Have you waited too long to pursue your dream?

July 27th, 2009

Did that question make you mad? Maybe this blog is for you.

As we make our way through this world we get caught into a cycle of what society deems to be “appropriate” or “ordinary”. Well I can tell you right now that no ordinary person has ever been a world changer. Just think for a moment those who have impacted the world, pursuing their own dreams, walking to the beat of their drum – NOT society’s.

For me, people like: Ghandi, Mother Theresa, Princes Diana, Martin Luther King, Obama – stand out. All of these people have/had their own dreams and not matter how the world laughed, how the world mocked them they persevered powered by the strength of their dream.

What if you had half of the conviction and dedication to your dream that these world changers had/have? Can you imagine the difference in your own life? Maybe your job would be different, your relationships would be richer; maybe YOU would be happier.

Now I am not a proponent of the Law of Attraction but I do know that being focused on what you want will bring you much closer. I believe it is God that hears you, not the universe that he created and He will not give anything to you until you are ready; it would be irresponsible of Him. How many of you parents would give your six year old a car to drive? You wouldn’t because he would hurt himself or others around him. No different really with God, He will not give you wealth or success until you are capable of handling the responsibility.

So where is this leading to?

The need for personal development, no matter where you are along your path in life there is always something that can be improved: leadership, teambuilding, personal growth, communication.

If you are not yet living your dream, take a close look at who you are and what you are doing. You may not be ready to live the life you aspire to. Take a look at the courses I offer as well as courses from others; there will be something out there that will help you to turn your dream into reality.

All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given to us.

Testimonials

I hired Sheila to develop and lead a workshop on conflict resolution to my staff of eight. The workshop was well-organised. The feedback I received from staff was all positive, and they found the workshop to be constructive and effective. Subsequent to the workshop, the level of staff interpersonal conflict was much reduced, and I found the attitudes and productivity of the staff much improved. I would recommend Sheila for any organization that desires to improve its interstaff relations and increase productivity.
