Dreamzzz

My wonderful friend recently posed a really great question on her blog. When I initially responded I said something cute but then I really started to think about what she asked. So, I hope she doesn’t mind but here’s her question (slightly revised):

“Why are there so many things I want to do???  Sometimes I wonder why I’m such a big dreamer.  I talk about them alot, and yet alot of the time, they don’t happen…They’re crazy and out there, and sometimes weird, but they are my heart!!  It’s so easy to say “well …go do it!!  what are you waiting for?!?”  But what is it that keeps us from doing these things sometimes?  When should it end??  When is the line drawn for how far you can really go with your dreams?”

When I started to ponder this on my own I realized my serious response. My answer is there is never an end to our dreams, no matter how crazy or weird they might be! However, there are two types of dreams. The first type are just cool things to think about. The second are things that run deep within your veins. Things that you absolutely know you are destined for.  What stops us from achieving that second type of dream?  We do. A lot of times we are our biggest impediment. We don’t just step out and do it. I will say this though. I can’t say that in every situation it’s always us. Sometimes it can be timing and circumstances.  I just know that in my experience I have found that more often than not, it’s us. We’re holding us back.
