No one ever says, “Hey, you actually aren’t worthy of your dreams. You’ll never ever make it. You should probably dream really small.” [except Satan, and who actually cares what he has to say, because he’s a big fat liar, despite the ways he’s portrayed as a red devil, ripped and with six pack abs]
I’m dreaming big, because God has put some big things on my heart. And He has for you, too. You might not know what they are yet, and that’s okay. When you’re supposed to know, you’ll know. Also, you might have some distant dreams buried. You should let God dust off the boxes of dreams you’ve had stored in the attic of your heart. Open them up. Cut through the tape and peel back the flaps of those boxes.
Sit and write and dream again. Those dreams are desires in your heart. They’re there for a reason. Probably because they have to do with your purpose and calling (yes, your life has purpose, and you have a calling!). So don’t give up on them!
There will be days you want to quit. Or days you think, “This is stupid. Why did I ever think I could actually do this.” Remember when I talked about Satan being a big fat liar? That’s him planting doubt and lies. So you can just weed those out.
First of all: know what God says about you in His word. His word is truth. It will never fail you.
(Jeremiah 29:11)
(Romans 8:28)
(Ephesians 1)
God is for you and with you. He won’t let you go. He put the dreams on and in your heart and head for a reason. Chase after Him and the big things will follow, step by step. I fully believe that.
Second: surround yourself with a community of people who support you, no matter how wild and big your dreams are.
They say you become like the five people you spent the most time with. Who are your friends? Are they helping you dream and pursue those dreams, or are they constantly telling you they’re too big? You have a dream and calling, and you don’t have time to settle for people who aren’t supporting you. You deserve good friends who help support you and help you chase your dreams.
These two things are so important, I can’t tell you enough! I wouldn’t be sitting and writing this in PANAMA on the WORLD RACE, if God wouldn’t have planted this dream in me, and friends hadn’t supported me in getting here!
I would love if you messaged me and told me your dreams so I can be praying over them and you!! Feel free to message me. I’d also just love to help you dream big!
Much love friends.
XOXO.
Vicks.
