“Disappointments were not meant to destroy you. They were meant to strengthen you and give you the fortitude to accomplish your God-given destiny.” ~ Joel Osteen
Are you tired of not going after your dreams? Well, maybe it’s about time that you start going after them… NOW.
My mission is to inspire you. Do not keep settling on not living your best life now. You are only going to be a miserable person. In fact, you might even try to be miserable to other people who are actually trying to fulfill the dreams that you wanted to achieve. So, why do you keep complaining or keep just accepting things as they are?
It is not written in stone anywhere that you cannot create the changes that you wish to see, and that you need to stop going after your dreams. In fact, God calls for us to dream big!! He wants us to have faith…and He wants to use us in changing the world.
I think it’s about time that you stop analyzing all of the reasons as to why you should not or cannot step into your purpose. Remember, God did not give you a dream if you were not meant to fulfill it. He places a calling in each of our hearts to fulfill His divine purpose for this world.
I just want to encourage you today to take that next step… to get rid of your doubts and insecurities… and to keep walking in faith. You have too much to do in this world!! You cannot settle for your current condition, job, and more. You have to go after your dreams!!
God gave you passions and talents for you to put them to use. He calls for each of us to live up to the person that He created us to be. If you doubt His will for your life and if you decide to settle, then He will simply use someone else to accomplish his mission. Don’t be that person who settles and doubts…
MESSAGE FROM TYLER PERRY: DON’T STOP BELIEVING
I always love this message from Tyler Perry about pursuing your dreams. One of my mentors emailed it to me when I was in college. I printed it out and put it on my refrigerator. I still meditate on it from time-to-time. Regardless of what you think about Tyler Perry. I really feel that there are a lot of truths to what he said. Hope you enjoy his message:

I wanted to give up so many times. So many people told me it wouldn’t work; so many people made it their business to convince me to give up on my dreams. But I didn’t give up. I kept moving. With no one being there, I kept believing; when I got down, I would ray even harder. I think I wore God down about that show! …LOL. So glad he heard my prayers. It scares me to think where I would be if I had given up.
WOW! What a thought… if I had given up, you wouldn’t be reading this right now. Thank you, Jesus, for faith. All of that to say… don’t stop believing!
I woke up this morning with this question for you, and think about this… What brings you joy? What dreams have you abandoned, because it got too hard or you failed at them? People will often tell you what you can’t do; they will try to discourage YOU from reaching for your goals… even the ones that are closet to you will say things that hurt the most, but whatever you do… DON’T STOP BELIEVING!
God didn’t give your friends and family your vision– He gave it to you! You have to try. I think that is why there are so many unhappy people. I think so many people have walked away from their dreams because it got too hard. They stopped believing because they got discouraged… Don’t stop believing!
Every miracle in my life started with someone telling me what I could not do.
