If your dream doesn’t give you goosebumps then you don’t really understand the significance and importance of your own dream.
Or maybe it’s not really your dream. Maybe it’s someone else’s dream for you. It’s hard to get excited about a dream that you didn’t dream up yourself, right?
“Real” dreams (the ones that are truly yours) keep poking at you and poking at you. They make you crazy because they keep poking.
And poking.
And poking.
POKE. POKE. POKE. POKE.
POKE.
Until you finally RISE UP and say, “Yes, ok, fiiiiiiiine! I see you my big gutsy beautiful dream. And I have the goosebumps to prove it.”
My big gutsy beautiful dream for you is that YOU HAVE A DREAM that cannot be ignored, no matter how hard your mind may tell you that “it’ll never happen,” or “you don’t have what it takes” to live that dream.
My big gutsy beautiful dream for you is that you tell your monkey mind to shut the eff up.
My big gutsy beautiful dream for you is that, no matter how many times “it” hasn’t worked before, you’ll keep getting back up off the floor and doing it again. Until you get what you want.
Just because something didn’t work before is no reason to turn your back on your dream.
Seriously? How could you? THIS IS YOUR DREAM!
If you’re not going to fight for your dream I will.
(This is your dream talking.)
Your dream deserves everything you’ve got.
Everything.
It doesn’t matter that your feelings got hurt before.
It doesn’t matter that you made a mistake once upon a time.
It doesn’t matter that you “tried” something and it failed.
It doesn’t matter that you got laughed at.
It doesn’t matter that you’re terrified.
It doesn’t matter that you’re ashamed.
It doesn’t matter that you think you know all the answers.
All that matters is your dream.
And it deserves EVERYTHING you’ve got.
(Ok, now this is me talking.)
If this doesn’t give you goosebumps then it’s not really your dream.
Let’s fix that. I want your dream to WIN! And I want you to fight for it.
In love and BIG BOLD BEAUTIFUL GUTS,
