How Long Until Your Dreams Come to Life?

Leadership & AlignmentTherapy & Coaching

Jul 18

I have always been comfortable being in front of folks. I never had a problem being the "leader." Whether I was leading a class, a band (yes, I was a drum major!), or leading a group - I always felt good about it.

Working hard and setting an example are just part of who I am. (And honestly, it's taken me quite a long time to own those characteristics.)

On Sunday night I got the news that I am going to be speaking at TEDx Lady Bird Lake.

Amazing news.

Many people in my workspace covet speaking on a TEDx stage. TEDx is an amazing brand and validates one as a speaker.

I know my value lies in kindness and service and in God - and so I am not worried about being validated (that also took me a long time to reconile) - but achieving goals is always fun.

On December 5th, 2017 I posted something on FB that said a life goal I had was to speak at TED.

So from the outside, it looks like I'm some kind of overnight success.

I'm anything but.

I have been leading and in front of people my entire life. Probably since I was 5 or 6. I always knew I had something special in me - but it took me a long time to own it. And since I'm older and wiser now - I now know that EVERYONE has that something special too.

MOVING ON.

So here's the deal. When will your dreams come true? I don't know.

But I do know that God is pacing you. He is molding you. He is getting you ready. He wants to you be the strongest, kindest, wisest version of yourself so that when that dream knocks on your door. YOU ARE READY.

YOU ARE READY TO HONOR IT.

You are ready to step into the greatness of ALL of who you are.

Take heart - you are being fortified from the inside out.

God's dream for you is not to REACH YOUR DREAM - but to build you up so that you experience love and kindness and joy and walking in the thickness of your purpose.
