What do you dream of?

Do you have a vision you believe in?

Or maybe you haven’t imagined a vision or thought of your dreams in forever.

The truth is most couldn’t talk about a specific vision or voice a dream with confidence.  That’s because we really don’t allow ourselves to think about it and rarely talk about, if at all.  Especially if we’re stressed or have been through trauma.

Why?

We blow it off as insignificant, selfish or tell ourselves “get real.” 

My friend, your vision and dreams are the most real thing about your soul.  What’s sad is that we cannot thrive in our life without seeing our dreams as reality.  If you question that, let me ask you:  Would you say you are thriving?  If so, you could tell me your dream or vision in a snap without thinking about it.  And I guarantee I would see a smile on your face.

In life experience and as a Life Coach, I have learned the vast majority of people minimize their dissatisfaction saying something like, “I’m okay, I just feel a little stuck,” or “I’m surviving.”  It’s embarrassing and quite frankly painful to admit, “I’m far from thriving.”

First of all, we blame ourselves and inwardly believe we just aren’t enough to deserve the dreams and visions we could be thriving in.  You know, something like this – it’s possible for someone else but that will never happen for me.  

It’s a lie!  And you’ve been robbed!

At some point in our life we learn to measure our worth.  We receive messages, subtle as they might be, both verbally and silently from our parents and people we don’t even know, whether it be invalidating our feelings, shooting down our excitement or ideas, insinuations we can do better, or judging something in our life as “wrong.”  We eventually come to the conclusion we are not enough.  We play a game of hide and seek instead of showing the world the beautiful everything you are.

That includes the big, beautiful dreams that are a part of every cell of your being – that you believe is not enough.

Can I tell you a secret?

Dream those dreams, even if not out loud.  Sit and smile at your visions.  They are part of you for a reason!  They are the core to a life that thrives!  It is the sun to our souls.

Your soul longs to thrive.  Dream and dream big!  You are enough to live it!

You were meant to dream – you were meant to live your vision!

Dreaming and thriving,

Ruthie
