Do I look so different? Did I do something wrong?
It’s time to shake off the dust before climbing back into the ring and to be a contender fighting for the world championship of our dreams. This life is short, and we have only now to make a difference toward the future of our own design.
