Extreme Dreams



Anyone who knows me well knows that I am not the typical dreamer. I’m an extreme dreamer. I have the LONGEST list of dreams and desires that I am determined to dabble in sometime in my lifespan. My soul is tearing at the seams with ambition… I’m actually at the point where the word ‘ambition’ just won’t suffice. I’d say it’s more like a hunger that will never be suppressed. This hunger has even been more “pushy” on my spirit lately… almost like a continuous electrical charge, driving me and stimulating my crave for the next adventure. My dreams run free and deep. Some call them crazy. Some call ME crazy, but in the end, I will never regret the life I have lived. I will never take for granted the freedom I feel. I refuse to tame the intense drive within me to not only live life, but live the ultimate. I will not neglect God's devine will for my life and I will not fall short of the capacity at which God wants to use me.


Occasionally we share dreams with those who don’t quite understand the power of dreams. When the inevitable encounter occurs, be sure to remember these things … We are children of God and he empowers us to do WHATEVER desire God places in our hearts! There will be those who will try to speak negativity into our lives. By allowing this to happen, we give others the control to dictate our future. We crawl into the passenger seat, surrendering the wheel to a person who will drive our future down a road called Mediocrity Lane.


We can sometimes become our own worst enemy when it comes to putting a cap on our dreams. Negativity produced by our own selves is derived from our defense mechanism. A wall of self defense can be designed to protect us from possible failure. Anyone that we allow to add to our created negativity will add to that wall, increasing the support of negative thoughts and strengthening the wall built up in our own minds.


You may say “I’m past the years of dreaming” …"it’s too late for me”… or “I’m too old.” ...FALSE. You are never too old to start living. Dig up those old dreams and pursue them! Surround yourself with people that believe in you. Surround yourself with those who believe in the impossible. Surround yourself with the ones that believe in the beauty and the power of dreams!
