Dreams Lost in the Process...

I was just thinking to myself how sometimes when you're not only book smart but naturally smart, gifted and talented it can sometimes work against you. Although you may have dreams and aspirations beyond what you are currently doing there are people who are counting on you who need your gifts to help their life move forward which delay you from evolving to the next place in life that you desire or cause you to delay what you know God wants you to do next.  While I know it's not bad for people to need you as a matter of fact it's a good thing.  The thing that is bad is when you become lost in the process and when you don't fully experience all that is in your heart to do because others need you.

This can become a void. I've watched many people live a life that is void of what is in their heart to do because of others.  My advice is to do everything that is within your power to recapture your dream and not lose yourself or your dream in the process.  Take at least a few hours in a week to work on your dream.  Doing so eliminates the seeds of "regret" and "bitterness" and "low self-worth / value" out of your life that sometimes form if you're always putting everyone's needs before your own.  

Remember hope deferred makes the heart sick! Do everything you can to experience the things that you are hoping for and you will add more color to your rainbow!!

Just a thought for today!
