Don’t Let Others Limit Your Dreams

Have the opinions of other people caused you to water down your dreams? There will always be critics and naysayers in life. It’s not what’s said about you that affects your life, but what you say and believe about yourself.

One of the most important things you can learn is that other people don’t have to believe in you in order for your dreams to come to pass. Other people don’t set the limits for your life — you do.

 “It doesn’t matter if other people don’t believe. Their unbelief is not going to keep you from believing in your dreams. it’s up to you! You don’t need everyone to validate you. You have to follow the voice within yourself.

Remember, There are hidden treasures that you’ve had buried on the inside of you. Bring those treasures out and make your dreams reality! As you get rid of old, defeated thoughts and replace them, you will remove the limits and live the abundant life that is in store for you!

Push People Up

We all need somebody to believe in us more than we believe in ourselves. We all need people who will push us up, so to speak. After all, there are enough people trying to push us down in life. There are enough people telling us what we can’t become and how we don’t have what it takes.

 I know in my own life, I wouldn’t be half of who I am if it were not for my family. They have so much faith in me. They see my potential on the inside.

I believe we all have the responsibility to do this for others. Let’s push people up. Let’s look with our eyes of faith and see their potential and tell them what they can become. If you will be that person for somebody else, I am positive somebody will be there for you.

Friend, every person has seeds of greatness inside. You can cause your children to rise to a new level. You can be the catalyst for your family to do things they never thought possible. Your words have creative power.

Peace in the Present Moment

When the day’s worries begin to overwhelm me, I recognize that peace is what my soul longs for most. Just by saying the word, I begin to breathe easier, feel lighter, and think clearer,  allowing me to focus on peace.

Sanity doesn’t suffer, ever. A clear mind is beautiful and sees only its own reflection. It bows in humility to itself; it falls at its own feet. It doesn’t add anything or subtract anything; it simply knows the difference between what’s real and what’s not. And because of this, danger isn’t a possibility. Life will bring us everything we need, to show us what we haven’t undone yet. Nothing outside ourselves can make us suffer, except for our unquestioned thoughts.

 I’ve heard people say that they cling to their painful thoughts because they’re afraid that without them they wouldn’t be activists for peace. “If I felt completely peaceful,” they say, “why would I bother taking action at all?” My answer is “Because that’s what love does.” To think that we need sadness or outrage to motivate us to do what’s right is insane. As if the clearer and happier you get, the less kind you become. As if when someone finds freedom, she just sits around all day with drool running down her chin.

My experience is the opposite. Love is action. It’s clear, it’s kind, it’s effortless, and it’s irresistible. 

Live with an Eternal Perspective

So much of our culture is inward focused. People are conditioned to think, “What’s in it for me?” If we are always self-focused wondering how we can benefit, that’s living with a shallow, temporary mentality.

Instead of looking out only for your good, turn it around and say, “How can I be a blessing to others? Who can I inspire to rise higher? What seeds of greatness can I call forth out of someone?”, that’s living at a higher level.

Be encouraged to be on the lookout for ways to be a blessing to other people. It’s amazing how one word of encouragement can change the direction of a person’s life forever.

When you reach out and speak faith over others, when you speak vision and cause others to rise higher, something supernatural happens to your own life. It won’t be long before you see yourself excelling and rising up higher when you live with an eternal perspective!
