Have you ever thought about what appears in the night to steal our dreams from us? There is actually a thief in your mind if you will who is after your dreams.  He goes by the name of doubt! If you should see him you need to call the cops because he has killed more dreams than failure ever did or will do for the rest of your life.

He shows up wearing many disguises and just like a virus he will leave you blinded divided and oftentimes turns you into a “kinda”. You see “kinda”  is lethal.  There are a lot of “kinda” people in the world. Here are a few examples. You “kinda” want a career change. You kinda want to get straight A’s. You “kinda” want to get in shape or “kinda” want to lose weight. The results are simple if you “kinda” of want something you will “kinda” get the results you want.

What is your dream? What ignites that spark in you that you want to accomplish with every part of your whole heart? Guess what it will be a struggle! will you struggle? Struggling is the path to success and there is no way around it. You will fall many times, but who’s counting. Just remember that there’s is no such thing as a smooth mountain if you want to make it to the top. There are sharp ridges that must be stepped over. There will be times you get stressed and things you get depressed over you can count on it!

Did you know that Steven Spielberg was rejected from film school three times but he kept going? The TV execs fired Oprah because they felt she wasn’t fit for TV. The best part was she kept going! Can you imagine that the critics told Beyonce that she couldn’t sing! She experienced depression because of those comments, but she kept going.

It appears struggle and criticism are prerequisites for greatness. A law of this universe and no one escapes it. Because pain is life, but you can choose what type though. It can be either the pain on the road to success or the pain of being haunted with regret to just being a “kinda”. We have all been given a gift that we call life so don’t blow it.

You are not defined by your past instead, you are born anew in each moment of your life. Sometimes you just got a leap off the cliff and grow your wings on the way down. Make sure you get this shot off before the clock runs out because they are no overtime in life, no, do-overs.  It may sound like I am doing a bit of preaching, but if you don’t use the gift God planted in you will lose it. So what invention do you have buried in your mind? What new idea? What radical new process for something is brewing in your mind? What cure could you solve? What is it specifically that you have to bring to this universe? Did you know that “uni” means one, “verse” means song, what part do you have to play in this song in the uni-verse. So grab your microphone and be brave to sing your heart out on life’s stage!

There is no way you can go back to make a brand-new beginning but you start now to make a brand new ending for your life!!
