The other day I heard the following:

You’re not waiting for your dreams to come true. Your dreams are waiting for YOU to come true.

At first blush, this sounds so strange. What does it even mean?

I thought about it for a while and soon, I became fascinated with the idea. It’s simple really…and yet, so powerful.

Here’s the way I see it:

Your dreams are out there, alive and well, waiting for you to do your part. They’re begging for you to step into your true potential—to be the best YOU you can be—to grab them with both hands and turn them into reality.

We have it backwards when we sit around waiting for our dreams. They’re far, far ahead of us. It’s our responsibility to reach out, into the darkness, and pull ourselves toward them—not the other way around. Our dreams beckon for us to become more than who we are today, to take action and live up to our highest calling.

Your dreams do exist; they are real. Let this give you comfort, but also motivation.

Your dreams are dancing in the future, just “killing time” you might say, waiting for you to become the person worthy of their gifts.

Do your part and go find them.

Be true to the highest and best version of yourself and your dreams will appear you will appear for your dreams.
