“Dream big. As much as you can, dream and believe you can do the things you dream. You are the only one who can set limits on yourself. Only you.”
I will never forget that moment. That moment that my father gave me this advice that changed my life. These words were uttered from my father, right after he handed me a book called, All Things Are Possible, on my 12th birthday. It was a life-changing moment for me. I hung onto those rock hard words from him and I made the choice to believe that I could dream and fulfill anything that my heart desired.
I’m sure you know how much of an impression those words could have on a little girl and probably the inspiring impression that my father has continued to have on me throughout my life. He has been my championed. My go-to person whenever I needed some encouragement, belief in myself, and the willingness to not give up on myself. He has been my great dreamer; my best friend.
That advice from my dad has continued to stick with me today, really now more than ever as I look to discover who I am and go after the goals that I have for my life. This idea of dreaming big is what I have treasured most about my dad. He has always motivated me and helped me to understand that I have everything needed deep within myself to make my dreams become my reality, despite anything that tells me or makes me feel otherwise.
It was really his soul-jolting, loving words that have moved my soul throughout my life to reach higher, dream bigger, and to form the courage within myself to believe that anything was possible for me. Even as I write this now, just thinking about how he has continued to ignite the fire within me to live out my dreams — never settling — makes me want to cry.
Though my journey has not always been easy, I love my father tremendously for always continuously encouraging me to never let my speed bump become my stop sign. His words pushed me then and they have continued to push me now.
So Dad, please know, I will never stop dreaming, will never stop believing, and will never stop holding onto the notion that you have continued to give me: all things are indeed possible…
