Our thoughts become things.

To be yourself in a world that is constantly trying to make you something else is the greatest accomplishment no matter who you are.

Dreaming is important.
I dream a lot. 

I dream about adventures, obstacles, goals... and ideas. Sometimes when I wake up the morning I am so excited & antsy because my dreams that night were wonderful (I really wanted to type the word 'magical' instead of 'wonderful' right there, but I didn't want my inner Harry Potter nerd to distract from the brevity of my post). Lately my dreams have been about a life in the future where I am in sunny California and I am famous. However, never once have I figured out where that fame came from. In these dreams am I working in music, an inspiring author, a motivational speaker? I have no idea. But I do know that after spending so many years hiding from people & letting my fear of judgement & opinions strike down my personality-- I like the dreams about fame. Being shy just wasn't who I was supposed to be. 

So I have a new goal. I want to be noticed. But not for something dumb... we all know what kinds of things I am referring to here. I want to be worthy of the fame that I experience in all of my recent dreams. I want to impact lives. I will impact lives.
