Personal Growth
What Burns in Your Bones?
Do you have dreams that won’t let you go? Do they burn in your bones? Do you have visions in your imagination that make your heart ache? Write them down.
English Standard Version Habakkuk 2:2
And the LORD answered me: “Write the vision; make it plain on tablets, so he may run who reads it.
If you don’t write your dreams down, you will forget. Writing them down triggers your mind to begin searching for ways to bring the dreams to fruition.
Commit to your dreams and set incrementally achievable goals. Do your research to learn what skill sets are required to turn your dreams into a financially lucrative endeavor.
I spent my life learning to sing and be an Administrator to help others achieve their dreams, but failed to learn how to be a shrewd businesswoman for my own projects. I was in it for the sake of art and science. It was of me foolish of me not to learn how to use my talent, to securely earn residual income, while I developed my own crafts.
I trusted others to take care of the logistics of career building for me. All that got me was used by takers, cons, and users. My coattail was open for anyone to ride on. I am a giver by nature. I trusted folks to return the leg up that they got from me.
That didn’t happen. I look around and see many people, who were blessed by God to achieve greatness through the insights that I shared with them. He gave me a generous heart. I do not regret being a helping hand to others on their way up the ladder. My one regret is not educating myself about things that are required, for maintaining financial freedom through investing in my own success.
I have been blessed to be able to help others write their dreams down, set achievable goals, facilitate the goals, and be supportive while they work toward achieving them. It is time to apply this system to myself.
Reeducating myself in the use of old programs that reside in new technology has been a bear to fight. Moving forward requires learning new ways to use old skills. Is is exhausting. Sometimes it feels like I am going backwards.
Eventually the learning curve will level out. I will publish the stack of books, poetry, songs and other artwork that has been burning in my bones for a lifetime.
“First things first.” Write your vision down, educate yourself, set incrementally achievable goals, and begin building your dreams.
Some will fail miserably, but the lessons learned on the journey toward finding purpose and fulfilling destiny, will be worth the effort you put forth.
Life without regrets, is worth living. Failures happen. Satisfaction comes through knowing that you tried your best to find your own path. Self actualization is our responsibility to achieve. No one else can do it for us. Hopefully our journey toward destiny will be financially lucrative, as well.
