“It is good to have a dream, as long as the dream does not have you. Ambition can form an impenetrable barrier for those who fail to acknowledge what they already are. Nothing grows in the shadow of want without the sunlight of acknowledging your fullness. You already have and are complete; your value is intrinsic. The reason you can accomplish something is because you already had it within you. Our value is mirrored back to us through success only when we share the treasure we already are. The first step to sharing ourselves is simply acknowledging. Acknowledge your gifts. Acknowledge your blessings. Acknowledge your contentment. When you are constantly waiting and wanting, your declaration is that you are NOT. When you accept your value and have gratitude you are declaring your worthiness of further receivership. Our receiving expands with our gratitude.” -Bryant McGill
Dreams
Self-Doubt Can Easily…
“Self-doubt can easily become the cause of every missed step in life. Self-doubt steals dreams, denies hope, and assassinates faith. Know that you know what you are doing. When you do what feels right for you, know that you know it is right for you.” —Iyanla Vanzant
Don’t You Find It Odd…
“Don’t you find it odd,” she continued, “that when you’re a kid, everyone, all the world, encourages you to follow your dreams. But when you’re older, somehow they act offended if you even try.” ―Ethan Hawke
Your Vision Will Become Clear…
“Your vision will become clear only when you look into your heart. Who looks outside, dreams. Who looks inside, awakens.”
-Carl Jung
A World In Which…
Only Ignorant People Walk Away From Greatness
“Dignity
/ˈdignitē/ noun
1. The moment you realize that the person you cared for has nothing intellectually or spiritually to offer you, but a headache.
2. The moment you realize God has greater plans for you that don’t involve crying at night or sad Pinterest quotes.
3. The moment you stop comparing yourself to others because it undermines your worth, education, and your parent’s wisdom.
4. The moment you live your dreams, not because of what it will prove or get you, but because that is all you want to do. People’s opinions don’t matter.
5. The moment you realize that no one is your enemy, except yourself.
6. The moment you realize that you can have everything you want in life. However, it takes time, the right heart, the right actions, the right passion, and a willingness to risk it all. If it is not yours, it is because you really didn’t want it, need it, or God prevented it.
7. The moment you realize the ghost of your ancestors stood between you and the person you loved. They really don’t want you mucking up the family line with someone that acts anything less than honorable.
8. The moment you realize that happiness was never about getting a person. They are only a helpmate towards achieving your life mission.
9. The moment you believe that love is not about losing or winning. It is just a few moments in time, followed by an eternity of situations to grow from.
10. The moment you realize that you were always the right person. Only ignorant people walk away from greatness.”
―Shannon L.Alder
