In which direction are you moving? Are you advancing toward your dreams, or, are you retreating? I think it’s important that in whatever circumstance we find ourselves in, we are moving towards those dreams. There may be brief seasons of not being able to due to circumstances beyond our control, but the general direction of our lives should be towards those dreams.
Why does it really matter? It matters because those dreams inside of us are more than just about me or you. Those dreams are also about the people we will help, impact, and influence as move towards our dreams. (more…)
Chasing, Running, or Standing? May 21, 2009

There are three kinds of people. Those that are chasing after something, those that are running from something, …and those that are standing still. …The world opens up to those that are standing still. -Moses, a character in the book “Bad Ground” by W. Dale Cramer
I read this quote recently and it has caused me to ponder… Is there truth in what this character shares in this fictional story? Are there three kinds of people: those that are chasing something, those that are running from something, and those that are standing still? Possibly we fit into each of these groups at different times in our lives, but where do we spend most of our time? (more…)

For those of you who have a really hard time knowing who you are—what you like, what you want, what your purpose is—this post is for you. I used to be at the same place. Years ago I could not tell you much about myself—what I liked, what were my dreams, what I wanted out of life. If you are at a similar place, let me share how you can begin to discover the real you.

Have you ever had a very strong sense that you were to do something? So, you did it, but it ended up being a complete catastrophe—or at least not near what you imagined it would be? What do you do with that? What do you do with thinking you were to do something, and you did, but it flopped? Will I ever trust that inner premonition again—or will I just ignore it?
Before we discuss that, let’s also consider the other side. How many times have we thought or have heard someone say “Oh, I had that sense but I didn’t pay attention to it.” Or, “I was thinking that but I didn’t do anything about it.” After all is said and done, we realize that what we were picking up on was right on.

I see many people with incredible dreams inside of them—great dreams, purposeful dreams—but they get stuck. And in the midst of being stuck they give up a little bit of those dreams. Then they give up a little bit more and a little bit more till they become settled in ‘seemingly reality’. And, we all miss out.
You see, I think those dreams inside each of us have a lot to do with our purpose and why we’re here. Our dreams are like seeds planted inside of us meant to be watered and nurtured and grown—grown to fruition. Then, and only then, will we not only experience fulfillment within, but those around us will greatly benefit. It is my hope that this blog, through our discussions and interactions, will help all of us in the process of watering, nurturing, and growing our dreams.
