Rock Your Dream

Little kids engage in creative play and take on personas all the time. They decide to be an astronaut or princess on Monday, a fireman or a dancer on Tuesday. As the grown-ups we encourage children to try on many hats and not censor or restrict their futures.

So what happened when the little kid in you grew up? Are you living any of those childhood dreams? Or did you veer off the path and find yourself settled into a job or lifestyle?

It’s all good, you say, in public, but in private does your internal dialogue go more like: “This wasn’t the way I thought my life would be.”

Today, don’t beat yourself up because the original dreams you once had didn’t turn out the way you’d hoped.

“What you are seeking is seeking you.” ~RUMI

I believe your original dreams and intentions are still buried within you, under layers and layers of detours and side trips, like marriages, kids, mortgages, success in another career. That inner child recalls the days you always wanted to be — fill in the blank.

Here’s the good thing: You’ve grown up. In your arsenal are life experiences, education, awareness, connections, wisdom and resources you didn’t have as a six year old. You know who you are now, so go be her/him, now.

BE F-G AWESOME TODAY!
