Don't sleep on your dreams

Last night was the beginning of a dream I have had inside of me for awhile now. But before I share what it is, here is how the dream began:

In my current position at work, I was introduced to a local radio show called Michigan Business Rap. My boss is a weekly expert panelist along with other business owners. On occasion, I would accompany him to the studio to take photos and post info on social media during the show.

Then, he began to give me the opportunity to share or speak if I had something to add to the topic begin discussed. I always felt like I had something to add, but I was sooooo nervous!!! However, the more I had the opportunity to speak on the radio, the more confident I became. It was exciting to me & I quickly discovered it was a passion of mine.

I am by no means experienced or a veteran, but it is something I enjoy & am passionate about. So,  my husband and I have been researching different podcasts, microphones, radio shows, costs, etc.We decided to start our first podcast last night. It was really fun. So exciting, in fact, we both had a hard time sleeping last night!

I am so glad we made the choice just to get out there and start. Many people wait until the 'right moment' or the 'perfect time' but there isn't one. The right moment is now. The perfect time is today. Now don't get me wrong, you have to plan ahead and map somethings out. But what I'm saying is that a lot of us have dreams inside of us and are using various excuses to put it off. Maybe we are afraid of failure, maybe we don't know how to begin. But again, if you don't know how to begin, simply start & you will figure it out along the way.

I share this with you to re-light the flame of those dreams inside of you. What is it that you have wanted to do for a long time? Write a book? Start a business? Sell your paintings? Whatever it is, just start. If you don't know what it is you want to do...do you have any passions or strengths? Start there and figure that out by just trying different things. It won't be perfect. It will be hard. It will be messy. You will make mistakes. But at least you are trying. At least you are testing your limits, taking risks.
